ask yourself this: Where does a young boy who wants to play organised football go? Is there an organised, out of school competition for under 10's? under 12's? under 14's? I dunno if there is or not, but it certainly is not well known....
If this young boy does find such a competition, he is one of only very few playing at such an age... so from a pool of very few (say a few hundred players at under 10 age group) can we expect Singapore to develop a strong national team? not really... some more when the kid gets a bit older he will be under pressure to study from his family, school and teachers, so he trains less or stops totally, then reach NS age and older, dun play ever again, get fat and complain about how poor the national team is these days... :devil:
just kidding on the last bit
