Nowdays, one thing that the Malaysian team never had to worry about during the tournament was support from this fanatic group. The Ultras Malaya lived up to their reputation by being ever-present at all of the Malayan Tigers’ matches.

The numbers have been rising steadily for Ultras Malaya, which was formed in October 2007 by a handful of frustrated Team Harimau fans. Back then, the national team was thrashed 5-1 (by China), 5-0 (Uzbekistan) and 2-0 (Iran) and finished bottom of the group during the AFC Asian Cup, which Malaysia co-hosted.

The wheels has been set in motion with Ultras Malaya preparing for a Tifo routine at the Curva in Stadium Bukit Jalil. You are bound to spot these fans in the stands, especially with their preferred uniform of black and yellow T-shirts and scarves.

Vietnam came from behind to beat Malaysia through Vo Huy Toan & Nguyen Van Quyet in a faced paced & exciting encounter in the Semi Final 1st Leg of the 2014 AFF Suzuki Cup in Shah Alam. It finished 2-1 to the visitors and a mammoth task awaits Harimau Malaya in the second leg of the semi-final in Hanoi this coming 11 December. Plenty of work has to be done by Malaysian Coach, Dollah Salleh and his coaches, if they still harbour any hopes of reaching the final.

Herewith some from last night.

Pix of Malaysian supporters the Ultras Malaya, during AFF Suzuki Cup Semi Final 1 match between Malaysia and Vietnam at Shah Alam Stadium on Dec 7, 2014.

Herewith my prediction. Its just for fun only. I just make it as much that I saw their line up and also depending on their latest news. And the most important is the previous WC history and the qualification performances. But still its only my prediction. World Cup 2014 will be for Brasil, 2nd will be Netherlands and Germany will be at 3rd place.

BTW the first match between Brasil and Crotia is not included. This prediction only done today while we a waiting for the Mexico vs Cameron, Spain vs Netherland (dont miss this game!!) and Chile vs Australia.

During the friendly game between Malaysian and Philippines, the match had to be stopped for eight minutes after the Ultras Malaya started to fire the flares after the 30 minute games time of the first half.

Referee Mohd Amirul Izwan Yaacob was forced to stop the match in the 31st minute for eight minutes due to this incendent. It is believed that the ‘Ultras Malaya’ fans had let off the flares to register their protest against the 30-year reign of Pahang Sultan, Sultan Ahmad Shah, as the FAM president.
