This is AMAZING
Common decided to join in on some freestyle fun on the streets of New Orleans, alongside a local wordsmith. Too cool for their own good
HUGE Bangladeshi away section here. This is so fucking amazing to see! For many of them, this is one of the very few opportunities to hold on to that homeland connection.

Lewis Hamilton’s dad worked FOUR jobs, used his life savings and re-mortgaged his house to get his son into the competitive Go-Kart scene.
A working class kid now has the MOST WINS (92) in the history of one of the most privileged sports on the planet.
Incredible 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Lee Zii Jia
That interview was so painful to watch but it’s an important reminder of athletes and their humanity. For far too long, people have hid under the veil of ‘criticism’ to abuse him, vilify him, question his patriotism/desire, mock his attitude.
And this is all done
That final set was painful to watch.
But a quick reminder that Lee Zii Jia is 23. He’s only getting started.
This is important, given the amount of unforced errors he committed. With experience, he’ll reduce it drastically.
Onwards and upwards ✊🏽
Rib pain? What pain? Shah Firdaus is through to the quarter-finals like an absolute mentality monster!
Massive, massive moment. He needed to respond, and that’s EXACTLY what he did.
Azizul and Shah both to race in the QF tomorrow 💯
9.402 saat, The Pocket Rocketman pecah rekod kebangsaan milik sendiri 9.523 saat dan rekod Asia sebelum rekod Asia dipecahkan pelumba Jepun Ota Kaiya. Steady Dato! 🔥

Flowers for Shah Firdaus 💐
Athletes spend decades trying to find a moment that defines them. But this man, at the age of 25 has already done that.
Bigger, better things await him in the years to come, but nobody will forget the genesis of a mentality monster in Shizuoka.
🥲❤️
We sometimes forget just how much athletes put into a specific target, into a specific dream. It takes a lot out of them, for durations that you and I will shudder at even the sheer thought of it.
Stand tall Farah. You’ve paved the way for so many future dreamers. ✊🏽
I don’t know man. You work so hard for years, get to the Olympics, crash and scathe yourself in the Heats of your best event and hurt your ribs?
That’s enough to kill even the best of spirits. To get back on the bike, push the way he did and still get to the QF?
Shah Firdaus ✊🏽
Wooi Yik is 23. Aaron is 24.
These two young boys shouldered the hopes of a nation and a community that’s been beaten down and left emotionally exhausted over the last 18 months
Through the ups and downs, they weathered the storm to bring it home. You can see in their tears ❤️
How do you even process that race if you were Azizul? Just how? Before you could even react, before anyone could react, Jason Kenny was pulling an Usain Bolt on two wheels. And he just kept going for three straight laps.
Madness
Given everything that’s transpired in Malaysia over the last 18 months, can you imagine how emotional it will be if we were to win our first ever Olympic gold medal?
A spark of joy in the midst of these exhausting, dark times.
Make us dream? ❤️
Ultras Malaya was formed after Malaysia’s disastrous Asia Cup campaign in 2007.
Tonight, they posed the ultimate question. Will Malaysia seize Asian Cup qualification on merit for the first time since 1980?
The next two hours will provide answers....
Apa la masalah fanbois and fangirls Zii Jia ni. Just because someone takes a win, doesn’t mean they played the game of their lives.
Criticisms aren’t always cloaked in negativity.
Frontale have won four of the last five J.League titles. Ulsan won the AFC Champions League in 2020.
This was a heavyweight group and
@OfficialJohor
have come out it as Group winners.
Absolute MADNESS
Brendan Gan not getting a single minute against two physically superior and aggressive teams.
Darren Lok, who has been ever present under KPG in the last two years, getting just 45 minutes.
Not really sure what to make of these calls.
Tan Boon Heong on

Johor Darul Ta’zim are in the knockout stages of the AFC Champions League
KL City and Kedah are now in the knockout stages of the AFC Cup
Malaysia, truly Asia 😍
This is Ziyad Zolkefli’s world and we’re all just living in it.
Smashed the world paralympic record more than once. Murdered the national able-bodied record. Second Gold medal. Brought us joy in 2016. Does it again in 2021.
The lightning, after all, does strike twice. ⚡️
“Faisal, we are with you. Get well soon”
From Manchester to Malaysia. A show of solidarity from Andre Onana and Alejandro Garnacho dedicated to Malaysian footballer, Faisal Halim, who recently fell victim to a horrifying acid attack.
This might feel small to many but it felt so surreal playing this last night.
Most of us have been playing football video games for over 15-20 years now but the magic is different when you get to pick your own national team.
❤️
De Paula is 1.85m but Syafiq Ahmad did so much more for us aerially in the final third.
There’s a lot to unpack from the game obviously, but I don’t think it’s harsh to say that De Paula’s entrance diluted our threat upfront.
Indonesia have truly had an incredible Asian Cup campaign.
Got a win
Scored in every single game
Went toe to toe with Japan and Iraq without fear
And so many of these boys are still young!
So, so proud man.
Azizul’s DSQ put all the spotlight on Shah and he took it all into his stride like an absolute champ.
Blazed through the quarters, squeezed through the semis and gave it a real good go in the final. Shouldered the hopes of a nation and showed up ✊🏽
The silkiest Seven. Right foot built in heaven. Manchester’s football giant, Victoria’s fashion savant.
To me, to you, to everyone we know, to the whole world, David Beckham is and will always be a cultural juggernaut.
What a day! Big, big shoutout to

for making
Inspired by Japan, here's how Bojan Hodak and Hairuddin Omar's Malaysian U19 squad left their dressing room after the 2-0 win over Cambodia today.
You gotta start somewhere 👏👏
Three years ago, Perak were playing Champions League play-off games in South Korea
Today, they’re languishing at the bottom of the 2nd tier and fans are collecting donations to help pay debt/outstanding salaries.
THIS is why fans lose trust in the Malaysian football system
That’s what Darren Lok offers you. That’s what he brings to the team.
That’s why he should always be one of the first few names on the team sheet
Miki was sensational with that finish. But that goal doesn’t happen without Darren’s press.
We see you
@DarrenLok
✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
A hard reset.
Bolasepak Malaysia bukan setakat perlukan structural, financial, economical reset, but it also needs a long, hard emotional reset.
It’s a soulless game at the moment, in this country.
I think years down the line, we’ll look back at this Harimau Malaya period and remember just how consistently Corbin-Ong has been for the national team.
His tactical awareness, ability to bomb up and down the flanks, domination of aerial duels etc. His consistency is admirable
Darren Lok has struggled for game time, respect and recognition since moving to Malaysian football in 2016.
So, so happy to see him score in front of a packed Bukit Jalil Stadium that absolutely adores the man and the player he has become.
So, so happy for
@DarrenLok
!
I don't know man, even seeing this photo sent shivers down my spine. How long have we waited for this? Every major tournament, we end up being spectators.
This time around, we're supporters of a nation that's competing in Asia's most prestigious football tournament on merit.
Day 1 @ Doha, Qatar 💛🖤 🇲🇾
Inilah bas yang disediakan untuk skuad Harimau Malaya di sepanjang kempen Piala Asia 2023 ini.

Just let the boy go in January, don’t do this to him, man. Let him leave, let him flourish elsewhere.
Holding back a talent like VDB is criminal at this point.

@bazlyazmi
has been telling Lee Hup Wei’s stories for the last 15 years. Through the ups and downs
Today, he didn’t just tell Hup Wei’s final Olympic story. He also thanked Hup Wei for the journey, on behalf of all of us
Powerful. Tears will be rolling down, all day long. ❤️🥲
Some thoughts on last night.
Itu bukan gambaran sebenar pasukan kita. Semalam, kita berdepan dengan dua masalah besar:
1) Kesilapan percaturan (taktikal set-up dan pilihan pemain)
2) Kegugupan pasukan in the first 30 minutes
Jom explore sikit
Hadi Yahya + Manaf Mamat + Ashari Samsudin
43 league goals in 2011. Amongst the deadliest trio ever seen in Malaysian football.
The streets will never forget.
Lee Zii Jia is not an extension of Lee Chong Wei. He’s not a compensation in our two decade-long quest for an Olympic gold with Chong Wei.
Zii Jia is a man of his own. And his journey deserves the same respect we afforded LCW, right at the dawn of his.
There’s a collective sense of fatigue after that game, and it’s fatigue carried from the LCW era.
We must be careful in not letting this fatigue dominate LZJ’s journey. He’s not responsible for our past.
This is now his journey. For us, a new journey too.
I know politics isn’t driven by logic and sense but we live in a country that actually voted out one of its best people. I don’t think I will ever be able to digest that.
I don’t care about the outcome. All I wanted was to see us play some football. And go back to the structure and players that carried us over the last two years.
And boy did we play some football with all the heart and soul you can find. ❤️✊🏽
Dear
@ultrasmalaya07
, thank you for always being there for the team, even before the Suzuki Cup.
But, THANK YOU for turning Bukit Jalil into a FORTRESS in the last one month. Souls were rattled. Hairs were left standing.
One final battle in Hanoi. Once more into the fray.
#Ekor
What a glorious night for Malaysian football man. KL City with a defensive masterclass for almost 90 minutes. They LEFT everything on the pitch. And they’ve scored three goals despite barely having 22% of the ball possession.
Proper smash and grab win. Absolutely insane.
In the midst of this hysteria and genuine joy, do not forget what Tan Cheng Hoe did for the boys and gave us Malaysian football fans
Kim Pan Gon’s work is a continuation of the foundations laid by TCH. And it’s supremely important for us to write this chapter with him in it
History made for Indonesia!
Vicariously enjoying this incredible result, nothing beats the rush of ecstasy and adrenaline that’ll be flowing through every single Indonesian football fan tonight.
Terbang tinggi, Sang Garuda Muda! Into the semis ✊🏽
You bring on two players, put them on penalty duties with their feet barely warmed up. And Saka as final spot kick taker?
England’s problems in this game were bigger than spot kicks. But when it gets to penalties, you’ve gotta at least make sensible calls
Disebalik kegilaan game malam tadi, aku nak pay tribute kat 3 orang ni.
LTK, ZAH & Subra. Probably one of the most fun shows I’ve ever done. Before show pun dah rancak berbicara, apatah lagi waktu show. Raw, honest, opinionated.
Terima kasih semua yang menonton! ❤️
Some of ya’ll laugh. But this is a more realistic approach to go up against a team like JDT.
PDRM were smart, played to their strengths and only lost by a goal. It could’ve been a draw on another day.
They didn’t get smashed like Selangor, Sabah and Kedah.
This will always be the defining Nketiah clip for me. The genesis of his renaissance. An example of why he has stepped into the shoes of Jesus seamlessly.
It’s a testament to his character and the dressing room that Arteta has built.
My heart breaks for Pandelela. That first dive would have killed her on the inside. She’ll know that’s the end of it. To get your hopes for a medal absolutely quashed after just one dive, that will really hurt.
🥲💔
JDT vs their three ‘supposed’ challengers
4-0 win vs Selangor
4-0 win vs Sabah
6-0 win vs Kedah
14 goals scored. 0 conceded.
Season’s officially done and dusted.
FT | 🇵🇸 Palestine 4️⃣-0️⃣ Philippines 🇵🇭

This is the biggest thing JDT have accomplished. It trumps all the Liga Super titles, all the domestic trophies, it even beats the AFC Cup triumph.
It beats everything.
Arrived in KLIA2 at 9.30am for an 11.50am flight.
Checked in bags, went through immigration, only to find out flight has been delayed to 4.00PM
Well done

. An entire day wasted in this clusterfuck of an airport. 👏🏽
Heroes. Your silver medal at the Rio Olympics gave us a collective sense of happiness, pride and belonging that doesn’t come very easily.
It was priceless. And we will always be grateful for that. Always
Onwards and upwards ✊🏽

Shahrul Saad has been so fucking impressive tonight. Not an easy task to mark Leandro Damiao (23 goals/9 assists in J League last season) but he’s kept the Brazilian at bay for large parts of this game.
So happy for him man. What a player!
Semifinalists in their first ever Olympics. Nobody expected them to go this far. Some of stuff we saw in that first set was ridiculous
In many ways, it’s encouraging that we’ve got young boys pulling the strings. Aaron, Wooi Yik and even LZJ
Deep breaths. The future is here 💪🏽
Can you see the difference with & without Syafiq Ahmad?
With his work rate, link-up play, pressing, positional awareness, he’s easily one of the best all-rounded players we’ve produced in a while.
Brendan aside, Syafiq would be my favourite M’sian player in the last decade.
Thailand scored 7 goals vs Timor Leste, 4 goals vs Indonesia, 1 vs the Philippines and 3 vs Singapore.
15 goals in 4 games.
Tonight, our boys limited them to a mere few chances and no goals. That's a positive worth talking about.
Malaysian football is petty, childish and exhausting. And it banks on us, ignoring all those things, out of love for the identities/cultures associated to the teams/national team.
Hari hari, rasa macam diperbodohkan. But we still show up.
24 hours later, and the thought of what happened to Faisal Halim is still sending shivers down my spine.
Cannot begin to even imagine how it must feel for him and his closed ones. 💔
Tan Cheng Hoe’s Malaysia played the best football I’ve ever seem our national team play, between 2017-2019.
For that, I will always be grateful. Thank you for everything, Tan Cheng Hoe.

Junior Eldstal
Over five years ago, he left the sport and retired; claiming he had fallen out of love with football. There was also a slipped disc injury. After five years in football, Junior prematurely ended his career.
What followed after that was a period of struggle,
This is quite the story isn’t it.
Didn’t get a single minute at Terengganu II. Sent on loan to UiTM. What does he do on his debut?
Score a hat-trick against his parent club, the very team that sent him out on loan 🤣
