AFF SUZUKI : Malaysia hanya mahu menang (Kosmo)

KETUA jurulatih skuad Harimau Malaysia, Datuk Ong Kim Swee (dua dari kiri) bersalaman dengan ketua jurulatih Vietnam, Nguyeen Huu Thang pada sidang akhbar di hotel Novotel Yangon Max, Myanmar semalam. Turut hadir kapten skuad negara, Amri Yahyah (kiri) dan ketua pasukan Vietnam, Le Cong Vinh.
YANGON, Myanmar – “Kami hanya mahu menang. Satu mata belum cukup untuk mengesahkan tempat ke pusingan separuh akhir. Bukan nak cakap ‘besar’ tetapi itulah hakikatnya kerana hanya kemenangan akan menjamin kedudukan kami untuk ke separuh akhir”.
Demikian tegas kapten skuad Harimau Malaysia, Amri Yahyah menjelang aksi menentang Vietnam pada perlawanan kedua peringkat Kumpulan B kempen Piala AFF Suzuki 2016 di Stadium Thuwunna hari ini.
Menurut Amri, andai perlawanan berkesudahan seri, ia masih belum cukup selesa buat mereka memburu tempat ke pusingan separuh akhir.
Walaupun menyedari Vietnam tampil selaku pasukan pilihan dalam Kumpulan B, namun ia tidak mengundang gentar buat pasukan Harimau Malaysia, sebaliknya mereka lebih bersemangat untuk memastikan lawan mereka itu tersungkur seperti mana yang berlaku pada aksi separuh akhir kedua kejohanan yang sama di Hanoi dua tahun lalu.
Dalam pertemuan itu, skuad negara menang 4-2 selepas tewas 1-2 pada separuh akhir pertama di Stadium Shah Alam.
“Dengan keyakinan tinggi yang ada pada semua pemain Harimau Malaysia sekarang, saya percaya kami mampu meraih keputusan positif.


“Kami perlu mendapatkan tiga mata penuh untuk mengesahkan tempat lebih awal ke separuh akhir. Kami juga menganggap aksi menentang Vietnam esok (hari ini) ibarat perlawanan akhir,” jelas Amri pada sidang akhbar di hotel Novotel Yangon Max di sini semalam.
Tambah Amri lagi, keputusan seri hanya akan menyukarkan peluang skuad negara untuk melepasi peringkat kumpulan kerana mereka akan menentang pasukan tuan rumah, Myanmar pada aksi terakhir, Sabtu ini.
“Sebab itu kami perlu menang. Tiada guna kalau kami dapat tiga mata pada perlawanan pertama tetapi kemudian tewas (kepada Vietnam). Apa yang mustahak, kami akan berusaha mendapatkan kemenangan,” katanya.
Pada kejohanan kali ini, Malaysia memulakan langkah dengan bergaya apabila menang 3-2 ke atas Kemboja, manakala Vietnam pula menghampakan Myanmar 2-1.
Malaysia kini mendahului Kumpulan B dengan meraih tiga mata, manakala Vietnam di tempat kedua juga dengan tiga mata. Mereka dipisahkan dengan jumlah perbezaan jaringan.

UCL : Borussia mengganaz (Sejarah tercipta) | Leicester mara... Spurs merana tangga ketiga.


  • Through on Tuesday: Madrid, Leverkusen, Monaco, Leicester, Juventus
  • Dortmund beat Legia 8-4, the highest scoring game ever in the competition
  • Sevilla and Porto miss chance as Lyon and FCK remain alive
MONACO secured top spot in group E & a place in the round 16 courtesy of a 2-1 victory on home turf against Tottenham Hotspur, who can now finish no higher than 3rd.

Monaco are unbeaten in 14 home games since 1 April 💪 

Lloris said before this game that it would be a "failure" if Tottenham went out at the group stage, but by their own high standards the Lilywhites have failed in this European venture. 

Spurs cannot say they have performed to their best in any UEFA Champions League fixture this term and they were all at sea defensively in Monaco, despite Lloris's heroics


Hugo superbly saves Falcao's penalty.

HUGO: "We're very disappointed, very frustrated. We started too slow and sloppy. We didn't deserve to win tonight."

Real Madrid are 30 games unbeaten in all comps since April 2016 (W23 D7) 🔥

Leicester City's dream UEFA Champions League debut goes on after they beat Club Brugge to book a place in the last 16 as Group G winners with a game to spare.
A lovely finish from Shinji Okazaki set Claudio Ranieri's side on their way after just five minutes, and when Riyad Mahrez doubled the lead from the penalty spot – his fourth goal in five UEFA Champions League matches – the writing was on the wall for the point-less visitors.

CLAUDIO: "Very happy for the club, Chairman, the lads, our fans. We're on another journey. I don't know where, but we're excited!"
MORGAN: "For a club like to finish top of our group is an amazing achievement. Been better than we could have imagined.

Dortmund and Legia combine to smash goals records

Key player: Marco Reus (Dortmund)
Reus banished any doubts about his match sharpness with a virtuoso display. Other players might have tired on their first competitive outing in six months. Not Reus. That the German international was still going strong at the death, when he fashioned his team's eighth, was testament to his endurance levels.

Dortmund's Shinji Kagawa heads in the equaliser

UCL history
It was a night of celebration for Dortmund - who became the fourth team to score eight goals in a single Champions League match



EPL : Giliran Chelsea di atas.


Conte calls Diego Costa 'one of the best strikers in the world' who is channelling his passion in the right way

Diego Costa 10th Premier League goal of the season... 🔥

The team showed great attitude against Chelsea today. It's not the result we wanted, but we'll continue on with the same determination- Aitor Karanka

EPL : MU 1 ARSENAL 1

🗣 “We were not sharp enough and not fluent enough, but in the end we scored a great goal.”- Wenger


It wasn't the win he would've wanted - but the boss certainly enjoyed 's last-minute equaliser



  • Mourinho: We are the unlucky ones
  • Wenger: We lacked sharpness today


The Gunners had Olivier Giroud to thank for rescuing a 1-1 draw against Man United after what was probably their worst performance of the season. The France international's thumping late header was brilliantly timed and the fact that it was Arsenal's only attempt on target for whole game tells you a significant part of the story.

Once more at Old Trafford, the Gunners failed to perform and when Juan Mata put United ahead midway through the second half, it was tough to see how Arsenal would get anything...
