February 23, 2011 

(WFI) Up to 3,000 Indonesian fans have laid siege to the headquarters of the country’s football federation (PSSI), demanding the removal of its president Nurdin Halid.

Let's change the game...

When we are talking about football, we can talk about fairplay, togetherness and sportivity. But none of them we can find it in Indonesia football league, so much unfairness and vandalism have happened in the pitch. When the PSSI (Indonesia FA) decided to choose Mr.Nurdin Halid for the second period many people have arguing about that. No one championship tittle to win since he take the rule in PSSI, beside the Independence Cup (the chaos in tournament base on the walk out action from the finalist opponent from Libyan National team).
While in the pitch, become the real fact of the failure of PSSI to organize the national football. We can watch professional football doing karate and wrestling in the football pitch only in football league whom organized by the PSSI. Last season ,PKT's player , Jumadi Abdi had lost his life due to the karate action from Persela's player. While couple weeks ago, Pavel Solomin has broken legs due to the bad tackle from the Pelita's goalie. That is to much and we should change it.

Can we?
