Balestier Khalsa had to settle for a point after they failed to find the back of the net against the Courts Young Lions (CYL). The Tigers were the slight favourites heading into the game, having held a couple of big guns – Etoile and Home United – to gritty draws in their last two games. […]

Home United recorded a 3-0 victory in their first game at the Bishan Stadium since 2008. The title favourites put out an improved performance compared to their frustrating 1-1 draw with Balestier Khalsa last week, but were still not entirely convincing. Two of the three goals were scored from the penalty spot, and both came […]

Just three days after Balestier held Home United to 1-1 draw at Toa Payoh with a fluid 4-1-4-1 set-up, another S.League title contender – Tampines Rovers – was frustrated by a similar set-up at Gombak United. But while Home dominated possession and Balestier needed a super performance from Paul Cunningham in defence, Tampines struggled to […]

Balestier Khalsa pulled off the first real upset of the 2011 S.League season when they held Home United – tipped by punters and fans to be the champions this year – to a 1-1 draw at the Toa Payoh Stadium. While Home had most of the possession and looked enthusiastic to get the ball in […]

The S.League Charity Shield 2011 was intriguing because of two reasons. First, it was the first ever game on Singapore soil (well astroturf, actually) for the new-look defending league champions Etoile, comprised of almost entirely different players from the ones that lifted the trophy last November. Second, it was the competitive debut of Tampines’ new […]

This game between Albirex Niigata and Hougang United might have been seen as just another pre-season friendly. Only it wasn’t. It was a matchup between two teams with arguably the best attacks in warmup matches for the 2011 S.League season. Albirex have impressed with their incisive play, hitting bucketloads of goals against the NFA U18 […]

This entry might be a little dated, but what the heck. On Monday evening, the Singapore Olympic Team hosted their Malaysian counterparts in a friendly at Jalan Besar, and lost 2-0. Despite having two “100 per cent” chances – as their coach Raddy Avramovic said after the game – in the opening 15 minutes, Singapore […]

On paper, this looks like a bad defeat for Gombak. Of course, getting beaten by three clear goals at home is never a good thing, but as it sometimes is in pre-season, the result was not a fair reflection of what in essence was an even game for two teams with fairly settled squads. Gombak […]

More than 40 members of the media converged upon FAS’s office at Tyrwhitt Rd on Wednesday for a press conference. FORTY. And they didn’t even know what they were even there for. All they knew was that FAS president Zainudin Nordin, the sec-gen Winston Lee and Lions coach Raddy Avramovic would be there. Contrast this to […]

I actually arrived almost half an hour late for this game, and by then the scores were already 1-1. Despite missing two goals, I did catch the winner – a stunning 25-meter shot by one of the Johor FC midfielders – just before half-time. And despite not seeing any other goals in the second half, […]
