Congratulation Young Lion

WITH One day left to finish SEA Games competition, Myanmar stands no.7 in the overall medal tally. It's disappointing to see the result compare to 626 strong contingent. However, Myanmar's young lion grabbed a bronze medal from football competition. Last night, my wife and I was so much enjoying the atmosphere to witness our boys defeated regional football power Vietnam heavily. It's unbelievable to see our young boys lead by 4:0 till very last minute. Our people dearly hope to see them progress final match on last Saturday while they are playing with defending Champion Malaysia. They narrowly lost to Malaysia by 85min goal. They have reached beyond our expectation in this tournament and they deserve people's praise. I'm happy to learn that our tycoons have awarded them USD 150000 immediately after they won bronze medal match. They already collected USD 100000 from the group match winners. It's desperately need in our sport to encourage our talented young people if we are to dominate in 2013 SEA games. There is nothing to be granted without taking necessary efforts.

I hope our people would have been satisfied by our football bronze medal despite we are being down in other sport arena. At least we stand third in the football within ASEAN at the moment. This alone can make us happy I am sure. Congratulation our national football team for your tirelessly effort to make our nation proud. Wish you grab the gold in the next SEA games when we host the region's best talented athletes in 2013 at our brand new capital city, Napyidaw. Keep your composure as high as possible before that time.
