LKY seem to be doing well in Europe relative in Asia.

A country with 1.4 billion people and badminton being their top sport, I cannot imagine they don't have good young players. Most times, it is like our soccer team, confined to a few inner circle with limited choices to pick. 

Maybe need a big stick to kick the arses before things get to move. Replace the mangers like EPL team and you will see results. haha Side track a bit, Singapore with this Japanese coach instead of the regular european or english coaches seem to work better. Maybe a Thai or Vietnamese would work even better.

Of course, when FAS is run by people who are not interested or actually know about soccer, how to improve? Look at swimming and water polo.

Well done Loh. But Viktor looks very offform too.

But the scoreline is almost a thrashing , to be polite.

Great, but I honestly not expect too much. I used to be sportsman, or maybe due to my character. I just think sports is for friendship and not about expectation on winning. Thus I did not perform or no talent😂

many players withdraw from this tournament, Viktor also shagged from all the previous tournaments where he won most of them. Nevertheless there are still a few good ones. 

 LKY have Viktor to thank for his tremendous improvement since olympics where he was invited to train with Viktor for a month, training with the best make a lot of different. Great sportsmanship there!

It doesn't matter many had withdrawn because LKY still beaten the world No 1

"The Thai, who is the tournament's 16th seed, had simply no answer to the unseeded Loh's smashes as the Singaporean would take the first game easily."

Loh unseeded in this tournament? 🤣
