Malaysia Cup 2009...

...it has Started?

Yes. The 2009 Malaysia Cup competition has begun.

Unfortunately, there was no sign of the oldest competition in Asia is taking place. Perhaps it is due to many of us are still in 'Hari Raya' mode and not that  many people are in the mood to sit their bums on the hard concrete/plastic seats at the stadiums, cheering their team.

But the thing is not many Malaysians really care about local football anymore.

mad redo1 is maybe one of those small percent who still go to watch his local team, Terengganu in action whenever he can. But it is sad when most of the time matches are played in front of just a few hundred fans, unless the team is really doing well and make good progress.

For Terengganu, the win in Kuching against the financially strapped Sarawak is a good start but is at what cost. There are a number of injuries to a number of key players that could affect the ability of The Turtles to do well in the competition. Adding to that is the suspension to a few more and fans could be looking at a depleted Terengganu side tonight.

Tonight the Turtles will entertain Johor in the first of three consecutive home matches from which they need to collect maximum points to ensure smooth passage to the knock-out phase.

C'mon Turtles!
