Our Cubs Rock!

Football is a funny game and Singaporeans are funny supporters. Having beaten Zimbabwe in their opening match, fans began to ravage the YOG ticket website and stream into Jalan Besar Stadium on the back of the impressive victory.

Yakki and I, being the ardent Lions fans, got our tickets (preliminaries, semis, finals) way before the euphoria began. Self pat on the back.

All would have known by now that we defeated the Montenegrins 3-2 with goals from Muhaimin Suhaimin, Jeffrey Lightfoot and Brandon Koh. A great display by and of our multicultural setup in Singapore.

Minutes before kickoff, we were off to a beautiful start on a breezy Thursday evening when we spotted a fan outside the Jalan Besar Stadium.

No need for more description. See pictures for thousands of words.

Anyway, the press always covers a match in great detail when we're doing well. So needless for us to say more when you can them on the official papers and websites.
