All good things come to an end

Me at the Grand Old Dame again. A clean slate at 0-0. Setting sun at the stadium. Flag wavers during the singing of the National Anthem.

My winning streak at the National Stadium finally came to an end. I haven't witnessed a loss there since the "Kallang Massacre". The match started promisingly with Singapore having the first chance after a through ball put Duric clear on goal with only the keeper to beat but he chose to dribble to the flank thus ending that attack when he lost the ball. Uzbekistan then struck the first blow with a soft goal conceded by Singapore. There was a brief respite as Singapore came from behind twice to level the score... the Lions showed some fight but after conceding the third goal, another weak goal, it was curtains for Singapore. I left promptly when Uzbekistan scored their 7th uncontested goal.
It was schoolboy defending throughout the game... almost like Reading playing Manchester United... such was the gulf in skill. I felt that Raddy should have taken Lionel Lewis off at half-time and put in the reserve keeper to give him some valuable experience. There goes our hopes of qualifying for the fourth round of World Cup qualifying.
