Rally icon Ken Block has teamed up with Barcelona FC and Brazilian national football-squad star, Neymar Jr, to create the Footkhana film. Based on the popular Gymkhana videos that were pioneered by Block, Neymar Jr's skills and focus are put to the test as Block guides his Ford Fiesta rally car around the footballer in a series of sideways manoeuvres and tyre smoke. Meanwhile, Block matches the Brazilian star's precision by saving and scoring a number of goals with his Fiesta. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdBXpORSGu0 Freestyle footballers Andrew Henderson, Sean Garnier and Lassi Hurskainen also teamed up with the pairing to demonstrate their skills under the guidance of double FIFA World Cup winner, Cafu. "It has been amazing to work with Ken Block and the other freestylers," said Neymar Jr. "I can’t wait for football fans to see our freestyle tricks in action as we go head-to-head against Ken and his car. Block was equally as enthusiastic about the outing and commented: "I know my fans are going to enjoy this Footkhana film since it's a spin on my Gymkhana series, integrating some of the best freestyle football players in the world.”

STOMPer Boleh sent in a video which shows Malaysian fans attacking Singaporean fans at Horne Road before a football match on June 8. Another STOMPer, Kane, feels that the Malaysian fans should behave themselves when they are in Singapore. A New Paper report (June 8) had stated that a fight had occurred two hours before the match between fans from both sides. It was stated that the fight had started because a Singaporean fan had hurled vulgarities at the Malaysian fans. A Singaporean was later arrested by local police for disorderly behaviour with regards to the incident. In a follow-up New Paper report from June 10, local fan Sulastre Hamzah, who attended Friday

New heroes of the Philippines Over 5,000 Filipinos pack Jalan Besar to cheer on football team It may have been an 'away'friendly for the Philippines, but their fans turned out in force (above) to give the match a home feel for the visiting side. The small contingent of Singapore fans had to sing extra loud to make their voices heard. -- ST PHOTOS: DESMOND WEE By Lee Min Kok ONE would hardly have known that the Lions were the home team last night, given the overwhelming support that their opponents received from the Jalan Besar stands. Singapore's international friendly against the Philippines - the Lions' final tune-up before facing Jordan in a 2014 World Cup qualifier next Tuesday - was watched by a near-6,000 horde of Filipino fans. Save for a loyal band of around 150 Singaporean supporters, a blue tide engulfed the stadium as the Filipinos displayed unrivalled passion in cheering on their countrymen despite the 0-2 defeat. BACKGROUND STORY 'A lot of women are watching football now, just to ogle at the pretty faces on display.' Rosie Villaflor, an IT manager from the Philippines, on why her country's football team are currently the rage back home Even the drizzle throughout the game failed to dampen the spirits of the crowd, who came armed with umbrellas and more importantly, their cameras. The Azkals - as the Philippine national team are popularly called - have benefited from an influx of players holding dual citizenship, such as half-English brothers Phil and James Younghusband, Neil Etheridge and Dutchman Jason de Jong. And there was no mistaking who was the ladies' undisputed darling, as high-pitched screams of 'Neil, Neil, Neil' greeted the reserve goalkeeper for English Premier League football club Fulham as he stepped on to the pitch for his pre-match warm-up. 'He's so handsome!' gushed Mia Fe Carig, 24. The nurse was at Jalan Besar with 15 other female friends, all straining to catch a glimpse of the 21-year-old. IT manager Rosie Villaflor, 30, admitted as much: 'A lot of women are watching football now, just to ogle at the pretty faces on display.' Etheridge is said to have attained near-superstar status in his adopted country, with his face - and chiselled body - gracing everything from underwear ads to billboards promoting painkillers. Indeed, swooning female fans made up a large portion of the Filipino crowd, but there was a healthy pinch of guy power as well. Sales manager Jaron Genota flew in from Manila together with 20 fellow supporters yesterday, spending about 15,000 pesos (S$443) on the trip. Said the 28-year-old: 'Football in our country is enjoying a real buzz at the moment. It's not in the same league as basketball yet, but we're slowly getting there.' Interest in the sport, according to Genota, had picked up significantly after the Azkals created history by reaching the semi-finals of last December's AFF Suzuki Cup - which is the equivalent of the South-east Asian championship - in Vietnam. Filipino television networks, most of whom had largely ignored football, suddenly began to telecast live games from the German Bundesliga, English Premier League and Spanish Primera Liga this year, he said. And the fledgling United Football League - the country's professional competition - recently signed a historic TV deal with local agency AKTV Network, which will air the league's third season later this year. Midfielder James Younghusband paid tribute to the partisan support after the match, saying: 'It definitely felt like a home game for us. The fans here were fantastic.' ==== Everyone too busy/disinterested to support own national team? Why? And what's with the surname of "younghusband"?

I am watching the game now on tv. I see quite a lot of iraqi supporters..wonder if they actually flew down to support them or there are already quite a few of them working in singapore. Or are they locals??????????????????????????

Wow really have to be careful if you go to Malaysia stadiums to watch games there. Not a soccer fan so not sure if local fans behave like that to rival fans. Hope not.... From STOMP: Grow up lah: Childish Liverpool brutes humiliate guy for wearing Man U jersey A horde of Liverpool fans forced a young man to take off his Manchester United jersey when he went to Malaysia's National Stadium in Kuala Lumpur to watch Liverpool's training session during the team's Asian tour. A video of the incident, which happened on Jul 14, was posted on the Internet. It shows hundreds of Liverpool fans taunting the Manchester United fan, forcing him to remove his jersey and even tried to make him wear a Liverpool jersey. The young man refused and sat down topless. STOMPer Liver Fools, who saw the video, says he is disgusted by the behaviour of the Liverpool fans. He said: "To all Liverpool fans who think this is funny, let me just say that the behaviour of your so-called comrades is a disgrace to the beautiful game of football. "The Man U guy may be a moron for wearing the jersey to a Liverpool training session, but the Liverpool fans prove that they are nothing more than a bunch of barbaric, juvenile, low-class brutes. "Even with his stupidity, the Man U fan at least have the guts to confront hundreds of Liverpool fans wearing his Rooney jersey, which is more than I can say for the Liverpool ruffians who acted tough only because there are many of them. "Grow up, Liverpool fans! "I wonder if Liverpool fans in Singapore would behave the same way." Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has commended his fan for his courageous stunt. The football star's Twitter message read: "The lad who went to watch Liverpool train in mufc top with my name on the back is a legend." According to news report, the Manchester United fan had been showing off his jersey, kissing the Man U badges and shouting "champions" at the Liverpool fans.

The world cup qualifier is happening on 28 July in KL (the return leg). Who would be interested in leading or joining a convoy to the game?

An S-League match was embarrassingly abandoned on Monday night -- even before the game kicked off. The scheduled clash between Hougang United and league champions Etoile Football Club at the Hougang Stadium gave way to a brawl between 30 to 40 players during the pre-match warm-up. This is the first time in S-League's 16-year history that a match had to be called off due to disciplinary issues. Witnesses told The Straits Times that the melee was sparked by an Etoile player venturing into the side of the field where Hougang players were stretching. This was 15 minutes before the 7.30pm kick-off. A heated exchange ensued, which quickly turned ugly. "The entire Hougang team, around 20 of them, surrounded this guy and there was a lot of shouting and shoving," one fan, who was in his 30s, told the paper. "There were no punches thrown, but the Etoile player's bib was torn," he added. According to an official who declined to be named, Etoile players ran from their side of the pitch within 20 seconds to aid their team mate. The crowd of 300 then witnessed security and team officials quickly dashing onto the field to try to separate the jostling players. After discussions with referee Muhammad Taqi, match commissioner A. Raamasamy decided to call off the match for safety reasons. The altercation lasted two minutes, but the chaos boiled over off the pitch. Australian freelance journalist Paul Green, 62, said, "The Hougang players were chased by their Etoile counterparts, who jumped over advertising boards and barriers. They (Etoile) had to again be restrained by their team officials." An Etoile player, who wanted to remain anonymous, accused Hougang captain Shariff Abdul Samat of kicking Etoile reserve goalkeeper Hadama Bathily. It is understood that nobody required medical treatment or were taken to the hospital. Monday night's brawl brings back memories of the fight between Young Lions and Beijing Guoan players eight months ago, which resulted in lengthy bans and stiff fines for 16 players. Hougang and the French club have had a history of bad blood between them. In a fiery encounter in March, a verbal spat ensued after the final whistle, resulting in a shoving match that lasted about five minutes. Newly-elected MP for Hougang, Yaw Shin Leong, was present at the match in Hougang Stadium as the guest of honour. The Football Association of Singapore (FAS) issued a gag order for players and officials of both sides. There were about 100 fans outside the stadium who were denied entry, while those inside were advised to leave. Etoile players were jeered by fans who lingered outside the stadium as the team boarded the bus at around 8pm. FAS deputy director of competitions and marketing Ridzal Saat called the fracas a "very unfortunate incident". S-League chief executive Winston Lee said a full investigation would be launched and any party found guilty would be severely dealt with.

As above or is Zimbabwe team arrogant ???...... http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/S...ory_564709.html '5-0 Minimum' Confident Zimbabwe football team boast of thrashing Singapore in opener By Terrence Voon The Zimbabwean boys' football team being greeted by their chef de mission Busi Chindove (right) upon their arrival at the YOG village yesterday. -- PHOTO: SPH-SYOGOC/KEVIN LIM RIDING on the team bus with Zimbabwe's Youth Olympic Games football squad is like facing a pack of hungry reporters. The questions just keep coming. How tall are the players from the Singapore football team? How much do iPhones cost here? And is it true that chewing gum is banned in Singapore? For a good 40 minutes yesterday morning, the tables were turned on this reporter when he hitched a ride with the 15-year-olds from Changi Airport to the YOG Village at Nanyang Technological University (NTU). After a gruelling 11-hour flight from Johannesburg, the assumption was that most of the 18-member squad would be napping. At the very least, they should be bleary-eyed. Wrong on both counts. The boys simply could not sit still, clambering over seats and pressing their faces against the bus windows for a closer view of landmarks like the Singapore Flyer and the Marina Bay Sands integrated resort. Questions about local cuisine, the weather, shopping and the standard of Singapore football dominated discussions as the bus wound its way across the island. Later, it was revealed that this was the first time that any of them had been outside of their country. Just 24 hours ago, most of them had never even been on a plane. 'Your country is beautiful,' said captain and top scorer Ackim Mpofu, his eyes locked on the sea and greenery off East Coast Park. 'And there are so many trees on the road. I've never seen anything like this before.' These days, Zimbabwe - a landlocked country in southern Africa - is better known for its political and economic troubles than for its natural flora and fauna. Their football story is just as underwhelming. Up till 2004, the Warriors - as the national football team are known back home - had not qualified for the African Cup of Nations. The World Cup remains a distant dream and, just two weeks ago, the chief executive of their football association was suspended over match-fixing allegations. But despite their lack of pedigree, the Zimbabwean boys are not short on confidence. After confirming that the Singapore players - whom they will meet in Friday's opening match - were not physically bigger than themselves, the boasts came thick and fast. 'If they're the same size as us, then we've already won,' said striker Mncedisi Gumede. Added playmaker Lucky Ndlela: 'We're going to win 5-0 - minimum.' When informed that Singapore had beaten Tottenham Hotspur's youth side 3-2 in a friendly match, the boys were unimpressed. Never mind that they have trained together for only six months, or that the 39 goals they racked up during their five warm-up games came against youth squads in the country's domestic league. The Zimbabweans are here to win - though they do have more than just sports on their minds. Making new friends, checking out prices of branded sportswear and sampling local cuisine are on their YOG checklist. And, if they do end up winning the competition, a handsome reward is in store for the boys back home. 'I can't say what it will be, but we will reward our athletes if they do well,' said coach Dumaza Dube. 'The aim is for our footballers to gain experience and groom them for our future World Cup and Olympic squads.' Coming from a country with an unemployment rate of about 90 per cent, many of the boys are hoping the YOG will be their springboard for a lucrative future in professional football. 'We want to make Africa proud, especially after the bad World Cup for the African teams,' said midfielder Devylin Hencil. 'We're going to start by beating Singapore.'
