the only undefeated team in the sleague. SAF was lucky to go away with a point in a match that was dominated by home united especially in the second half. home could have definitely won the match if not for the cross bar and some (well, actually most home united fans) say the referee! nevertheless, it was SWEET, SO SO SO SWEEEEEEET, to come back from 2 goals down in the span of FIVE MINUTES. POWER MAN!
If our players can sustain this fighting spirit and never say die attitude till the end of season, there's no doubt that home united will be the champion in the 2008 sleague season. THANKS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT FROM ALL THE FANS OUT THERE. and remember, our next match is a home game against Balestier Khalsa on the 26th of April, this coming saturday. hope to see you there!
WELL DONE PROTECTORS. THE FANS ARE ALWAYS BEHIND YOU! (:

First Game - First Win
The final score 2-1.
All actions were in the first half within a span of about 20minutes. Kengne scored the first goal just 20mins into the game. But a foul in the box gave Dalian a chance to make a miraculous come back - and true enough 18-year-old Wang Liang calmly slotted in the penalty to make the score 1-1 just past the half hour mark. But just as
First win for the season! A good start!

victory robbed from home's hand?
well, it was clear that home played a better game. we dominated both halves but why the outcome? home deserved to win, but because of the crucial penalty given to SAF at the 86th minute, we were robbed of our victory. even the SAF coach Richard Bok said, and i quote from the sleague website, "I felt we were very lucky to win today. Home played much better for most of the game."
anyway, it's alright if we didn't win today's game, cause now, the other teams know that home is the team to watch out for this sleague season.
PS: impressive football by home's new signings! watch out for both Valery Hiek and Naruphol Romsawa. of course, not forgetting every football player at home united, they were IMPRESSIVE as always. (:

SOCCER
Indra is the first Singaporean to try out for MLS
By Leonard Lim
HE RETURNED from Saudi Arabia last Friday expecting to start pre-season training with Home United, in preparation for an onslaught on this year's S-League title.
But, within hours of touching down, Indra Sahdan Daud learnt he could be taking aim at a much bigger target.
The national captain leaves tomorrow night to join American Major League Soccer (MLS) side Real Salt Lake for a 10-day training camp and trial in Miami, Florida.
The striker is the first Singaporean to undergo trials with an MLS team, and also the second national player to try his luck abroad in two months.
Goalkeeper and club-mate Lionel Lewis had a training stint with English Premier League club Manchester City and a one-week trial with Switzerland's Grasshopper Zurich, but failed to land a contract.
Apart from training with Real Salt Lake's first team, Indra - who was part of the team that lost 0-2 to Saudi Arabia in a World Cup third-round qualifier last Wednesday - will also play in several friendlies.
If the Utah-based club deem the 28-year-old suitable, they will offer him a contract for the 2008 season, which kicks off late next month.
The S-League season starts on Monday, so Indra will miss Home's first two matches against Dalian Shide (Feb 21) and Tampines Rovers (Feb 27).
But Home coach P.N. Sivaji said the marksman had the support of the club, who were runners-up last year to Singapore Armed Forces FC.
'It's a once-in-a-lifetime chance,' said the former national coach.
Yes, he could be on the same pitch with the likes of former England captain David Beckham (Los Angeles Galaxy) and Danny Dichio (Toronto FC), who played in the Premier League with Queens Park Rangers and also had a stint with Sampdoria in Italy.
He will also etch his name in the history books alongside household names Fandi Ahmad and V. Sundramoorthy.
The former Singapore stars plied their trade overseas with the Netherlands' Groningen and Switzerland's Basel respectively in the 1980s.
Said Indra, the S-League's Young Player of the Year in 1999 and 2000, yesterday: 'I've always dreamt of playing abroad one day and, now, the opportunity has come.
'They were actually trying to contact me when I was in the Middle East with the Lions, but my mobile phone wasn't turned on.'
He will be paying for his own airfare, with some help from sponsor Nike. 'I'd like to thank Nike and my club for their support,' he said.
Once there, his accommodation and meals will be paid for by Real Salt Lake.
Described by some as South-east Asia's most-lethal finisher, Indra has scored 24 goals in 86 appearances for the Lions. He has also scored against the likes of Manchester United (in 2001), Uruguay (2002) and Japan (2004).
According to his agent, Dave Roberts, it was this enviable record, plus the striker's turn of pace, bravery and experience, that attracted Real Salt Lake's interest.
The club, who finished sixth in the Western Conference last year, currently have five strikers. But the oldest is American Kyle Brown, a mere 24 years old.
Said Roberts, a former S-League referee: 'When you see Indra's scoring record, that's as good a professional record as you can get anywhere in the world.
'Now, they want to see if he can perform at that level in America.
'It's a great opportunity for him and for Singapore football.'
