no Jasper. The tv was on but I was doing something else. I think I heard Escobar said there used to be a 15 player limit but this time they allowed the thais to have more players. Im not sure though if I heard it right. Thats why I asked here if someone can confirm
The time I win the lottery is the time when Alaska lends all its players requested by Tab.

these games happen.. remember china kids vs. india? good thing we won against thailand, unlike the chinese who lost to india..
there are 3 things i ponder..
1. either gilas cadets are out of shape, and i am not talking about physical shape, but gameday shape
2. gilas cadets are out of focus
3. tab baldwin is a bad choice to coach a bunch of younglings.. i do feel tab baldwin relies on veterans..
Maybe not a bad choice, probably more things to develop as a team for cadets.
This is the first valid criticism that Tab rightfully should receive. Bad preparation and lethargic start. And our players' game mentality was simply not there at the beginning.
I still believe that youth teams should be sent to the SEA Games. This one good(or fluke) performance by the Thais does not reflect the entire competition in SEA. The rest are still not very good. We should question if Thailand's performance is sustainable and can we expect that they will perform as strong as they did against us in future competitions? This should have been the gold medal game and the Thais could have gotten a silver but I would say that their plan backfired and they will have to settle for a bronze finish.
They needed to hide their players to surprise us. That was their plan. If they performed much better at the start of the tournament then we could have scouted them and prepared a lot better.
Let's not forget we can also play this way. We can hide our players and surprise anyone of them. But we don't. We use all our players against SEA teams. Easier to scout us.
Two things that we should learn from this game is that we need preparation and always have proper game mentality. Scouting might not be there because teams can hide their players. Regardless of the team we send in SEA(Team A, pro team, hybrid), it doesn't matter, this game against the Thais would still have been close because we took it for granted. In a way, this serves as a wake-up call -- but let's not get carried away.
