MUNICH 1972
FOR the first time in the history of Malaysian football, the national team – comprising the likes of M. Chandran, Soh Chin Aun, Wong Kam Fook, Shaharuddin Abdullah, Wong Choon Wah, Namat Abdullah, Lim Fung Kee, Ali Bakar and several others – played at the Olympics. Malaysia were drawn in Group A with West Germany, Morocco and the USA.
After losing to the Germans 0-3 in the opening game, Malaysia bounced back to beat the Americans 3-0. But their campaign ended prematurely after being thrashed 6-0 by Morocco.
The football team qualified for the Olympics a second time – Moscow 1980 – but did not take part as Malaysia was part of a US-led boycott to protest against the Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan.

Wow!!.. itulah Harimau Malaya yang paling digeruni pada ketika itu.
Sedang sibuk-sibuk mencari artikel, terjumpa artikel yang menarik minat saya untuk dikongsi bersama rakan-rakan. Kebetulan pula projek yang akan dijalankan berkaitan dgan artikel ni.
Tahniah kepada ex-footballers kita yang berjaya mengagungkan nama Malaysia di mata dunia ketika itu.. dan sekarang mampukah lagi ianya menjadi satu lagi catatan sejarah buat negara kita di sukan olimpik...
Dan mungkin masa PC yang akan datang nak mintak Tabah tolong tanyakan apa perasaan mereka apabila tak dapat beraksi di Moscow 1980.
Kecewa kah mereka???????????
Pandangan Kawan-kawan?
Bukan satau kejaayn yang mudah untuk dapat bertanding di temasya sebegini.. Satu persoalan yang amat bagus diatanyakan kepada para pemain ini.
