Korea vs Malaysia

Korea 2-0, won over Greece, the Euro 2004 champion.

This is not a joke, they really played well, not depended on luck like what people thought during the World Cup when they co-hosted the competition 2002.

They might not be the champ yet but they really improve.

The Korean team always reminds us the Merdeka Cup during 70's, when Malaysia team was still "on par"with Korea and always met in the final.

That was a big thing for Malaysian during that time, all people will look for friends, neighbour, coffee shop, etc whoever has black & white TV to watch the final between Malaysia vs Korea.

Sometimes Korea won, sometimes Malaysia won. But we were proud that time.

But now, when Korea team eyes for the World Cup, Malaysia team still talking about Merdeka Cup, satisfy and happy to be the champion by inviting those lower rank teams to participate.

And the joke is we still talking about those star during 70s like Mokhtar Dahari, Soh Chin Ann, Santokh Singh, etc.

Like we never play football for the last 30 years.
