The national football team are in a sorry state, and we are sorry that Kim Pan Gon is Harimau Malaya coach.
As expected, the South Korean apologised to the fans and reminded the media to blame only him, not the players, for the 2-0 defeat to Oman in Tuesday's World Cup qualifier.
This recurring pattern or modus operandi of apologies from Pan Gon surfaces whenever Harimau Malaya face a setback.
Realistically, nobody expects Malaysia to qualify for the 2026 World Cup. However, there were hopes for the team to at least advance to the third round of the qualifiers for the first time, especially with the presence of naturalised players.
