(post on behalf cloudmuse - a bit backdated my fault.)
Even as the people crammed into the National Stadium for the game between Singapore and M'sia, united as one spirit (hmm, maybe "united as one" sounds better), the same unity is fostered in virtual space.It seems that STOMP was abuzz with comments on the football game too. Well, if you can't join them at the stadium, join them in spirit in cyberspace!So perhaps football is a unifying force even in cyberspace?

STOMP users add to football mania
FOOTBALL fever is well and truly back in Singapore.Just as the National Stadium was packed with 55,000 fans cheering on the Lions yesterday, Internet chatrooms here were also buzzing.The Straits Times' interactive portal, Stomp, had more than 50 comments, with fans discussing Singapore's penalty shootout win over rivals Malaysia.Said Sengleng: 'Our team had put everything on the line for this. Hope they can do the same for the finals. Let the world know our soccer team is not a failure.'
Added Spleenboy: 'Wow! I never really enjoyed soccer but I sure am proud of our team.'
