Football in Malaysia

|
I was chatting with Likai, and we talked bout our country's footballers and we found some interesting but sad facts:

Did you know?
  1. It takes 8 days for Ricardo Kaka, FIFA World Player in year 2007, to become a millionaire. It takes 1102 days for our highest paid player - yet not local - Frank Seator, to become a millionaire.
  2. It costs £94 to watch an Arsenal match, RM8 to watch Selangor FA, yet the stadium is empty.
  3. You can't watch any Super League - our league, nice name la - games on TV now, they've got no money to broadcast it.
  4. Another reason for not broadcasting it is because they believe by doing so, more people will go to the stadium. And the stadium, yea, still... empty. No people actually realised that TV no longer showing the games, not even i do. No one cares.
  5. The controversial decision by the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) banning foreign players from the Malaysian League next season will change the football landscape: Yup, indeed, from bad to worse.
  6. Golden Boot winner Marlon Alex James of Kedah led the charts with 23 goals followed by Carlos Caceres of Perak (17), Frank Seator of Selangor (15) and Walter Ariel Silva of Johor FC (14). The best Malaysian player not even in the list - He scored only 13 goals. How do you improve your league without foreign players?
  7. Ban on foreign players has just made malaysia football more boring and less competitive. When the foreigners were around, it made locals work harder for a place in the team. Without them, who wants to work hard?
  8. Someone - Er Hrm, someone la - suggested we should stop the league for 1 year, i doubt he knows how many people will lose their jobs - from players, referee, coaches, and so on.
  9. There are 24 coaches in just 40 years for Malaysia National Team, not a single coach has lasted longer than 2 years - clearly, they always put blames on coaches when they failed.
  10. In Malaysia, when a player joins a club, the first thing they want to know is whether the club able to pay their salary or not. In England, especially in Premier League, players want to know how much the club willing to pay.
  11. When you look at the World Ranking at fifa.com, there are only 5 pages, and you can't find Malaysia in the first 3 pages - We are at the 161th at the 4th page, out of 200 plus national teams. In other words, among the last.
Malaysia Boleh? Boleh...
