INDONESIA FOR FIFA WORLD CUP?

Indonesia???? How can we make "Indonesia Raya" singing and shouting in the world.. Now, one of the greatest sport events in the world happens. FIFA WORLD CUP 2010 in South Africa has begun and it has also reached the second round, but also we can't see Indonesian footballer shoot the Jabulani. WHY????

Let us see for the rank of FIFA Soccer, according to the FIFA Rank released in May 2010, Indonesia was in the 137th rank in the world and for the AFC, Indonesia is in 23 for all Asians, above Turkmenistan and below Tajikistan. For the details, the best rank for Indonesia was 76 released in September 1998 and the worst was 153 released in December 2006 and the average rank is 111.

And then, the way in FIFA WORLD CUP 2010 QUALIFICATION, Indonesia was beaten at the second round of qualification against Syria 11-1!!!! Unbelievable!!!. For the football, FIFA said firstly by the Englishman, Peter Withe, Indonesian was almost dangerous with the two dangerous duets, Bambang Pamungkas and Budi Sudarsono, but nowadays, after having so many defeats in the final round, Indonesian has lost their spirits, and with the new managers from Bulgaria, Ivan Kolev, Indonesian hasn't changed also, with the one winning against Bahrain in the Asian Cup 2007, Indonesian can' afford their match against Saudi Arabia and South Korea. And, with the new manager from Indonesia, Benny Dollo, Indonesian's getting worse!!!!

All of the predictors would think that Indonesian will face the World Cup 20 years later, it was also proven by the achievements from Kids World Cup, such as: Danone Nations Cup, Indonesian got the fourth-rank in the last Danone Nations Cup. And also, by so many Soccer Schools made for Indonesian young people, so Indonesian maybe is not only known as the one of the King of Asian Badminton but also for the Asian football. But, unfortunately, for the futsal, it's reversed, Indonesian placed 44 in the world rank, and nowadays they also won the last AFF Futsal Cup!!! Magic!!!

And, according to the Indonesian Minister of Sports and Youths, Andi Mallarangeng, Indonesia's targets for nowadays is only to win the SEAGAMES like what they have done before. But, for The World Cup, they just plan to make a training for Kids.....

Now, what we have to wait as the citizens is to wait, when Indonesian's flag will be spread in the World's biggest events "FIFA WORLD CUP 2010" like what Rio Haryanto (GP3 Formula Racer) and Chrisjon (WBF International Boxer) done to get the cups and let "Indonesia Raya" sung throughout the world. Let's Hope and Wait!!!!
