Foreign-born or not, what matters most is that in their hearts, they are playing for the country and it's people. I've watched the S-League enough to know that these naturalised Singaporeans toiled their hearts out on the pitch, just so they would be good enough to represent the country. Duric shed tears when we were kicked out of the ASEAN championships last year. Compare that to the attitude of what is becoming a signature habit; "fans" leaving the game halfway whenever the Lions are losing a game.
Once again, the keyboard warriors are jumping onto the bandwagon. My invitation to them is to watch at least one S-League game a season. Don't give me the contradictory bullshit that it's a nonsense league when it's one thing to claim to be nationalistic and wanting to fight for grand ideas (and narrow-minded xenophobia) and another to actually doing something to show that you support and care for the sport and the country.
As for the Lions return to the Malaysia League / Cup. It's a populist approach. I don't support it. A real pity that's like taking 2 steps forward and 1 step back.
