Team Singapore @ SEA Games

As the newspapers have reported, Team Singapore has done well in the ongoing South East Asian Games, performing beyond expectations in some sport. Here's my take on the team's performances.

The Usual Suspects:
Table Tennis and Water Polo swept their haul of gold medals as expected, given that their regional opponents weren't so big in these two sport. Nonetheless, their dominance is still quite a feat.

The Amazing Races:
Belong to who else but the swimming team! How amazing their races had been. You have split seconds finishes, record breaking swims, narrow misses, and one-two wins, all resulting in an impressive tally of eleven gold medals. Besides swimming, we even have one gold from triathlon.

The Total Crap:
Once again, the football team disappoints the nation. One question to the team, "Do you know the meaning of playing simple but effective football?" What a bunch of imbeciles trying to show-off skills they don't have. They deserved to be beaten by Thailand and they might as well forget about the third place playoff with Vietnam if they continue to play as they did just now. One suggestion, "If you can't play, get off the pitch!"
