menikmati mendukung Legiun Garuda di Piala Federasi




yah.. kita belum juara, meskipun menang 2-1 atas Malaysia di pertandingan terakhir, namun masih belum bisa mengangkat piala juara kali ini. tapi bagaimanapun, ada keseruan sendiri di balik perjalanan Timnas di pagelaran AFF Suzuki 2010.. siapa yang sangka para wanita kini mulai banyak yang mau dan tertarik untuk mendukung Timnas kita? apapun alasannya, membuat lebih manis sepakbola kita dan tentunya bertambah juga dukungan bagi legiun kita.

sedikit tentang pertandingan terakhir kemarin, menurut saya (yang tidak ahli bermain bola), merupakan sebuah pertandingan yang sangat baik. if's it's not good, i would call it great! kita menyerang terus, mengoyak dari sana sini.. tapi memang harus saya akui, pemain bertahan lawan sangat disiplin mampu menutup ruang gerak penyerang kita.. dan ketika berhasil menemukan ruang gerak, masih tertahan oleh sang penjaga gawang yang terbukti bermain sangat baik malam itu diawali dengan berhasil menahan tendangan pinalti kapten timnas kita.. bayangkan tekanan yang didapat pemain kita, ketika penalti itu gagal dan musuh berhasil menjebol gawang (lagi) dengan serangan balik yang taktis ketika pertahanan kita lengah.. oo common, siapapun seharusnya bisa melihat ketatnya pertahanan lawan..tapi kemudian pemain kita terus bangkit dan bermain dengan sangat baik malam itu dengan melesatkan dua gol ke pertahanan mereka.. it was such a moment when those goals are made, wasnt it?

dan mungkin (sudah pasti tepatnya) adalah hal yang sangat jauh berbeda antara: melihat di layar kaca, bangku penonton dan berada di lapangan sebagai pemain.. jangan salahkan pemain kita yang sudah berlari kencang terus terlihat tidak mampu memberikan umpan, pemain kita yang belum berhasil memberikan sentuhan terakhir di depan gawang, pemain kita yang kadang terlihat berlari lebih pelan dibanding tim lawan, dan juga hal-hal lain yang tentunya mereka (pemain) yang lebih merasakan, tidaklah mudah bermain di lapangan sana kawan.. so, ada baiknya kita yang katanya sebagai pendukung timnas melakukan apa yang kita bisa lakukan di luar lapangan.. daripada menyalahkan, meng-goblok2-an, atau meremehkan permainan mereka, seharusnya kita mampu memberikan support yang positif.. jika mereka jatuh, kita angkat dan bangkitkan ; jika mereka belum berhasil menjebol setelah set-piece yang cukup baik, kita berikan dukungan "ayo terus, coba lagi, kita pasti bisa!". Bukankah support yang baik seperti itu? saya bukan fanatik sepakbola Timnas, apalagi seorang patriotik, tapi berani dijamin seperti jutaan penonton lainnya, saya rasa kita telah bersatu sebagai bangsa Indonesia selama 90 menit malam itu, bukan begitu? beberapa teman saya bahkan menTweet betapa nasionalisnya momentum malam itu, ada yang berteriak-teriak, mengumpat, hampir menangis, merinding dan tentu juga ada yang tidak kuasa menitikkan air mata.. wajar saja jika melihat permainan penuh seperti itu..



dan saya salut dengan Riedl sang pelatih yang mampu meramu dan mengolah pemain kita dan sangat menyetujui beberapa kutipannya tentang permainan kita, lawan, dan beberapa hal lainnya:

"Congratulations to the Malaysian team on winning the AFF Suzuki Cup although I think that it was the better team that lost the final," said Riedl.

"I think we really lost the final in the first leg in Kuala Lumpur after we allowed three goals in a terrible 12 minutes. Today, I thought that we were really unlucky because we played our best football of the tournament in the first half but we could not score a goal.

"After we went a goal behind, we showed a lot of determination and we fought very hard to come back and we deserved to win the game. We could really have scored five, six or seven goals tonight but we missed too many chances in the first half.

"I want to thank the whole team for the commitment and discipline that they showed on the pitch. In particular, I must thank the captain, Firman Utina, and Bambang Pamungkas, who is our team leader because they are my right hands on the field. But the whole team deserve to be proud of their success and the way that they have played in the tournament."

Riedl did not believe that Firman's missed spot kick may have made much of a difference to the final outcome.

"Even if we had scored a penalty, a lot of things still could have happened so we will never know how big a difference it might have made," said the Austrian. "But I'm probably thinking the same as all of you (that it might have been a big difference to the final outcome)."

Despite the devasting loss, Riedl insisted that he has no plans for leaving his current position as Indonesia's head coach.

"The president of the Indonesian FA can kick me out tomorrow. But as long as I am in charge of the team, I will continue to make the decisions of how we play and who plays.

I still have a 16-month contract with the team and I want to stay but you never know what will happen tomorrow," he added.
yah ini semua di luar sinar laser, rusuh antiran tiket, tentang bos PSSI, dan beberapa hal lainnya..

yeah i had a great time that game.. great game indeed..
and it's not just a game, it's what unites us.

menikmati temper trap





umm yeah.. pada awalnya kirain gak bisa dateng (job-related-reason).. tapi ternyata memang masih diperbolehkan untuk ikut menikmatinya.. menikmati temper trap!

opening act by Efek Rumah Kaca, one of the most anticipated band from Jakarta. yeah, they're very good.. used to listen to their album a couple years ago, when i hear their music, kinda bring out some part of me that never show up to surface for a while. well anyhoo, they warm the crowd up pretty good. check their myspace out.

the second act is James Yuill. hell, i dont know this guy. but watching him do a one-man-performance (Dj-ing, Guitaring, Drumpadding, Keyboarding, Acousticing and all!) on stage give me the thrill, he's good. not preferably my kind of music, but i found myself dancing to this hahaha. for more about him visit here.

and finally, for almost three-hours-of-non-stop-standing, the temper trap. wuihh, the band i really like just because of the song Sweet Disposition, and more and more loving it after hearing their Conditions album (and to know that Dougy-theleadvoclist is an Indonesian, the band is just plain awesome to me..) The gig was great, everything between the opening through the end is awesome! they perform really well, and the crowd do the singalong just fine, i cant say no more, they're just awesome.. keep clapping my hand at every end of the song they played. Oh, and they played all the song on the album, plus one new song from the upcoming album.. Yeah, the band rocks that night out! Great show guys, come again will ya!

here's some of the favourites played live at that gig. enjoy!



and this keep playing at the big screen while we were waiting for the gigs,
Love Lost by Temper Trap. Funny lads!




thanks for Ismaya Live, and the guy that upload the video on
