Champions Youth Cup 2007

VVIP..dn play play ah!XD

It's so rare that our nation and even our tiny city gets to host such footie tournaments that no doubt will draw us "sakais" to go watch. Even though I dont play football and i hardly watch it on tv..this is an exception..coz its like once in a blue moon.This tournament involves most of the under-19 squads from great clubs all around the world..and the Group D stage was held at our very own Sarawak stadium and tickets are priced rm12 per person..cheap eh?its so worth it because u get to watch 2 matches per ticket and you're ensured quality football entertainment. I dont know all the clubs who are participating in this tournament but the teams are spread out to the all the major towns in Malaysia and the teams who are in Group D are Malaysia, Bayern Munich, Chelsea FC and PSV Eindhoven. I was really hoping Liverpool FC would be in the tournament..damn!=( And even though its the under-19 squads,they are definitely future stars in the making..they play quality football..quite similar to what u get on tv but to actually watch them live at the stadium..its a whole different experience. Oyeaa..during half-time there would be a lucky draw contest based on the numbers on each ticket..and the prizes aren't jerseys ,goodie bags or what most of us would expect..some lucky guy won an all expense trip to watch Chelsea play in the UK@@ nahh..it did'nt stay that way

yeaa..the stadium was rather empty..it isnt the world cup after all and consider our city's population..

The guys at the stadium..omg Adrian..ure so sexay!XD

the Chelsea squad

I really pity the foreign players sometimes...especially when their opponent is Malaysia..as the home crowd would just boo them endlessly..i bet they would be thinking "and i thought we were playing the apes">< nonetheless there were also civilized audiences that would just sit back and enjoy the match...*cough cough* Im beginning to wonder if they''ll ever play here again..considering the response they're receiving..they most probably have bad impressions on us by now..but I hope there would be similar tournaments in the years to come and that the senior teams would come down next time. So far in the tournament,PSV and Bayern are through to the second round..and even though Malaysia did'nt qualify..they played pretty well..better than i expected..they even managed to hold on a 0-0 draw against Chelsea...
