Very few of us, even the most optimistic among us, would have expected Malaysia to have scored even one goal, let alone two, against Man Utd. I have to admit that as a long-standing skeptic of Malaysian football, I can't remember seeing Malaysia play with as much commitment and passion as it did over weekend against United.
Granted, Malaysia's best moments were in the second half when United's B team showed up. Still, most of us can remember the time when Alex Ferguson would send in his third team and Malaysia would still get a trouncing.
But I suppose we'll get a much better picture of the state of Malaysian football when the two teams play each other again. And this time around, United will have a better idea of what to expect and may make the appropriate tactical changes which will make our boys work a little harder. But if they can deliver a performance similar to their showing over the weekend, there just be might be some hope after all for Malaysian football.
