323 days to ORDSoccer jerseys. Whenever you spot people wearing them, mostly likely, it will be in Man Utd or England's colours. People wear them as a show of support. But you don't i see people wearing Singapore jerseys on the streets.Why is this so? Don't we support Singapore? Look at Korea and Japan. Everytime they play at home, the stadiums will always be clad in pink and blue respectively, and no, this started way before they did asia proud at the last world cup. Such is the love and support for their national team that even if they got trashed, the public never turn their backs on them. But the same cannot be said here. When Singapore was trashed 4-0 by Malaysia at Kallang a few years ago, there was a public outroar. The Lions was the shame of the century, attendances for future games was at a all time low. Nobody wanted to be associated with the Lions then. Nobody, except for a few, supported them, at a time where that's what the Lions need most.Even when they won the Tiger Cup, the support was, to be truthful, not that great. Yes, nobody expected them to win, but to me, I think no one cared. The English Premier League was the order of the day. People was wishing the Chelski will be a flop, and that Man Utd will rule again. The Lions? Who cares...You will start defending yourself, saying that will are really a die-hard Lions fan. But, let me ask you, who wore no.4 at the last Tiger Cup? How many goals did they scored in total?So buck up. In order for Singapore to furfill the goal 2010 dream, you must start supporting them now. So what are you waiting for. Go grab a Lions jersey now! It only costs 50+ bucks. Half the price of a England jersey!
