GOOD

1. For the first time in Malaysia football history, Sports Minister Dato’ Shabery Chik coming down to the stadium to be part of FA Cup Final 2009 fans.

2. National Stadium Bukti Jalil full house! The last time we have full attendance in this stadium is when Malaysia vs Indonesia.

3. Credits goes to security (Police, FRU and etc.) who taking a good care of the spectators.

4. We have talented youngster from Selangor and Kelantan.

• Selangor player, Fitri Shazwan Raduwan bringing new dimension to Selangor strike force after coming in replacing Rudie Ramli. He have a good left leg and accurate passing and the best thing he able to get rid of his nervous playing in the final with good ball control.

• Kelantan youngster, Zamri Ramli who played as the right back is really talented guy. No teams in Malaysia League dare to put youngster as the defender except for Peter Butler. Credit goes to him. He keeping C. Premnath and Rudie Ramli quiet in the entire game. K. Rajagopal should look at him for Malaysia under 23 squad.

5. After reaching 30 years old, this it the first medal for national midfielder Hardi Jaafar.

6. Both teams have a good skipper. Amri Yahyah having his best performance in 2009. He should be in national squad. Amazing diving header from him in FA Cup semi final and final match. And good work rate from Kelantanese Badri Radhzi and his nice hair style is as good as his performance on the field. :)

7. Kelantan will fly to Old Trafford for making into FA Cup Final. Good motivation for them. While each Selangor players will get at least RM15k from the state government. Spend wisely.

BAD

1. Malaysian players lack of stamina and mental strength. Local newspaper reported none of Kelantan player willing to become the first penalty kick when asked by coach Peter Butler. Khalid Jamlus said he was too tired to take penalty kick after playing 120 minutes which is understandable. But Che Hishamuddin who coming in as substitutes middle of the match also has the same excuse? None of Selangor players willing to become first penalty taker when asked by coach K. Devan except from Khairul Anuar Baharom. Good example led by the experience center back.

By winning FA Cup 2009, Selangor have automatic qualification for 2010 AFC Cup. It’s an honour and let’s hopes Selangor will participate in the AFC Cup. Don’t chicken out like what Negeri Sembilan did in 2009. Its definitely bring a good exposure for our local players.
