What do I have in mind when I see starbol, football match between Indonesian all star vs. international (foreign player who played in Indonesia) all star.

When I watch the "starbol" game this afternoon, i do realize that our football team ability is still below our expectation.

Most of Indonesian supporters now think that their team has improved well since the foreign coach from Austria, Mr. A.R, are ordained to maintain the Indonesia national team. in my point of view, it's true, we do improved, we become better than before. Moreover, we can say that the Indonesian football team finally found their playing rhythm. But still, we are so far away from “well done”.

The question is, why we can’t be like Japan football team? Or china? Or Arab? Why do they can be the symbol of Asian football? Why do we can’t be like that? Or even more than them?

Statistically Indonesian is the third Asian nation who has the highest population level. But it seems so hard to have, to train, to select, to facilitate 20 young people to be able to play hard and speak aloud in international football competition. The fact that Indonesia’s position in international world rank of football is 130 make worse condition of our national team clearer to everyone, every nation in this world.

Some expert said that it is because the nationalism and patriotism in our team members is decrease. Well, is it true? In my opinion, maybe it’s true. Nationalism and patriotism of Indonesian now become one of the rare characteristics which Indonesian people have. So, the main question for you, readers, for your homework, for you to think deeply, do you categorized as someone who has a huge nationalism and patriotism for your own country?
