Interesting it talks about a joint Aus/Indonesia World Cup bid, should imagine our owners will be involved in that, if it was successful I could see a few more Dutch players with Indonesian heritage here.

They just awarded the 2034 World Cup uncontested to Saudi Arabia.

Asia therefore won't be eligible to host for two more cycles. So the earliest Indonesia could possibly host the World Cup is 2046.

Bit early to start prepping for that!

Might be worth looking at the credentials of Indonesian couples having kids in the next year or 2 then.

Head High Celebration from Oxford Boys 😎

My opinion for his performance against Bahrain :

The Positive : It really nice to see Lino's performance as Attacking Midfielder who play behind Ole Romeny, sometimes wider to the right as Right Winger, 1 assist for Ole. Maybe someday when GR think Lino is ready, we can see that combination in OU's squad 🤞

The negative : 1 very bad miss that could give 2nd Goal, or he could simply pass the ball to Ole who unguarded and very free.

*Damn....this X's admin really creative, put CR7 as comparison 😁

I hope you don't mind i post story like this, still related with the player







The story : After match between Indonesia-Bahrain as usual, already became habit, after the match players will walk around stadium to meet their family, and thanks the fans for their endless supports.

One kid caught Lino's attention with banner Marselino May I have your jersey....so he is more than happy and willing to give his jersey that he used in that match to that little boy. Before he threw the jersey he made code to other supporters that the jersey for the little boy....but one shameless adult assh0le without felt guilty took the jersey and walk away....( Clip 1 )

The story not ended here....Lino also posted in his IG with his official mineral water sponsor asked netizen to tracked this litte boy and promise this little boy he will get his jersey ( clip 2 )

And also since for get the ticket every supporters must join official ID of National team, finally they could track this little boy through his Father's membership ID...and he got not only Lino's jersey, but some merchandise too ( Clip 3).

And the shameless Assh0le...don't worry his face already viral on social media....social / public punishment will be more cruel for him.

Here's the moment when Lino's finally meet this little boy for personally gave the jersey.

Hey @vcool - just to say that I really enjoy your Indonesian perspective on the forum. Keep it coming. Nice work.
 
The Right Way...

Many comments Indonesian National Team only win because Diaspora players. In developing Youth team / players not good etc, etc. It will be long discussion, argue.

In the past, maybe we weren't in right way, but in last few years we already in right way, U23 team reached 4th place in AFC U23 2024, Senior team now still fighting in 3rd round WCQ. And Eric Thohir also great figure, his passion for develop Indonesian Football is very high.

Actually there's lot good youth local players in last few years, and Lino is 1 of them. I hope it just beginning of good thing. And in the future we can develop more good way with Oxford United. If the players are good it also will be benefit for Oxford United.

We keep growing into right way...tonight also very special...U17 could beat South Korea's U17, and with local players. This team only fill with local players. Hope there will be another Lino, or better than Lino.

 
Nice to see Patrick Kluivert, Denny Landzaat and Jordy Cruyff visited Oxford to monitoring Ole and Lino, although Lino still not in OU's first squad.

Maybe start for official approach / talk for make him play for Indonesian National Team since he also in list that Kluivert want for strengthen the team. We'll wait and see.

There was an Indonesian lad near me for the Sheffield Utd game. He had an Indonesian flag and draped it over Romeny when he went back in the tunnel. Ole was very chuffed and shock the guys hand.

It would appear the lesser spotted OUFC Chairman was in the building, does that mean a fans forum is imminent, or do we have to wait until there is good news?😉

Surely Swansea is the game to give Lino his full league debut? Nothing to play for, chance to prove himself in the Championship, secure a massive social media boost from the Indonesian populus, etc etc

I'm of this opinion not only for the benefit to the finances etc. but also the more footballing fact that our wingers have been a big part of our weakness this year and we have an unknown quantity and a free hit to try him out in. We need to know if we will be able to rely on him in any way next year and trying it now when it doesn't matter makes more sense than trying it later one when it does.

I’d like to see us pick a strong side and try to win but it would also be a bit daft not to make use of a dead rubber and just relax a little and enjoy a game without tension for a change.

I’d like to see Romeny as the lone striker again, I’d like Marselino get at least a half and I wouldn’t mind a last chance for McEachran to play as well.

He will be a known quantity to the manager and coaching staff - they’ve seen him every day in training for months. I’ll trust their judgement on this.

Yes of course, but the phenomenon does exist of players who are able to turn it up a notch in front of a crowd. I seem to remember reading something about Gazza where a manager said that if it was based on training they'd never pick him, but the man on the pitch in the stadium was a totally different animal to the man on the training pitch. Of course I don't think Lino is the next Gazza but I can't see it as being any harm in seeing if the match factor gives him a better game.

Ignore the circumstances of why Lino is here.
We have a young winger in the squad, who is desperate for his league debut, it's the last game of the season with nothing to play for but pride.
He has to be involved, and I'd also have a couple of the youth team on the bench too.

It will be interesting if Dutch Staff attend the match to monitoring some players ( if the manager will give them chance to play ). Swansea have Indonesian Player too in their squad, Nathan Tjoe A-On ( LB ).

But back to OU, since nothing to fight again, it won't harm to try some potential young players from Youth Squad, who knows maybe there's some hidden gems there 😊
