The tickets are snapped up pretty fast, and it will be a full house tomorrow. Lucky there will be a live telecast for the semi-final match Singapore vs Haiti, at 8:40pm Singapore time.Bolivia thrashed Haiti 9-0 in the Youth Olympic Games boys' football tournament at Jalan Besar Stadium on 16 Aug. The local fans cheered for the Haiti boys when they came back to beat Vanuatu 2-1 in their last group match.
Hit by a 7-magnitude earthquake in January this year, which killed an estimated 300,000 people, made 1.6 million people homeless and left their country's capital Port au Prince, in ruins, Haiti were a late replacement for Cuba the YOG football competition. Singapore welcomes the brave Haiti athletes, they hope to rebuild their country by giving a good performance and bring smiles to their countrymen. Results doesn't matter, by travelling all the way here (hard to get funding) and taking part is already an amazing achievement.
My prediction is a win for Singapore.
