Two events in recent days prompted me to jot this note - the Singapore Cup and Tampines Rovers failed to qualify for the AFC Cup.
The premier knockout tournament will see the nine teams from the Singapore Premier League (SPL) split into two groups with 5 teams in Group A and the rest in Group B.
In the meantime, Tampines Rovers found themselves being denied a spot in the continental tournament which they would easily qualify to the knock-out stages in the past when they were beaten 3-2 by Phnom Penh Crown of Cambodia in the qualifying play-off.
Ironically, Phnom Penh Crown was one of the many regional invitees in the past to play in the Singapore Cup competition.
The above-mentioned tournament, at one point, was dubbed as the "Asean Friendship Invitational" because of the participation of club sides from the neighbouring countries.
Back in 2017, I blogged ( https://www.bolasepako.com/2017/05/how-singapore-cup-served-as-platform.html ) "ππ°πΈ ππͺπ―π¨π’π±π°π³π¦ ππΆπ± π£π¦π―π¦π§πͺπ΅π΅π¦π₯ ππ΄π¦π’π― π€ππΆπ£π΄ π―π°π΅ ππͺπ―π¨π’π±π°π³π¦'π΄"..
After all, past regional participatants of Singapore Cup like Ceres Negros of the Philippines and Kitchee of Hong Kong went on to perform well in continental tournaments.
While at that point, Cambodian sides like Phnom Penh Crown had yet to muster up to pose a threat to challenge for the Singapore Cup, things seems to have change in recent years.
The came from behind victory by the Red Singha over the Stags days ago at Jalan Besar Stadium had further cemented the fact things had changed.
Something, we, Singapore fans, are numb to it already.

The update also included match pictures from Singapore Premier League matches featuring Balestier Khalsa, Albirex Niigata (Singapore), etc.

BOOK REVIEW - TRAILBLAZING CURRIE OPENED DOORS TO ASIA FOR ZICO, RONALDO
The name Derek Currie may not ring a bell instantly among Singapore football fans.
However, it was the trailblazing move of him with two other fellow Scots to Hong Kong in 1970 that eventually opened the doors to see many European footballers plying their trades in Asia.
Who would imagine luminaries like Zico playing in Japan and Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mane, etc. descended on Saudi Arabia after Currie, Jackie Trainer and Walter Gerrard landed in Hong Kong to begin their extraordinary journey?
That extraordinary journey was captured in Currie's autobiography - "When 'Jesus' Came to Hong Kong: The Remarkable Story of the First European Football Star in Asia"
