Malaysia already lose to Singapore in Stadium Jalan Besar, Singapore. The next match, Malaysia lose again to Singapore in Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur. Malaysia failed to compete in World Cup 2014. What can I say?
Football at the 2012 Summer Olympics – Men's Asian Qualifiers Preliminary Round 3. Malaysia lose to Japan in the first match of Group C. No wonder Malaysia lose to Japan. Japan is a tough team because of the experience playing in the World Cup.

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia put up a gritty defensive display to restrict favourites Japan to a 2-0 win in their opening Group C Asian Zone final round Olympic qualifying match at the Tosu Stadium in Fukuoka Wednesday.
National Under-23 coach Ong Kim Swee had put his men through tough defensive drills in the run-up to this match.
However, it all came to nought in the 10th minute as Keigo Higashi scored to put Japan 1-0 up.
Japan continued to bombard the Malaysian goalmouth but were thwarted by some inspired goalkeeping by Khairul Fahmi Che Mat and some desperate defending.
The fast-tiring Malaysian defence finally cracked again in the 76th minute as Ryohei Yamazaki made it 2-0.
Malaysia's next two matches in Group C will see them entertaining Syria on Nov 23 and Bahrain four days later in Kuala Lumpur.
Match Result Malaysia vs Japan : 0-2.
Malaysia Team defense was gritty? However Japan is far better than Singapore so it's not bad to lose to a stronger and better team..Come on Malaysia, for the next match against Syria if do your best is not enough just do your bestest!
