But the fact is that for a true National Team, there must not be any foreigners in the team right? Meaning all players must be citizens (whether born here or bought to come here). Ppl like Abbas Saad are not citizens. And their being in the Singapore team hence makes it a non National Team. In essence, since Malaysia Cup is a competition between Malaysian states, the Singapore team is technically also a "state" team, with foreign players who are not citizens. As such, there is nothing wrong with supporting such a team, becos we are supporting it not as a national team per se. And yes, I do get a thrill supporting them, just like thousands of Singaporeans then.

We live in a imperfect world lah bro. Of course, we would want Italy to win the World Cup swee swee and gentlemen wan. Of course we want Singapore to be able to win without the foreign players. Of course we also want Liverpool to always win their matches swee swee instead of depending on luck ........ But like the saying goes loh, a win is a win. No fish prawn also good lah.
