All About Indonesian Football

I get confused when I wanna wrote this article. Why? Because, talking about Indonesian football we will talk about many things! Like the football player, the supporter, the football officer, the game, etc…

And they are interesting to be a topic to talk. But, don’t worry guys…. I will tell you one by one just for you.

Andik, Diego, Gonzalez, and Bambang (from google.co.id)

Now, we’ll talk about the player! Wow… Indonesia has so many football players. There are from the state or from another country. And they are divided into some club in Indonesia. Andik Vermansyah is one of them. Andik is come from Jember, Indonesia. But he joined Persebaya (one of the Indonesian football club). He has good skill, he always disrupt the opponent’s defense. The opposite teams always think that Andik is dangerous for their defense. So they always make a tight defense for him. Besides Persebaya, Andik is including a player from The National Team of Indonesia. Besides Andik, we have Diego Michiels. Diego Michiels has cute face ^^ He has many fans because of it. I think, Diego’s skill is not too good and not too bad. Because, sometime he makes some mistake. He joined Persija and he is the football player of Indonesia’s National football team, but different team with Andik. Ahaha, I think you got confused about our football club! I’ll tell you later guys….

Ohya, I forget if Diego is Indonesian-Dutch football player. Next player is Christian “El Loco” Gonzalez. He comes from Uruguay! He has good skill. His accuracy to score is good too. He joined Persisam. He’s one of football player of Indonesia’s National football team. But also in different team with Diego and Andik :p Next… Bambang Pamungkas! Hahaha, I know this name from I was a child until now! Bambang is the best player in Indonesia. He always be the football player of Indonesia’s National football team. Give applause for him ^^

Timnas Senior (from google.co.id)

When we talk about the Indonesia football player, we always talk about the football club and the national football team of Indonesia. There are so many football clubs in Indonesia. There are Persebaya, Persib, Persibo, PSMS, Persisam, Persija, etc. Like in Europe, the name of club is the name of where it originates J . Persebaya is a club from Surabaya. Persija is a club from Jakarta. Persib is a club from Bandung, etc… if you want to know more about it, you can open this site: names of Indonesia football club but sorry, the language is in Bahasa L . Then about the national football team. Indonesia has some national football team. Why? Because it divided by the football player’s age. In Bahasa, the national team is Tim Nasional (Timnas). There are Timnas U-15 , Timnas U-19 , Timnas U-21 , Timnas U-23 , and Timnas Senior. Timnas U-15 is means if the football players are in 15 years old or more than 15 years old. Timnas U-19 is means if the football players are in 19 years old or more. It also use to Timnas U-21, Timnas U-23, and Timnas Senior. Andik Vermansyah joined the Indonesia’s national football team who is 21 years old (in Timnas U-21). Diego Michiels joined the Indonesia’s national football team who is 23 years old (in Timnas U-23). Then Bambang Pamungkas and Christian “El Loco” Gonzalez joined the Indonesia’s national football team which has been regarded as a senior in Indonesian football (in Timnas Senior).

The Faithful supporter (from google.co.id)

Football is nothing without supporter! Supporter is very important in the football matches. The supporter’s yell is take effect to the match, including the football player. Why would like that? Because supporter’s yell is make the football player re excited when they feel tired or etc. I ever watch a football match at football stadium near my home. The match is so alive! Because of supporter’s yell :D that’s my first experience to watch football match. Then Indonesian supporter is faithful with their lovely football club. Whenever and wherever their lovely football club has a match, they will follow them just to support. If one football club against another football club who has been the rival for long time, the supporter will have a conflict each other L BUT if the national football team of Indonesia has a match, they will be a BIG SUPPORTER who don’t have any conflict. Freak, right?

from google.co.id

The achievements of Indonesia national football team are not too good and not too bad. Sometimes when our team already qualified for the final, something bad is happen. Like, suddenly our team was lose or suddenly our team was not show their spirit like they was show at qualifying. I think, they always feel satisfied when they in final. Whereas they have get the trophy of the match yet. I’m so disappointed to them L

In AFF Cup 2010, Indonesia national football team already qualified for the final but something bad was happen. Indonesia was lose at that time from Malaysia. In Sea Games 2011, Indonesia already qualified for the final and we meet Malaysia again at that time. The people of Indonesia really want Indonesia national football team can revenge their defeat at AFF Cup, but we lose again L in Hassanal Bolkiah Trophy last month, we already qualified for the final AGAIN! But We Lose AGAIN L it’s bad, right? Indonesia is unlucky national football team L

I wish, Indonesia national football team can win a match one day and bring a trophy for the Faithful supporter in Indonesia :D Amin…..

I think is enough. Good bye, see you later on my new article J I'm sorry if my English is bad.

Talking about Indoesian football “sigh” -.-

Honestly I prefer to European Football than my country’s football. I lost the passion when I’m watching Indoesian football. When I watch the European football, I think each player in a team brings a magnet to get the ball from the friend, so the can make good combination games :D I’m just kidding.. Maybe it’s because of regularly training and good ability of each players.

Indonesia is one of corrupt country. In Indonesia, football is not naturaly about the games, but also politics. I don’t know what are the goverment officials want from football competitions. So it’s reasonable that Indonesia couldn’t be the champion in football competition even in regional area.

And talk about the fans, fans from popular clubs in the world seems more honored and manageble than 

Indonesian football clubs fans. I put attention at their performances (clothes and accesories) or even they don’t wear their t-shirt, and sometimes they don’t have any tickets to watch the match but they still enter the stadion. And I heard from my mom’s friend, at the last match in a stadion near my house the football fans took everything (plunder) from the sellers around the stadion, and the next match no sellers around the stadion because they were afraid if the lost their things for twice.

Indonesian Football

Football is one of my favorite sports, it’s really populist sports. Almost in every country have this sport. Actually, footballs in every country are different. But now I will tell you about football in my country.

Talking about Indonesian football, it’s very interesting to talk about this from another side. Sometimes I proud to watch the league but sometimes I feel strange because it’s really related with anarchy and unfair playing. I really want to see the match in the stadium but I’m afraid because usually after the match sometimes the brawls happen. It’s really making the audience not comfort with the match, sometimes the woman and the children.

I want to feel like in another country, they watch the match in a good way and didn’t make other mistakes and give disadvantages to other people. As an Indonesian citizen I want to see my country play in World Cup. But it happened some years ago maybe before I was born in this world.

I never heard another achievement that Indonesian reaches. I love to see the match when the National team plays for some games and I don’t like when the match for the football club in Indonesia. I don’t know why but it’s better if I watch the match like Premier League or La Liga. But not for Indonesian club.

Many people in Indonesia only care about their self, especially for people who manage the Indonesian football. They don’t care about the achievement that the team gets. They only care how they get money from the job. All of Indonesian people always wish the best for the national team. But many people that don’t know about football take the place to be the leader of Football Association of Indonesia. Actually to be the leader we must dominate the association / subject that we have. Indonesian people never think about the satisfied to watching football match.

Fanatic fans in Indonesia didn’t do their good attitude when they watch football. They make riot and dangerous thing in the match place. It’s really not good and makes people afraid.

My dreams are only one, I want Indonesian football get better and all of Indonesian people can enjoy it with nice situation.

Why of Why

It's always hard as an Indonesian to answer the question "what does Indonesian football like?" It's a very tough questions since football in Indonesia sucks. There are too much conflict, too many problems, too much interest, and too many naive people involve in the development of football.

I used to be a football lover. Though my favorite team was Manchester United and I always tuned in the English Premier League in 1996 until early 2000, I had much interest on Indonesian football during that year. I was so proud of our players and also the national league. I didn't remember quite well what achievement that our national team made but definitely the atmosphere of good developing football was present.

For the past few years our national team recruited players whose parent is Indonesian, half-blood Indonesian-westerner players. Most played in Netherlands. Those players then joined a selection program held by the Indonesia Football Association (PSSI) and if they succeed they will play for the national league and they will become Indonesian citizen. Next step they will play for Indonesia National Team. This is a fast way to get good players, but to me this program has limit the chance of  other national players, Indonesia origin players. They have to compete with those who has played for several seasons in the European league.

Another internal conflict inside the Indonesia Football Association, worsened the situation. The association chief  in charge was fought by other group and both tried to make their action legal by filing sue to the world football association (FIFA). The coup d'etat inside the association  broke and then other groups of people who named themselves the national football supporters were dueling to get the top position. Politicians, artist, public figure were all busy to save the Indonesian football. They have left a big question for me, were they really did all the effort to save the plummeting Indonesian football or they just did all the heroic action in the name of personal or group interest? Only God knows what has happened.

Those two big problems are just new problems. The classic problem of hooliganism hasn't been solved. Now i don't feel save in my own city during the football match. Fanatic supporters do vandalism in their own city and other cities too when the team has away game. Fanatic supporters are full of hatred, they marked the public places with humiliated and sarcastic words to other teams' supporters. These blind fanaticism to me is just as dangerous as terrorism. They terrorized other people just because their vehicle's license plate shows hated team's hometown. That's stupid. The fanatic supporters has set barriers, develop hatred, racism, and grow terror.

The players are also childish on the other hand. Not all but some. They don't respect the referee, the officials and players from other team. The kung fu kick, thai-boxing and others violence seems common in the league. They're failed to show what sportsmen should be. They don't have good attitude, what they do has made the supporters even wilder.

I dream about good football game, nice supporters, great achievements in the future. Football is treated as the same as politics now. It's the main talk show topic on TV, it's on TV almost every week end, it makes people stay at home and enjoy their leisure time in front of TV, and it makes people yell and scream in both happiness and disappointment. Big support and effort are needed to make Indonesian football much better in the future. If it's too much, then say a little bit better. Our team was great in the past. Supporters' courtesy were much better then they are now. I believe there will an answer of all this never ending problem. Let us all pray, that might be the only answer for now.

Football

we must have a strategy to play this game :)

Now I'll tell you about the most sport that very popular in the world ! Yeah, you're right !! It is football. Football is sport for men. Football is a team sport, so we must work together between players to be the winners. Fans of this sport is men. but now, woman also loves this sport. they loves this sport because the football players is handsome :D haha...

The leader of football is a referee. Number of referee is 3. 1 of them for holding of the game. 2 of them for linesman.  The number of football players is 11. Football played in a grassy field. The field is rectangle with size 91.4 x 54.8 meter. in two sides of field, there are two wickets. the wicket's size is 7,32 x 2,44 meter. Long of the game is 2x45 minutes, so the players must have good stamina :) But sometimes, the referee give extension of time.
Each of team has different clothes. every 4 years, there are a World Cup. World cup is inter-state football game. in 2010, the winners of World cup is Spain. damn....
last year, Indonesia didn't participate World cup. I hope in 2014, Indonesia can join it. :)

Cristiano Ronaldo

I want to tell you about my favourite football player .....
Every body loves him very much .........


Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro was born on Funchal, Madeira, Portugal in 5, February 1985. He is a Portugal footballer. Now he play in Spanish La Liga for club Real Madrid. . Ronaldo is the youngest child of Maria Dolores dos Santos Aveiro and Jose Dinis Aveiro. The name Cristiano Ronaldo have a meaning, Cristiano is because his mother want his son to be religious person and Ronaldo is taken from US President Ronald Reagan who is his father favourite actor. He has one olderbrother and two older sister, Elma and Liliana Catia.

At the first time be a football player, Ronaldo play in Andorinha club football in Portugal. He play in Andorinha starts from1993-1995. After that he played with local club Nacionalabout 1995-1997. Next after give winning for Nacional he moved to Sporting Clube de Portugal. He played about 1997-2001 and he appearances 25 times and 11 goals. He continue played in Sporting CP until 2003.

After that Sir Alex ferguson know his talent from the match that MU lose 3-0 with Sporting CP. Ferguson really want buy him from sporting CP. Ferguson need12,24 million Poundsterling. But Ferguson really lucky, he get Ronaldo that same with the price. Ferguson said that Ronaldo must use number 7 in MU because he is a talented football player. Ronaldo can show it to Old Trafford that he can make 84 goals in his 196 time appearances. And he can give trophy for MU to win Champions League. He played in MU about 6 years.

Ronaldo was welcome by 80.000 fans in Santiago Bernabeu. Before he move to Real Madrid, Sir Alex Ferguson don't want he move there because Ferguson really love Ronaldo. But Ferguson can forbid Ronaldo.

Beside  play football Ronaldo also be a model of some advertisementlike Emporio Armani, Nike, Castrol, Extra Joss etc. When he was 5 years old his father is passed away, it make him really need to feel love from father. He live with his Mother in Spain. At the first time his family are live in Portugal but now, they move to Madrid and stay in Ronaldo's villa.

Many people said that Ronaldo is playboy. That statement is true because he really almost change his girlfriend.

Irfan Bachdim

Irfan Haarys Bachdim is a football player. He's my favorite football player. He's handsome >,<
Many girls in Indonesia like him. He has cute smile. He's a dutch. He was born at Amsterdam, Netherland on August 11, 1988. Now He's about 22 years old.

He has black hair. He's tall. He has eyes that the colour like cat''s eyes, I think.He has pointed nose. He has white skin. He has tatto on right hand. I don't know the picture......
He has a girl friend. His girlfriend's name is Jennifer Kurniawan. Jennifer is german. Jennifer is sister of Kim Kurniawan, one of the Persema malang player.

O yeah, Irfan Bachdim has played with the National Team of Indonesia. his back number is 17. After played with the national team, suddenly He has a problem. Persema Malang came out from Indonesia Super League (ISL). So Persema moved Indonesia Primer League (IPL). LPI -in Indonesia- is illegal for PSSI. because that Irfan Bachdim can't play with national team of Indonesia. It's hard for Irfan, because his ambition in Indonesia is he wants to be a football player at the national team of Indonesia. but when press conference, he said if he choose persema. he desired to leave his ambition for Persema. You know, Persema is his first team in Indonesia that he enjoyed.
I think, now Irfan Bachdim has forgot his problem with PSSI. Because he always smiles and look cheerful when he will play football.

I like him because he's very handsome :) . I like his teeth. And now, I can see Irfan Bachdim everyday because now he appeared in a advertisement on TV. haha :D

it's his fashion after he make a score .....

THANK YOU..........
