Haaaaaa! I finally can say that I have watched an English premiership team in live, not very up close and rather impersonal, but it was Chelsea FC vs Malaysia XI live, and I was in the flesh! All thanks to Heineken for sponsoring the tickets via the little contest I ran on this blog(results here).
Audrey, Ringo, Wenqi, and Yours Truly
Well, we reached the stadium just as the game gets started. The atmosphere outside the stadium itself was already very exciting, with loud cheering sound coming from within the huge structure. We had a bit of a delay (an entire half actually) as some of us had to collect tickets from the super patient yee hou who was running around outside the stadium. It took that long mainly thanks to the total collapse of Maxis’ network under the huge load. SMS took over 15-20 minutes to get through, and I had zero luck trying to put a call through after trying for at least 50 times!
Michael Yip was wearing an MU jersey hmph!
But the important thing was we got in eventually. The stadium was pretty packed at the section we were in, sea of blue with almost no one wearing a Malaysian jersey. I put on my one and only national football jersey albeit from a different country (but hey, Vietnam is in ASEAN as well, so..)
The game itself was pretty interesting, and we certainly enjoyed ourselves. Our boys did pretty decent (losing 0-2) and fared better than the other two teams that went up against Chelsea in their Asia Tour. The Star did a much better review of the game which I’m not going to repeat.
Eri, Kenny, Audrey, Cindy, Ringo, Tim, Wenqi, KY, Icq
After the game we proceed to have a post-game gossip at McD in Subang. However, most of the gossips did not revolve around football at all. It was already past midnight when we called it a night.

Just because you were wearing the Vietnam jersey didn’t mean you also had to cheer for Vietnam! Was all too confusing!
I guess my cousin Tanya might also go for Vietnam [seems as she is Vietnamese], but then again, she’s pretty much Aussie Aussie Aussie through and through.
I’ve seen plenty of EPL sides play. I think best memory was watching Gordon Banks [then English Goalkeeper] playing for Stoke City against Western Australia State side. I think the score was 2-0 that day as well.
Must be a mandatory score line when they play outside their own country. Then again, I seem to remember some of the EPL did draw 0-0 against WA.
