Asia Cup is here ...!!!


Refreshing event for an underpressure research student (not me... :D)

Cool info to share during the morning chit chat with my lab-mate...


Here we GO....


Good and bad news about Asia Cup: through the eye of Indonesian.


GOOD

1. Our team is not as bad as people think


Read what Indonesian-team coach, Ivan Kolev, said about "his" kids.


"Basically, the Indonesia national team is not as bad as people think,"


"They have players who have skills and talents as good those of Bahrain, Saudi Arabia or South Korea."


"We have individual skills and we will try to unite them into one team and these skills are one of the reasons that made me accept the job to be Indonesia coach."


cool....... although he only said that we are "NOT AS BAD AS"; means we are not that good either :(


2. Indonesia beat Bahrain: 2-1


We won..... OLE OLE OLE OLE..... we won !!!!

Did not expect this, but still extremely proud of it...!!!!!
