The AFF Suzuki Cup, South-East Asia’s leading tournament will kick off on Saturday (November 24) with eight teams vying to be crowned kings of Asean football. Inaugural in 1996 as Tiger Cup and Asean Football Championship, the AFF Suzuki Cup now becoming the most important cup in Asean.

Group A will be staged in Bangkok with three-time winners Thailand taking on 2008 champions Vietnam, the Philippines, who surprised everybody by reaching the semis in 2010, and qualifiers Myanmar. The opening double header on Saturday sees Vietnam play Myanmar, who they beat 7-1 in their group encounter two years ago, with Thailand facing the Philippines.

Defending champions Malaysia have home advantage in Group B with the matches being played in Kuala Lumpur. They are up against 2010 beaten finalists Indonesia, three-time champions and arch-rivals Singapore - Malaysia’s opponents in their opening match on Sunday - and Laos, who progressed with Myanmar from the qualifying round.

There's not much to say except how I'm so happy for this defeat. Yes you heard me!

And for the record, I'm from Malaysia, born and bred educate here but unfortunately, being subject of being treated a second class citizen.

Which is why is always a nice feeling when a team filled with idiots good nothing Malays from Malaysia, who receive all thus bull $hit special right treatment being smacked in this @$$ by Malays from Singapore who earned their credit based on merit.

I hope there's more to come for you bunch of orang utans.
