sportsmanship

was reading report on sg vs thai first leg.
the referee blew a penalty in favour of sg, resulting a 2-1 for the home team.
the thai team was not happy and walked off. but continued the game after persuasion from the home team.

as Shin Corp and iTV incidents in thailand are worsening the relationship of the two countries, does this have effect on the match? no one knows.

but for sportsmanship, this is not the way a sporty person should do.

i suddenly remembered a story.
2 countries having war with each other. but they have a game tie. the 2 countries declared no war for a few days before and after the match so that the players would have a sense of security when they played. the match was telecasted in both countries for their ppl to watch.

is this the way a game should goes?

the penalty could be errored but the game must go on. u wont see such thing in WC lor. this is Asean Cup (formerly known as Tiger Cup). a game among Asean, in e spirit of Asean.

Who knows the referee for the second leg may go wrong also.
Its common to have errors in soccer...
