It's not quite actually for the past few days, rather I think everyone, just like me, is concerned about the yet-to-be-released "list of 30 or 32" national provisional squad by coach Raddy (pictured below).  I'm not sure where the sources were gathered from, but here was where I got my (pictured below from "Team Singapore" FB page) which was supposed to be made known by yesterday, while another claim the papers were talking about it.   However, I got in touch with FAS and they replied it wasn't the case, but did mention it could be "anytime soon". Nonetheless, the excitement generated by this to-be-announced list just got everyone pumped up, and have we not heard. read anyone voiced his/her two cents worth of opinions on this issue? Below is a list of notable few which I managed to source around regarding the pending announcement.

Prior to this afternoon's draw to decide this year's RHB Singapore Cup fixtures, there were all sorts of confirmed unofficial information (as those weren't issued by the FAS) circulating around, pertaining who were the foreign sides being invited and who decided not to come. As far as we are concern before the draw, the only confirmed official information was the decision by Courts Young Lions not to take part in this year's tournament due to conflicting schedules and fixtures, as mentioned on their website. Other than that, I gathered from social media platforms that defending champions Bangkok Glass (pictured below - last year after their win at JBS) would not return to defend their title because of their priority to concentrate on their domestic campaign.

I'm not sure how and what had the quoted candidate contributed throughout the cause of the aborted project, but merely making use of football for political gains is something uncalled for. Stop ballyhooing for votes using the game and leave football alone, thank you.
