I wondered how many other souls would join me, but actually there were just over 10,000 there which was surprising really as it was pretty much a meaningless game.
The most remarkable thing about the match was the stature of the Malaysians alongside their much taller counterparts. At times it literally looked like 'men versus boys' and the score pretty much reflected that with two goals apiece by Josh Kennedy and Alex Brosque with a fifth by Luke Wiltshire
In truth it could have been 5 or 10 more. Australia were overly cautious and their finishing woeful at times. Still it was good to see a hatful of goals and the small but noisy Malaysian contingent didn't seem to be that upset by the result. I think the biggest cheer went to the referee who fell over somewhat comically at the end of the match. It was that kind of game.
Canberra has been trying to get a team in the 'A League' (the national football competition) for the last 3 or 4 years without any success, I'm not really sure whether this turn out adds or detracts from their efforts.

Maybe Wolves could get a game with Maylasia Trev :)
