Singapura-pura

"At every opportunity, its players would try to slow the game down. Whenever one got a slight push in the back, he would collapse in a heap on the grass, and then would try to delay the game as many minutes as possible writhing around in mock agony.

This was the worst performance of the whole night. As bad as the crowd was in jeering the players, it was the players themselves on centre stage who needed to lead by example. Instead of standing up and playing the game as men, the Singaporeans played the fool, making a mockery of not just themselves, but the entire concept of competitive spirit.

That’s what really disgusted me."
