The Heck Is: The Singapore Premier League?
Around this time of the year, Singapore’s only professional football league, the Singapore Premier League (SPL) would usually be well underway. However, with the Covid-19 pandemic worsening on our shores in recent weeks, the league has since been suspended and we thought we might just go through what this competition is, was, and what could have been. Singapore is well-known for being a country of football-loving fans. Ask anyone on the streets and the odds of that person having watched or played the beautiful game in some capacity are pretty high. But unfortunately, most locals’ passion for football have been…

We will never have another like Khairul Amri
It was a moment that I will never forget. Singapore football has had its fair share of glorious moments over the years, but that was the first one I witnessed live with my own eyes albeit through live television. As a young boy not even into his teens, I remember sitting on the sofa watching intently as the second leg of the 2007 ASEAN Football Federation (AFF) Championship final played out in Bangkok. The match was finely poised, with the aggregate score at 2-2 after Thailand had levelled the match through a 50th-minute strike from Pipat Thonkanya. With extra-time looming,…

ICC 2019 Match Report: Tottenham Hotspur’s Kane’s injury-time stunner caps off a thriller at the National Stadium
For a moment, it seemed as though time had stopped. All eyes were firmly etched on the increasing trajectory of the ball, and there was a growing sense of anticipation that something, just something might happen. Stupendously, a bulge of the net later, it did happen, cue contrasting emotions of disbelief, despair, and delirium all around the stands. Just like that, without even a whisker of warning, Harry Kane of Tottenham Hotspur scored one of the greatest goals in the history of the National Stadium in the 93rd minute to hand the English side a dramatic 3-2 win against Italian…

ICC 2019 Match Report: Boo boys mar Man Utd win in front of record National Stadium crowd
A record-crowd of 52,897, made up of largely Manchester United supporters, witnessed the Red Devils edge Inter Milan 1-0 at the National Stadium in the International Champions Cup last Saturday night. While the sea of red that engulfed the stands and the noise levels that emanated throughout the stadium were worth marvelling at, the boos directed at Man Utd captain Ashley Young were certainly not. Young, 34, was one of 10 substitutes brought on by manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the 63rd minute, but his introduction was met with an appalling chorus of boos when his name was read out…

ICC 2019 Game and Player Analysis: Juventus
The club’s new manager, Maurizio Sarri, will be keen to start his spell at Juventus with the right tone by getting acquainted with his players during pre-season – both off and on the pitch. Juventus’ first visit to Singapore since 2014 will present an excellent warm-up for Sarri before he heads home to Italy for his real baptism of fire with the Old Lady. 2018/2019 Season Summary Death, taxes, and Juventus clinching the Serie A. The only constant may be change, but Juventus looks primed to challenge this adage. They extended their Scudetto winning streak to an unprecedented eight years…

ICC 2019 Game and Player Analysis: Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur will face the reigning champions from Italy, Juventus FC, for their ICC friendly match in Singapore. Loyal Spurs supporters will know that it has been decades since they last stepped foot here in Singapore. Their last visit was in 1995 when they played a friendly game against our national team. Think about it: the last time Spurs visited Singapore in 1995, Blackburn Rovers were the champions in the Premier League, Michael Jordan came out of retirement from the National Basketball Association (NBA), the first Toy Story movie was released, Goh Chok Tong was Prime Minister of Singapore, and…
