Speaking on the sidelines of a Courts Young Lions training session at Jalan Besar Stadium yesterday, National Coach Bernd Strange finally gave his view on the SEA Games debacle, which saw the Singapore football team crashing out in an early group stage match in June this year.

Congratulations to LionsXII for their wonderful win but I wonder why wasn't this important game shown "Live" on Free-To-Air TV? Of course it was shown LIVE on Starhub but why only Starhub? Was it because it's a foregone conclusion that our Singapore Lions will not make it? Was it because it make no monetary sense to show Our Local Players playing without foreign imports?

I am so proud of our LionsXII team for clinching the Malaysia FA Cup after their thrashing of the much fancied Kelantan side. The win is more sweet because LionsXII achieved this victory with all homegrown true blue Singaporeans. They did not rely on expensive foreign imports and this win is more meaningful to most Singaporeans.

Going against the odds, Singapore’s LionsXII went on to clinch the Malaysia FA Cup after a 3-1 win over Kelantan at the Bukit Jalil Stadium in Kuala Lumpur on Saturday night.

Defender Afiq Yunos scored a stoppage-time goal to secure a precious 2-1 away win for the LionsXII against bogey team Angkatan Tentera Malaysia (ATM) in a Malaysian Super League clash tonight. The goal was the defender’s first of the season and helped Fandi Ahmad’s side to record their second win of the season. It was also the perfect ending to an impressive comeback by the LionsXII

The LionsXII were held to a 0-0 draw at home by Terengganu today (Feb 8), a result that did their hopes of retaining the Malaysian Super League (MSL) title no favours. The Singaporean side has now won just one of their opening four fixtures, and lie sixth in the league with five points, one ahead of big-spending rivals Johor Darul Takzim.

But two goals in four minutes after the break turned the tie completely on its head, as Khairul Amri’s second goal in as many games and Hafiz Sujad’s tap-in earned the visitors a deserved draw at the Tan Sri Dato' Hj Hassan Yunos Stadium on Tuesday evening. With a young team whose average age is only 22.5 years, a new coach in Fandi Ahmad

The LionsXII earned a 2-1 win over Selangor FA in an exciting encounter at the Jalan Besar Stadium on Saturday night, thanks to Khairul Amri's header in the dying seconds. Selangor initially had the better start, with Shakir earning a caution as early as the third minute after failing to stop Juninho from marauding into the box. Dangerman Paulo Rangel then fluffed his shot wide from outside the box, with goalkeeper Izwan Mahbud looking stranded. However, the LionsXII soon grew into the match and created chances of their own.

The LionsXII ended their pre-season tour of Yogyakarta in Indonesia with a 1-0 victory over PSS Sleman at the Maguwoharjo Stadium today (Jan 10). Khairul Amri scored in the 45th minute to give the LionsXII their second win in three games – after a 2-1 victory over PPSM Magelang on Tuesday and a 0-3 defeat to Persis Solo last Saturday. Head Coach Fandi Ahmad said: “It has been a good tour – with three good matches that provided our players, especially the young ones such as Emmeric Ong, Ignatius Ang and Syafiq Zainal, a feel of the intensity of matches in front of big and vocal crowds.
