congrats to Malaysia..but we still love our team..

The results from the1st led had actually big impact to the both teams.The fact was revealed at second leg in GBK stadium last night. The host team took over the game since the whistle had been blown by the Aussie's referee. Both team played very well, the host team had attacking style, while the visitor used defense and counter attack almost perfectly.
Despite the result last night, almost people appreciate the struggle of the host players. Scoring two goals with the high mentally pressure not an easy task.This year Indonesia can be said as the champion without the trophy.
We love our national team, we trust and we believe.

1-0, Narrow advantage for Indonesia from Philippine

Many people hope that there would be many goals at that game. We can hope that if the Philippine is the same team as we defeated them many year ago, but they are now totally different team. The have strong defense and great midfield, that's why they can beat Vietnam and hold Singapore at the group stage.

Let's back to the game. Indonesia started with a great opportunity, but the Philippine's goal keeper able to safe the narrow strike from Cristian Gonzales. The long pass strategy often created to open the strict defense from the opponent although many high defender in the Philippine defense. At that time, Neil Etheridge, Alex Borromeo, and Ray Anthony Jonsson played very good. Not many chances from the Philippine, because they only relied on the counter attack. And the chance came twice from Phillip Younghusband, both were from outside penalty box. 

In the minute 31', the error defense from Neil Etheridge and Ray Jonsson made Gonzales able to convert the chance became a goal. A long pass from Firman Utina was a great chance at that moment and a great heading also from Gonzales. His composure shows us that three times in row of top scorer in Indonesia League is a real fact.

In the second half, not too many different, the host still hold the game with the counter attack from the visitor. The error defense from Markus and Maman Abdurrahman almost made Phil Younghusband gave a disaster before a great safe heading from Zulkifly Sukur clear out the threat from Indonesian defense. The narrow advantage gives Indonesia more comfortable in the second leg...In my personal opinion, i hope we can meet Malaysia in the final.

Malaysia shock Vietnam with 2 goals

Mohd Safee Bin Mohd Sali  became a hero last night with his 2 goals to make one foot step to the final for Malaysia. Vietnam started their match with great possession against the host team which was supported by 35,000 supporter. It was seemed easy for the visitor because the Ho's midfielder and forward always terrorized the Malaysian goalkeeper. In the 61' Safee Sali broke the dead lock with the beautiful header, although Vietnam goalkeeper, Bui Tan Truong tried to safe the ball. Great appreciation was fairly enough to be given for the Malaysian defender.

 After made a goal, the Rajagobal's side was likely having a great addition power. Until Safiq Bin Rahim  strucked with the fiercely shoot from the outside penalty book, and the ball was deflected by Bui Tan Truong's hand, unfortunately for the goalkeeper, Safee Sali came with the right time and position to struck from the deflection to make it 2-0. In the next game in My Dinh Stadium, Hanoi, The Vietnamese will need to score more than two goals to progress in the final..And it could be happened.

President happy Indonesia able to beat Thailand


Gianyar, Bali (ANTARA News) - President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono showed his joy after the Indonesian national football team defeated Thailand 2-1 in the ASEAN Football Federation Suzuki Cup here on Tuesday.

He immediately raised his hands high and clapped them after the team`s captain scored two goals through penalty kicks, to express his happiness.

"Thank God", he said turning to those joining him watching together the football match between the two countries on television at the Tampaksiring presidential palace.

Yudhoyono would not show pessimism towards the national team when it was still unable to score a goal until the first half. "There is still an opportunity" he said optimistically.

His hope was fulfilled after the team made two goals in the second half through penalty kicks after Thailand first scored one goal.

President Yudhoyono remained in his seat for 2-45 minutes to watch the game, accompanied by First Lady Ani Yudhoyono and several cabinet ministers, defense forces commander Admiral Agus Suhartono and national police chief Timur Pradopo as well as other local officials.

Football is a very popular sport in the country but the national team has not made quite an achievement at big events for a long time and so the victory over Thailand at the championship was very encouraging after earlier it beat Malaysia 5-1 and Laos 6-0 and opened an opportunity wider for the team to meet the hope of many fans for the team to come out as the champion later.

Yudhoyono was in Bali among others to attend the Bali Democracy Forum on December 9-10.(*)

Indonesia 2 Thailand 1 - Bambang double ends Thai hopes













JAKARTA: Bambang Pamungkas converted two late penalties as Indonesia came from behind to beat Thailand 2-1 on Tuesday and send the three-time champions crashing out of the AFF Suzuki Cup.

Thailand appeared to be on course for the win that they needed to progress when Suree Sukha fired them ahead in the 68th minute at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium.

But Bambang levelled the score from the spot in the 81st minute and then fired home the winner a minute from time to give the hosts their third consecutive victory in Group A and condemn the Thais to an early exit.

Despite securing top spot in the group before the match, Indonesia coach Alfred Riedl opted to make only three changes to the side that beat Laos 6-0 with Tony Sucipto, Muhamad Roby and Eka Ramdani coming in for Firman Utina and Ahmad Bustomi, who each have a booking, and the injured Hamka Hamzah.

Thailand coach Bryan Robson made four changes to his side from their goalless draw with Malaysia with Suttinun Phukhom, Rangsan Vivatchaichok, Kirati Keawsombut and Naruphol Aromsawa replacing Suchao Nutnum, Sarayoot Chaikamdee, Sutee Suksomkit and Phichitphong Choeichiu

There were worries for the Thais when goalkeeper Sinthaweechai Hathairattanakool required lengthy treatment after an aerial collision after just two minutes. But he managed to continue after having his head heavily bandaged.

Cheered on loudly by the crowd of 65,000, the Indonesians showed plenty of attacking intent early on but the first half quickly descended into a physical battle with little in the way of clear-cut chances.

Thai midfielder Rangsan Vivatchaichok should have done better in the fifth minute when he fired a free-kick 25 metres from goal straight at the wall while Indonesia goalkeeper Markus Harison bravely came out to save at the feet of Datsakorn Thonglao in the 15th minute after Kirati Keawsombut had gone around right back Mohammad Nasuha.

The Thais created a good opening on the half-hour when Rangsan received a pass from Datsakorn on the edge of the box and quickly relayed it to Kirati, who looked to be clear on goal but shot wide as he was challenged by Zulkifly Syukur.

The Thais continued to press after the half-time break and nearly took the lead in the 51st minute when Markus was caught out of position after he failed to gather a cross by Rangsan. Datsakorn lofted the loose ball towards goal but Maman Abdurachman headed it off his line.

The Indonesians had a chance of their own a minute later when the ball was lofted into the Thai box for Christian Gonzales, who got to the ball just ahead of Sinthaweechai but touched his effort just wide of the far post.

Markus then atoned for his earlier error in the 55th minute with a fine reflex save to keep out Kirati's spectacular bicycle kick from 10 metres.

With time beginning to run out on his side, Robson sent Therdsak Chaiman on to replace Datsakorn in the 68th minute. And just a minute later, they got the crucial goal as Kirati knocked the ball down in the box for Suree, who volleyed into the top right corner.

But Indonesia came to life after falling behind and began to take control of proceedings.

Arif Suyono saw his shot deflected over by Suchao Nutnum in the 78th minute, and three minutes later, the hosts were awarded a penalty when Gonzales appeared to be bundled over in the box by Panupong Wongsa, who was booked.

Bambang was unerring from the spot, driving the ball past Sinthaweechai into the bottom left corner.

Roared on by the home fans, they completed the comeback a minute from time when they were awarded another penalty after Panupong handled Arif's goal-bound attempt. Panupong was dismissed for his second yellow card and Indonesia skipper Bambang made no mistake once again, sending Sinthaweechai the wrong way from the spot to seal Thailand's demise.from :affsuzukicup.com

Future looks bright for Irfan







JAKARTA: The year may not have started well for Irfan Bachdim but the Dutch-born striker looks set to end it on a high.

In January, Irfan suddenly found himself without a job after his club in the Netherlands went bankrupt and were kicked out of the league.

But the 22-year-old now finds himself the footballing idol of an adoring nation after playing a big role in Indonesia's 5-1 thumping of Malaysia in their Suzuki Cup Group A opener on Wednesday.

It may have been his first experience of playing in front of Indonesia's raucous fans at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium but Irfan showed the poise of a veteran with an energetic performance that saw him create his side's opening goal and round off a memorable evening with his first international strike.

For a player facing an uncertain future just 12 months ago, it was the stuff of dreams.

"It has been a dream of mine to play for the national team. Standing on the pitch, seeing the crowd and then the national anthem starts, it really gave me goosebumps and it felt electric," he told www.affsuzukicup.com.

"I knew it would be something like that because I knew about the Indonesian crowd. I have played in front of a big crowd before in the first division in Holland. But what I saw yesterday was more amazing than what I had experienced before.

"Scoring the goal at the end really made me happy. At 5-1 it was not a very important goal but it was a nice way to finish off a memorable evening.

Born in Amsterdam to an Indonesian father and Dutch mother, Irfan has spent almost his entire life in the Netherlands, developing his football skills at the famous Ajax academy and top flight club FC Utrecht.

He made his professional debut at Utrecht in 2008 but after being released by the club last year, he dropped a division to sign for HFC Haarlem, where he got a chance to play regular first team football.

He played in more than a dozen games during the first half of the season but things turned sour when the club went bankrupt at the start of this year and were expelled from the league.

Irfan joined a third division side after Haarlem's demise but his fortunes took a significant turn when he was invited to play in benefit games in Indonesia for Arema founder "Lucky" Acub Zaenal and former Persebaya coach Rusdy Bahalwan.

Having had the opportunity to play for Indonesia's Under-23 side during a training camp in the Netherlands in 2007, he jumped at the opportunity and caught the attention of Indonesian Super League side Persema Malang with his performances in the two games.

"I was invited to Indonesia to play in a couple of benefit games in Malang and Surabaya," explained Irfan. "I really wanted to be there and after those two games, I was approached by Persema Malang who offered me an opportunity to play there.

"I said yes and after that, everything went very quickly. After just three months, I was in the national team!

"It's all gone very fast but I'm very happy now that I'm in Indonesia because it has always been my dream to play for the national team," added Irfan, who opted to keep his Indonesian passport instead of his Dutch one when he turned 21.

"I'm not concerned about going back to Holland. I'm focussed on trying to help Indonesia to win this tournament and I'm focussed on my club Persema."

Despite reaching the final three times, Indonesia have yet to win the AFF Suzuki Cup. But Irfan is confident that this could finally be their year.

"I think that we have a very talented team now. We have players with a lot of experience like Bambang (Pamungkas) and (Christian) Gonzales and we also have great players for the future like Yongky (Aribowo) and Johan (Juansyah).

"It's football so you never know what is going to happen. We won last night and we had a great game but the other teams like Thailand, Laos and Vietnam have seen what we can do and they can prepare well for us.

"But we've down well so far and I have faith that we can go far." from:affsuzukicup.com

Feyenoord snap up Van Beukering

Feyenoord snapped up free agent Jhonny van Beukering after his deal at NEC Nijmegen expired at the end of last season.
The player has signed a contract until next summer - with an option for a further 12 months - and boss Mario Been will be hoping he can help drag the club away from the lower reaches of the Eredivisie.
Van Beukering told the club's official website: "Football can be strange.
"A month ago I never imagined ending up at Feyenoord. But Mario Been has given me a chance and I have grabbed it with both hands."
Van Beukering may be thrown in for his debut in Sunday's trip to Willem II.
"I am anxious to get back to playing games and if the coach needs me I am ready," he said.

Indonesia 5 Malaysia 1

JAKARTA: Indonesia made a perfect start to their AFF Suzuki Cup campaign after coming from behind to trounce Malaysia 5-1 in their Group A opener at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium on Wednesday.

After weathering an early storm, Norshahrul Idlan fired the Tigers into a surprise lead with a breakaway goal in the 18th minute. But the hosts levelled shortly afterwards when Malaysian defender Asraruddin Putra turned Irfan Bachdim's low cross into his own net.

The hosts then took the lead with a superb finish by striker Christian Gonzales before half-time before Muhammad Ridwan, substitute Arif Suyono and Irfan completed the rout after the break.

With a fiercely partisan home crowd cheering them one, the Indonesians began the game strongly and very nearly took the lead in the second minute when Malaysia goalkeeper Sharbinee Allawee made a superb save to deny Gonzales after he had been sent clear by Firman Utina.

Having withstood the early pressure and quietened the raucous crowd a little, the Malaysians began to assert themselves with S. Kunalan shooting just wide and Norsharul seeing his close-range effort blocked.

The hosts failed to heed the warning signs and found themselves trailing after 18 minutes. An Indonesian attack broke down and the ball was launched forward to Safee Sali who cut inside a defender before feeding the ball to an unmarked Norshahrul who coolly teed the ball up before lashing it past a helpless Markus Harison.

However, Malaysia's lead would last just four minutes. On a quick break down the left flank, Irfan cut the ball back from the byline, which knicked off Sharbinee and hit the unfortunate Asraruddin on the leg before going in.

To the delight of the home fans, Gonzales then fired the Merah Putih in front in the 33rd minute, gathering a pass from Irfan on the right edge of the box and dribbling unchallenged into a central position before sliding an inch-perfect shot into the bottom corner of the net.

Safee had the ball in the back of the Indonesian net in the 40th minute but his effort was disallowed for offside.

And just before the break, Irfan launched a long-range screamer from 25 metres that flew just inches wide of the Malaysian left upright.

But a third goal would not be long in coming at the start of the second half.Muhammad Ridwan and Ahmad Bustomi played a one-two on the edge of the box in the 53rd minute and when a Malaysian defender misplayed the return pass, Ridwan stroked the ball past Sharbinee.

Markus was called into action shortly afterwards as Amri Yahyah fired in a low shot that was superbly turned aside by the Indonesian keeper.

Irfan was then denied when Shabinee turned aside his effort in the 73rd minute but Arif, just on a substitute for Ridwan, extended the lead 14 minutes from time after capitalising on an error by Asraruddin.

Irfan then capped of a superb night for the Indonesians when he turned in Oktovianus Maniani's cross in stoppage time to round off the scoring. from: affsuzukicup.com

can indonesia win The AFF Suzuki Cup ?

In the early 90's, Indonesia NT was one of the powerhouse in the ASEAN region, the only competitor for the Thai's squad. The last history was the gold medal in Sea Games Jakarta 1990, after that nothing was happened. Many people said that in Nurdin Halid regime, the Indonesia NT is getting worse and worse.

Japan end long wait for football gold

Japan won their first Asian Games football gold on Thursday with a 1-0 win over the United Arab Emirates who had created and squandered the best opportunities of the final.
Defender Yuki Saneto scored the only goal of the game in the 73rd minute to give Japan their seventh win in seven matches at the Guangzhou Asiad.
"I'm delighted to have scored the winning goal, because in the semi-final I made some mistakes," said Saneto. "I wanted to do something special in this match."
UAE's assistant coach Hassan Al Abdooli said his team had been unfortunate to lose.
"Our performance was beautiful and we have played in a way which people like to watch," he said. "We were unlucky, but that's football."
In a tight opening half, the UAE shook off the defensive cloak which had frustrated South Korea in the semi-final before delivering a winning sucker punch in extra-time.
They had four shots on target in the first half on Thursday with Omar Al Omoudi having his team's best chance of the opening period, but he headed wide after earlier seeing a spectacular overhead kick saved by Japan goalkeeper Shunsuke Ando.
Japan had reached the final with an impressive run of six successive wins and boasted the blossoming striking talent of Kensuke Nagai, the 25-year-old having hit five goals in five games.
But it was the UAE who continued to press after the interval with Ahmed Al Abry, who scored the last-minute extra-time winner to beat South Korea, seeing Ando save a close-range header after the ball had twice hit the woodwork.
Abdulla Bloushi then forced Ando into a smart save at the foot of his post.
The UAE paid the price for their wastefulness when Japan broke the deadlock in the 73rd minute.
From a flowing move down the left hand side, a cross was swung in which floated over the heads of the UAE defenders and into the path of right-back Saneto.
He took just one touch and fired a right-foot drive into the corner, past the despairing dive of UAE goalkeeper and captain Ali Housani.
Substitute Saeed Al Kathiri then saw a diving header saved by Ando as Japan held on for gold.
Earlier, South Korea stunned Iran with three goals in the last 12 minutes to win the bronze medal 4-3.
The Koreans looked down and out when Iran went 3-1 in front early in the second half but Monaco's Park Chu-Young gave them a glimmer of hope when he buried the ball in the net to make it 3-2 on 78 minutes.
In a dramatic finale, Ji Dong-Won made it 3-3 with two minutes of regulation time left before firing in the winner barely a minute later to jubilant scenes on the Korean bench.
Anyway, who can beat Yamaha, Suzuki, Honda, Sanyo, Sony,Kawasaki....i bet you can't

new forward in indonesia national team

It's been reported that the national coach will try new form of attacking position. They are Irfan Bachdim and Cristian Gonzales. For Cristian "El Loco" Gonzales, it's a long journey to get a chance to play with country where his wife and children's belongs. No one can argue his capability to be a destroyer, he has scored more than 200 goals since he played firstly in PSM Makasar.He made a history with Persik Kediri to win the champion in 2005- 2008 year season. El Loco lost his father and he preferred not to back home to his country to gain nationality from Indonesia.
While Irfan Bachdim is a Indo- Holland player, he spent his youth career in FC Utrecht junior in Holland, but failed to make a regular play in the first team. Then he moved to HFC Harlem in the lower division, due to the bankruptcy he'd been released by the club. When he played for charity game in Malang and Surabaya, Timmo Scheuneman, Persema coach interested to sign him. Now he plays regularly in Persema, and scored 3 goals so far.

Bambang "Bepe" Pamungkas back home to Jakarta

It's almost a week Bepe in New Zealand to make an effort in order to play with A-League for the first time in his career finally on failure. In the final pre season match of Wellington Phoenix, not even a minute Bepe playing on that match.  Ricki Herbert said that Bepe failed to adapt with temperature in New Zealand which can be said totally different with place where Bepe come.

“We thank Bambang for all his efforts during his trial with us and wish him all the best for his football career,” Phoenix head coach Ricki Herbert said of the 30-year-old.

“We’ll continue to scout Asia for potential Phoenix signings in the future because of the talent emerging from that region.”

It's very sorry for Bepe, because if it is happened, the Nix would become the third foreign club for Bepe. But it is nothing matter, because Persija always welcome their hero to return. 

That should be followed by young talented players in Indonesia, such as Boas Salosa, Yongki Ariwibowo, and Dendi Santosa to try his luck overseas. Who knows in the future...

Can Sergio play for Indonesia?



For over than 2 weeks, football fans in Indonesia almost cannot sleep, because Indonesia FA (PSSI) wants to make an instant move for the national team.  PSSI feel so desperate because the NT never wins the international competition, more over after the failure to progress to the Asian Cup group stage. This is the failure since 1996 after first appearance.

The winless for all matches in the qualifying group make the Indonesia NT stay in the bottom. Although the hope almost appear when after shocking goalless with Socceros , Australia. When Indonesia become visitor for Australia, this team cannot denied from loosing, goal from Mark Milligan grab 3 points for Australia.

Actually, the willingness for Sergio to play for this NT has been showed since last year. He realized that become Netherlands’s striker is too impossible, too many players for that position.
According to FIFA,  the rules are : (a) He was born on the territory of the relevant Association;
(b) His biological mother or biological father was born on the territory of
the relevant Association;
(c) His grandmother or grandfather was born on the territory of the
relevant Association;
(d) He has lived continuously for at least five years after reaching the age
of 18 on the territory of the relevant Association."

Base on the rules above that should be no problem for Sergio to use Indonesia jersey team. But the Indonesian law does not recognize dual nationality for adults over 18 years old. This rule becomes the main concern for PSSI to help Sergio to play with NT.

The State Minister of Youth and Sport Affairs, Andi Malarangeng said that Sergio should release his Netherlands nationality if he wants to play for Indonesia NT.
That is too bad and stupid government..!!!!

foot ball history

Football history
There are many versions about the football history. According to Wikipedia.com, the ancient Greek, the Romans, The Japanese, and the English were the first nations to play game similar to modern football (Soccer: in USA), although it still debatable until now.





According to ancient Greek and the Romans history (388–311 BC), the games that similar to football firstly play when a man was killed, and his head was being kicked by many people until his head came into a barber’s shop.
In Chinese, people played it when it led by Han Dynasty (206 BC–220 BC), at that time this game, called as Cuju by Chinese, was played more organized. The ball was made with leather and the goal post was made from bamboo with high around 9 meters.
In Japan, this game known as kemari, it was played when Asuka led the Dynasty (600 AD). The game is similar to freestyle, where people play it in circle and kick it each other, and not allow it to drop in the ground.
In English, this game was played firstly in 1100 AC and it was played massively, involved hundreds of people. Because of the brutality of this game (the rule not existed yet), the King Edward II (1314 AD) prohibited it to play this game. This game was played again during The King Edward III (1369 AD).



The rule of this game always changed continually. And the modern era of football or soccer came when FIFA (Federation International of Football Association) was established in May, 21, 1904. FIFA regularly arranged the FIFA World Cup in five years, firstly held in Uruguay, where the host became the champion for the first time. Brazil holds the record to become the champion in five times.

KRAMA AND NGOKO, THE STYLE OF JAVANESE LANGUAGE

I. INTRODUCTION
Javanese language is one of the most important languages in Indonesia. It is spoken by more than 80 million people or about 40 percent from total Indonesian population (Oglobin, 2005). The Javanese language is part of the Austronesian family, and therefore it’s related to Indonesian and Malay varieties. Many of Javanese also speak Indonesian for official and commercial purposes and to communicate with non-Javanese Indonesians. This language is spoken in Central and East Java, as well as on the north coast of West Java. In Madura, Bali, Lombok, and the Sunda region of West Java, Javanese was also used as a literary language. It was the court language in Palembang, South Sumatra, until their palace was sacked by the Dutch in the late 18th century.
The Javanese language has a very high value of literature, structure and a complicated grammar. It is not easy to apply it, especially for the common people. It is different with English, where the use of Javanese language is not depend on the time, whether it is past or future, as much the English that has tenses so that it can be easily to learn, but it depends on the social acceptability and age of the person.
