It is clear that Singapore is a footballing nation in decline. This is not merely down to a small population or a shortage of talent or passion among the players. Uruguay, with a population of 3.4 million, has won two World Cups. It appears that it is the collective size of the footballers’ hearts, and not the objective number of citizens, that matters. A formidable soccer team can emerge only when there is a national passion for the sport and an efficient system of identifying, developing and retaining young talent.
