Indonesia Is The Story!

With so much happening in Indonesia I've been overlooking events in Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand who have all recently kicked off their seasons.

It's worth pointing out here that the Indonesia Super League and the Divisi Utama, the official leagues, are in their mid season break. The fact that I'm getting so much from the Liga Primer Indonesia says alot about the people who run the game. I contact clubs or officials and they get back to me and are happy to accommodate a lard arsed English guy who turns down their offer of water and asks for beer.

It was only a few weeks ago that I was approached by an official at a Divisi Utama game who looked at me suspicioulsy and wanted to know what I was doing at the game! He said that if I was from the LPI I would have to leave!

And therein lies a major cultural difference between the two leagues. The PSSI is run by political types who shun publicity and treat outsiders with suspicion while the LPI is run by eager young folk who have grown up with the internet and foreign travel and know a thing or two about how things should work.
