Last match of 2017 against Bahrain
Singapore will take on Bahrain at the National Stadium on Tuesday, Nov. 14, in an Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup Group E qualifier.
This will be the Singapore's final game of the year.
The Football Association Singapore's press release ahead of the Bahrain game -- like its previous statement that insisted our national team is actually improving despite the realities of the multitudinous setbacks of the sport -- was again unusually perky and upbeat:
Despite encouraging results like the 0-0 draw with Bahrain earlier in the year, Singapore have not been able to claim a win in 2017 after playing against quality opponents like Argentina, Qatar and Lebanon.
A win against Bahrain will be a bit too much to ask for, with the visitors in need of a win to secure their place in the premier tournament.
