What's in Singapore's favour is that the fighting spirit of the 2010 YOG squad is intact and firmly with Tardy's team.

IF the 2010 Youth Olympic Games (YOG) team which did Singapore proud had been kept fully intact, we could have raised significantly our expectations for the nation's first South-east Asian Games football gold medal.
But no, the team's captain Jeffrey Lightfoot and many of his brave boys who won a YOG bronze medal on home soil with some heroic displays have gone their separate ways, and Singapore is yet again left wondering when it can create football history.
The consolation, though, is that five players of that promising young side have remained active and are in coach Richard Tardy's current SEA Games squad.
