The Merdeka Cup
The Merdeka Cup in Malaysia is an annual event which was won last year by the hosts who beat Myanmar 3-1 in the final.
This time around it is being played in October and will feature eight nations. According to the Star these are the confirmed participants:
Malaysia, Sierra Leone, Myanmar, Vietnam, Nepal, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. By my pisspoor adding that makes seven. Indonesia have cleared October of ISL fixtures to take part in this so perhaps the Star sports editor just omitted them from the list. Or perhaps thay just ain't coming?
Kazakhstan have yet to confirm their participation while Pakistan are on hold in case someone drops out.
Which happens.
So where does this leave Indonesia?
