Believe it or not? Even established footballing nations like England have been represented by players born in Australia, Belgium, Canada, Jamaica, Nigeria, France, South Africa, Scotland, Wales and yes, even S'pore! Former England captain, Terry Butcher was born in the Lion City. FAS must scout for professional footballers overseas who qualify to represent the Lions. Under FIFA rules, a footballer may represent the country of one of his parents or grandparents without changing his citizenship. He is also eligible to play for a country if he has represented a club in their domestic league for at least 5 years.
 
No use one lah. The system is flawed and even with best talent, there's a limit in the development.

We have a list of ft turn Singkie to represent Singapore. But they are fuck.
 
Forget it. Don't even bother. Sinkie football is toast. The JLBs at FAS can't even send a proper team to compete in the just-concluded ASEAN U-23 tournament. What a fucking embarrassment.

The FAS must support youth development schemes where training has to be fun yet effective. Coaches should not be putting too much pressure on children below the age of twelve to win games. However, instructors cannot stand back and let them play their own way without instilling in them the basics. The fundamental development of skills such as trapping and controlling a ball, spreading their body when receiving it, the importance of awareness of their surroundings, how crucial their first touch must be etc. are all fundamentals at the grassroots level.
 
Finally FAS accepts that Sinkies are useless.
A relatively small population cannot be an excuse for our lack of talent. Some of the strongest teams in the world include Denmark with a population of 5.8 million, Uruguay with 3.4 million and Iceland which has only 337,780 inhabitants. A deep-seated passion for the game as well as an efficient system of identifying, developing and retaining young talent probably propelled these 3 nations to consistently compete at the highest level.
 
The real good ones are not stupid to become Sinkies.
While youth development must be strongly encouraged, the shortage of talent may be mitigated through the recruitment of foreign-born players with Singaporean lineage as well as foreigners who have come through the ranks at our local clubs and wish to take up citizenship.
 
Better to focus on table football starting at cc.555
Futsal was invented as a training tool in the gym to sharpen the quick passing technique that keeps the ball on the ground. Our budding footballers may develop a measure of skill, dribbling and short range ground passing through futsal that would be useful in competitive soccer. The best futsal players possess excellent control of the ball at their feet and have the stamina and endurance to play at a fast pace. As most of our footballers lack height, upper body strength and the ability to leap high, futsal can train them to make use of their lower center of gravity to hold off opponents and turn on the ball to shoot or pass.
 
Even for promising footballers of mixed ethnicity, if there is a choice they would do their best to not play for Sinkieland or most countries of the AFC, and play for the other country instead. :cool:

most of these fuckers have shredded their red passport, and reassumed old citizenship, or became citizens elsewhere
 
tiongcock is worse. it has the most xia xuay national football team after losing 0-6.9 to jippun. no coaching talent wishes to work for ccp and no playing talent wishes to live in fucked up tiongcock. at least sg is livable with no pubic security and surveillance cams spying on them and their families every freaking minute.

This is a communist regime.
That's not some free democratic nation.

I agree.
I hear say that the FAS fuckers just pay themselves much better then the footballers.
 
Team sports, they can copy and duplicates.
They can duplicate training, scouting, reverse engineering or mimicking, but they can't crack the software coding
