I sat at the edge of the sofa, heart in my mouth... not daring to move a muscle...
I was so scared.
But Lionel Lewis caught Malaysia's ball.
We had won! We had beat Malaysia! We were going through into the finals!
But do you know what I was really really really happy about?
Seeing how Singaporeans had packed the national stadium, converting the stands into a sea of a fiery red, out looking for blood.
Seeing the Kallang Wave back again, hearing the cheers, the jeers (for Malaysia, lol)
Singaporeans are supporting their national team again.
And I hope, they'll always continue doing that.
Because, you dun have to be a soccer lover (or of any sports for that matter) to support your national team... if you as a Singaporean wun support your national sportsmen, who will?
You dun support them just coz they're doing well and winning... you support them, period.
Get it?
