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 12 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.

A formidable S'pore team can only emerge when there is a national passion for football, apart from an excellent talent scouting and training infrastructure, with continuity from developmental stage to senior level. Apart from raising the standard of our coaching at the grassroots level, there must be continuity through the various age groups. This is sorely lacking, and was a major factor behind the break-up of the 2010 Youth Olympic Games squad that defied all odds to finish third.

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 Malay population in S'pore is around 546,000, which represents about 13.5% of the total resident population. That is where our talent pool comes from since most of the Chinese and Indians are not interested in making football their career.

While youth development must be strongly encouraged, the shortage of talent may be mitigated through the recruitment of foreign-born players with S'porean lineage as well as foreigners who have come through the ranks at our local clubs and wish to take up citizenship. Far larger countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines and Thailand are doing this to strengthen their national teams.

I recall that the US women's national soccer team lost to the FC Dallas Under-15 boys team by 5-2 in a friendly game, which shows the vast gap in standard between women and men's soccer.

S'pore needs to break free from years of transition and perpetual underachievement to start fulfilling our potential through astute leadership. The FAS must change its approach by focusing on bringing in cultural change from the academy to senior level.

No, this is not a narrow defeat, nor is it bruising. This is downright embarrassing, humiliating and unacceptable. These women must be tied up and have their arses whipped, 50-shades style.

Sinkies only know how to let the FTs and Chenghu play their back side.

Shut down FAS and focus on netball.

S'pore does not have attractive female footballers like
South Korea's Casey Phair who has an American father.

USA striker Alex Morgan is one of the prettiest female footballers

Hahaha, I already knew this when I was 10 years old.

If FAS pays footballers in CDC vouchers, they would gladly represent the Lions?
