The Thais played Singapore in the first leg of the finals in the Asean Championships tonight. I watched only the last few minutes of the match after a message from Teddy. The controversial decision by the M'sian referee to award a penalty to Singapore led to a 2-1 loss for Thailand. Apparently a coup was staged and the Thais walked off the pitch in protest. Well, what can I say? Its entertaining right? The second leg of the finals will be held this Saturday at Bangkok...the shopping haven! Too bad can't go

Well what you could say it have been hotly debated in singapore's newspaper... some say its the referee's fault while others say the thais had no rights to protest in a country like singapore...if u are a singaporean, would u dare enter the thai's den on saturday and show off spore's flag proudly...'ll see whats gonna happened...
latest news...Thai players and officials face suspension from the second leg and The walkout came amid growing bad blood between the two countries following last year's takeover by Singapore state investment arm Temasek of telecoms firm Shin Corp, founded by ousted Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
Bangkok police said tight security arrangements were being made to prevent angry scenes at Sunday's match, while big screens would be put up outside the stadium for fans without tickets.
Singapore won! In Bangkok as well!
