Football Mad Nation

The English Premiere League season 2006-2007 had just got off its foot. The Red Devils are currently the pace setters at the top of the league.
Many Malaysians follow the EPL more than the local league. In fact, Malaysian Airlines, Celcom and Airasia are major sponsors of the live telecast of matches over Astro. Hence, we are definitely a football mad nation who follow other nations league than our own.
The Prime Minister even used football as an analogy when questioned over his style of administration compared to the previous PM, Tun Mahathir. In the now imfamous interview over TV3, Pak Lah said "This is like playing football, hardly ten minutes and people have punished me. I'm just warming up and raising the tempo,".
Well, sorry to say this Pak Lah, It's ten minutes into the game and you're already 10-0 down...
