i wonder, with the likes of lebanon and pakistan which is way below singapore has players playing in the europe. lebanon having roda antar and another fella both with fc koln, and pakistan having zesh rehman at QPR. howwww???

Singapore didn't played a single international games but yet they moved up 7 spots to 127

Brunei should be in the top 20.

Eh... Roda Antar is no longer with FC Koln. He has move to Chinese Champions Shandong Luneng in March this year.

hahaha... true true...

yups true... but thing is... you nk harapkan FAS blaja dan buat ni sumer? you boleh mimpi! hahaha.... what i meant to say, FAS knows all these, but you think they want to do all these? cant blame them wholly, due to tight schedule and all, but confirm got some empty days like a week of no local league matches or something. then can organise.... so far u23 has been given much exposure, but has national squad been in training together and stuff, considering AFC cup is in the most 2 months time?
