Tonight there will be a match between Indonesia and Australia, so i try to search some link to the match on the internet,
i found this site.

i hope for a good match with the good result for Indonesia of course 
Tonight (in Indonesia’s time zone) will be held the semifinal of AFF Cup 2008 between Indonesia and Thailand. This match will held in Gelora Bung Karno Indonesia as the first leg match. And the second leg will be held in Thailand at Rajamangala Stadium. Now I will write a short review about both teams.
Indonesia, with the morale down after lose to Singapore by two goals need some morale improvement from the coach. And I just checked Goal.com and this is what Indonesian coach said,
“We are playing at home and must perform our best to go for a win. This is our commitment to our fans,” Benny commented. “Our strikers have to make full use of their chances.”
I didn’t saw some morale improvement comment there, Benny Dollo have only just give more pressure to the striker which is not what Indonesia team need now.
In the same website I found what Reid (Thailand Coach) comment about upcoming match.
“Indonesia has the quality and very good pace upfront. They were quick during attacks and their striker, Bambang, is dangerous.”
Reid added that with the massive home support, it would be a difficult game. “The Indonesian crowds have been fantastic. It will be a big game atmosphere. As a player I used to enjoy the big games and I am sure my players will too. That’s football is all about. But in these games, it’s important not to panic.”
He explained that his players would have to keep their concentration and remain positive throughout. “They have a job to do. My philosophy has always been ‘you attack as a team and you defend as a team’ and that’s what we will set out to do tomorrow.”
The English coach also said that while tomorrow’s match would end after 90 minutes, there was still one more game to go to decide which team will advance to the final. “This game is only half time. Still, we’ve come here looking for a win and I hope to retain our record of not conceding any goals.”
What you’d said about his comment? I would said careful of other teams strength point but confident to win.
For the squad, Indonesia has great striking force on budi sudarsono, Bambang and Firman in the second line. But the defense is really vulnerable to set pieces situation. On the other hand, Thailand has great ability on defense and attack. For quick rating,
Indonesia : Attack:7, Midfield:8 Defense:6.5; and
Thailand : Attack:8 Midfield: 8 Defense:9
If you see my rating here the winner is clear enough, but this is football. Anything could happened.
Anyway, If you wanted to watch it online, I found some good site. Maybe you should download some software.

Not so good result for Indonesia lost 2-0 from Singapore even when playing at home side is quite unacceptable. But by seeing Indonesian team’s play, it just really stupid strategy there. Using both flank attack and relying on crossing direct to the strikers from both sides is quite idiot considering the height of Indonesian strikers. Do you ask me why I called that strategy as idiot one? Bambang is only 171 meters and Budi is 174 Meter. Compare them with Singapore defenders like Baihakki Khaizan (190) or Daniel Bennett (184). See? That’s idiot. Using attacking trough the middle is far more make sense because Indonesia had really good long shoot executor like Firman Utina or Ponaryo. But the real disaster was the least concentrated defender while defending against set-pieces situation such as freekicks. Just see the video, without those two freekicks, the score would be more likely as a draw.
Good news for Indonesian, Indonesia beat Cambodia by 4 goals. A hattrick by Budi Sudarsono and one goal by Bambang Pamungkas. By this win Indonesia qualified to the next stage. And the opponent would be Thailand or Vietnam. Depend on the last match facing Singapore. Good Job Red-White !!
i’m way too excited i guess, haha
these some video on youtube about Indonesia wins over Myanmar
the crowd:
and the Indonesia’s National anthem:
I’m very happy with Indonesia’s win over Myanmar, just proper pay back for two losts on the Royal Challenge Tournament (both score were 1-2).
This is the statistics:
Indonesia 3 - 0 Myanmar
Budi Sudarsono 26′,
Firman Utina 29′,
Bambang Pamungkas 65′

Talking about soccer, I always miss the excitement of Asian Cup 2007 in Jakarta. At that time, I saw all Indonesia’s match in SUGBK (Stadion Utama Gelora Bung Karno), I really like the one when we beat Bahrain by 2-1. I also love Elie Aiboy’s goal against Saudi Arabia. Unfortunately, for this AFF 2008, I couldn’t go there. I hope some Korean TV will broadcast this tournament 
.
I hope we will get better result than in Asian Cup 2007. Fighting!!
