• EAGLES BEAT TIGERS 2-1 IN RARE FRIENDLY FIXTURE⠀
⠀
@gifcsg beat @balestierkhalsa.fc 2-1 in a friendly game played at @ourtampineshub.⠀
⠀
Due to the ongoing Covid19 pandemic, sparring games like this is a rarity these days as this was the first match for both sides to play against external opponents in their preparation for the upcoming AIA @sgpremierleague season.⠀
⠀
Chris Van Huizen's well executed free kick and followed by a close range effort from Zikos Chua gave Eagles a two-nil lead before interval.⠀
⠀
Joshua De Souza reduced the deficit for the Tigers after the break.⠀
⠀
"It was a good run out to get some match fitness," said Eagles' head coach Noor Ali after the match.⠀
⠀
"It is also important for us to have competitive games like this by playing opponents who are at the same level." added the former Singapore international.⠀
⠀
When enquired what are the difficulties he will be facing when both Brazilian Matheus Moresche and Dutchman Sylvano Comvalius joining the squad after completed their mandatory quarantine in days to come.⠀
⠀
"I think the lack of match fitness for these two new foreign signings (i.e.: Moresche and Comvalius) would be my main concern on top of having them gelling up quickly with the rest of the team." opined 46-year-old tactician who will be leading Eagles to their first AFC Cup tournament since 2010.⠀
⠀
For Balestier's coach Marko Kraljević, there will be some improvements to work on for his team after this match.⠀
⠀
"I thought we started well in the game but gradually we struggled to handle Geylang who penetrated well on left," said the 51-year-old coach. ⠀
⠀
"It was a better performance in the second half after we made several changes to our lineup but there are rooms for improvement that we need to work on." concluded Coach Kraljević.⠀

  • MERCHANDISING - DARE OR DARE NOT⠀
⠀
The polls conducted may not reflect the real picture given the niche participation but it's really up to the @SGPremierLeague clubs and @FASingapore to see if they are brave to venture into it.⠀
⠀
After all, merchandising is a huge untapped market in local football fraternity and not sure if it is the lack of confidence that stopped clubs from dive into it?⠀

  • REFRESH ON "STRATEGIC PLAN" OF 2010⠀
⠀
Looks like a sizable group don't seems to remember this "Strategic Plan" launched in 2010 to place Singapore among the top of Asian footballing nations.⠀
⠀
Ironically, this blueprint was launched in the year we supposed to see us playing in South Africa that year.⠀
⠀
This plan was endorsed by luminaries like Sepp Blatter and Mohammed bin Hammam.⠀

I would say the marketing was much better in the old days as compared to recent years, just take a look at the slogan in red fonts in the middle on one of these 1996 S.League fixtures cards.⠀
