Edgar Davids will be in Singapore  Said Mr Rene de Monchy, Head of Marketing, Asia Pacific Breweries Singapore, the brewer of the title sponsors Tiger Beer, on the return of the 5-a-side tournament. “Off the back of the successful inaugural Tiger Street Football tournament in Singapore last year, we are eagerly awaiting this year’s edition of the tournament at Clarke Quay, an ideal venue in the heart of the city that reflects our aim of bringing football to the streets.

Seems to me the news of the league authority having talks with another Japanese club, Cerezo Osaka "some time back" triggered another round of exchanges of thoughts on the tweet timeline. Not much concern about whether the league is ready to welcome another new team into it, nor the fate of Albirex Niigata (Singapore), who are in the scene since 2004, are considering a pull-out if the Osaka club is to be given entry to the league.

Many lauded the action taken by the Eagles skipper after he was approached by reported straight to the relevant authorities which led to the conviction of Koreans Kim Jae Hong and Jeong Byung Euk. While many seem to be fixated on the nagging scourge that has been bothering the whole setup, those words by the 32-year-old appeared to give us a view from another perspective.
