To those who are claiming that the AzKals run in the recent 2010 AFF Suzuki Cup is chamba, could they explain the technical details of their conclusions?
Yes, there is chamba in football but it is mostly pure skills, hardwork and talent...
If you get a goal in football, then it is by skills and hardwork. Ang laki ng goal mouth sa football ahh, if you hit the crossbar or upright when you shoot, its just a plain and simple miss. No more, no less...
I'll give you an example of Chamba...
2010 Suzuki Cup AzKals vs Singapore:
Duric's goal is chamba! Why?
The ball should have been out for a corner but it "luckily" stops near the goal line(Jonsson stop chasing it) and Shah recovered, tried to drill it towards the goal, Neil blocks it but "luckily or unluckily for us" it bounced to the far post and Duric's head was there. So a goal...
1-0 to Singapore
The AsKal equalizer is not chamba since it is the result of Singapore's defensive lapse and AzKals perseverance. C. Greatwitch goal is a sure shot. It comes from an assist, it did not bounce on any player and goes straight to goal.
Another example of chamba:
2010 Suzuki Cup AzKals vs Indonesia (SF Leg 1)
The Uruguayan's goal is chamba. Why?
Sure, it is the result of Etheridge flapping and Jonsson leaving his mark. But the ball hits the post and bounced inside the goal.
If the "pektos" of the is in the other direction, it would not have gone in...
If the "pektos" of the ball is a little bit slower, it would not have gone in...
If the ball bounced a little harder, it would not have gone in...
If the ball bounced on the post just a few angle off, it would not have gone in...
If an AzKal defender would have just the presence of mind to stand near the far post in that situation, it could have been cleared out.
But as luck would have it, all those variables conspired to make the ball goes inside the goal... So its pure plain chamba
2010 Suzuki Cup AzKals vs Indonesia (SF Leg 2)
The Uruguayan's first shot is deflected of a defender while Neil dives anticipating the ball's direction and luckily for them and again unluckily for us, the rebound lands again near the Uruguayan's foot and there goes the second shot. Even Iker Casillas can't stop it. But that shot is no longer chamba, it's pure skills on the Uruguayan. So to cap it, it was luck who made that second shot possible but without the skills he could not have placed it on the far corner of the goal...
