Flat

S-League has been a little flat of late.

SAFFC no longer seem capable of replicating their successes in the past few years, though they achieved history on the Asian level, defeating Henan Jianye for the first AFC Champions League win for any Singaporean team... which is of course the case since SAFFC has been the only Singaporean team in the competition (2nd time).

As for Singaporean national football, failure to qualify for the Asian Cup simply means there will be no excitement, no new excitement in the national football team. The only competition they will be looking forward to will be the ASEAN Football Championships, in whatever name that it is under this time round.

One opinion of concern is the lack of coverage given to Singapore sports. Even Singapore soccer, the most publicised sport in newspapers, can only be found on a regular basis on Today newspaper. The other sports are unlikely to be found most of the time. Except, of course, the constant off-field debate on athletics' problems.

Publicity needs to be given. Positive publicity, that is. And the performances need to match up.

The YOG publicity hasn't been raging that much (even more so for the World Cup, of course). More participation is required from Singaporeans in one way or another. It's the inaugural edition, and we need to grab the opportunity to make it a successful one, as a nation.

That's all, simply, for now.
