RedSportsXI
POLLS CLOSED MIDNIGHT, FRIDAY, MAY 23.
Hi football fans and players,
The poll is over and before we get into the best 11 players, I must add that this poll is the most popular on Red Sports so far. As with all reader-generated polls, controversy abounds. Some have said the top 11 are not the best and are just a reflection of their popularity in school and mobilisation efforts by their friends. Well, so be it. No poll is perfect and if the best 11 were just picked by me and a couple of coaches, what’s the fun in that yeah? I’d rather let you guys do the picking.
So, here’s the RedSportsXI based on the votes:
Pierson Ang (#20, goalkeeper, Anglo-Chinese JC)
Adam Yuu Douglas (#26, defender, Anglo-Chinese JC)
Khairil (#23, defender, Meridian JC)
Gavin Lee (#13, defender, Victoria JC)
Fazli (#7, right-back, Meridian JC)
Mohamed Aswad (#10, midfielder, Millenia Institute)
Mahdi (#23, midfielder, Meridian JC)
Nathaniel (#12, centre midfielder, St Andrew’s JC)
Muhd Afrizal (#19, left winger, Jurong JC)
Alex (#10, striker, Victoria JC)
Chong Kuo Loon (#17, striker, St Andrew's JC)
So six schools have representatives on the RedSportsXI team. I think that’s a nice spread of schools and shows that no school has succeeded in spamming the poll in any great way. It also shows that there is talent spread out across the schools, players whose skills have impressed a wider selection of readers.
Out of curiosity, I decided I would list the next 11 players by vote. So here they are:
Alfred Yue (#1, GOALKEEPER, Jurong JC)
Lim Jun Liang (#5, defender, Victoria JC)
Matthew, (#3, defender, Meridian JC)
Warrick Wee (#7, right-back, Anglo-Chinese JC)
Luo Yu Kai (#18, centre-back, Anglo-Chinese JC)
Cedric Goh (#8, centre midfielder, Anglo-Chinese JC)
Nicholas Kang (#17, left winger, Victoria JC)
Jeremy Ong (#2, midfielder, St Andrew's JC)
Chester Lum (#16, midfielder, Victoria JC)
Anders Aplin (#9, striker, Victoria JC)
Daniel Kao (#14, striker, Anglo-Chinese JC)
If anyone can tell me what position Irwin Goh (#14, position?, St Andrew's JC) plays, he might warrant a position in the second RedSportsXI. I’ve left him out in the meantime because I don’t have that information.
So there you have it, the two best teams at A Division level according to the readers. Now, I don’t know about you, but I would pay good money to watch these two teams play. And if got to pick my players, I would add someone like Augustus Set (#7, midfielder) of St Andrew’s in my team cos that guy plays beautiful football. Augustus was a very late addition in the poll because he wasn’t nominated early by readers.
Although I only got to watch the semi-finals of the A Division, I was struck by the level of skill on display. It was a joy to watch. Also what was missing was all the nonsense you see from the English Premier League – diving, trying to get opponents sent off, arguing with the referee. Most players conducted themselves with decorum, dignity and manliness. My hats off to you.
So now, if you guys really want to watch RedSportsXI (A) vs RedSportsXI (B), and the players really want to play that game, hey, let me know. Maybe we can form a committee with 3 to 4 people and get this executed. I’m not doing this alone, that’s for sure!
Red Sports. Always Game.

i think acjc is the lousiest team in the top 4. even MI is better. acjc players can’t even control the ball properly. i think it would be a total thrashing of acjc by vjc. vjc wouldn’t even need to field their first team. acjc seriously has no skill.
civilians, vote for afrizal if u think he’s good!!!!
16
what jersey number is that chester lum wearing?is it 16 or 4?
vj 3-1 mj
oh so the ac coach is called jin yi…… wad a cute name….. oh…… i heard my fren say today VJ vs MJ score is 2-1…
Oh thanks .
can someone pls tell me what’s the final score between vj and mj today?
NO NO!! vj vs mj will be at JJC tmr at 3pm!! not NJ..
mjc and vjc match will be on neutral grounds , njc
Does anyone know where the match between MJC and VJC will be?
the soccer players themselves don’t even care for this voting issue
i beg to differ, the ac team look well organised and passionate, with a couple of dangerous players. they look like they can hold their weight against hci and mj, but the ball is round, will be interesting how they fare in semis.
@ aladin : huh why must I? Who are you btw?
the reason why ac looks good because they are in grp a. i don’t think they can handle either vj, mj or even hci if they’re in grp b.
haha, some ppl in ac hates ac because they ostracize them..wonder why..
but yea jin yi (ac’s coach) is good..if he was coaching a team with better basics or had dsa, that team would have done better..
yess ac had no dsa and only 5 players have B div experience
everyone,this poll is about the top11 soccer players,not the top 11 celebrated personalities.Also,noone’s criticising acjc players but they’re just questioning why some of the supposedly better players from sajc.mjc,vjc and maybe even nyjc,hci or rjc arent voted in.even the most diehard of acjc fans have to agree that there are better players in other jcs especially mjc,sajc and vjc.let’s recall euro2004,greece were the most disciplined of all and worked their socks off as a team and won euro2004 as a result,but can we say that majority of the players should be in the top11?i doubt so.and noone’s jealous of acjc players for they have not won anything thus far,in the semifinals it’s everyone’s guess as to who will emerge from it victorious.so let’s all wait and see whether this year’s acjc team are really worthy of other teams being jealous of them.and yes credit to them,they managed to salvage results from seemingly lost causes such as their woeful secondhalf against jjc and nyjc.so kudos to their fighting spirit and teamwork
babypooh_1505 intro lehx
hahah if you AC guys wanna go start your own fashin show or popularity contest… nobody is going to get jealous and all.. keep it within your own AC walls. but what we’re talking about here is soccer and apparently i dont think ACJC is the only JC in the A division so if we want to start comparing aspects not related to soccer ….then whats the point of this website alr?
nobbody is out here to criticize you guys. what we wanna talk about here is soccer not who is more popular and why AC is so good bla bla bla.
HAHA YES AC SOCCER COACH IS THE BEST!!!!!!! HE HOW COOL!
anyway people usually hate ac for the sake of hating ac. ac actually has very nice people we arent stuck up and all like what other people say. and anyway if you dont like our ac soccer boys then just dont vote for them, dont criticise them or anything they dont deserve it! actually no one deserves to be insulted so yeap 🙂
anyway most of the soccer guys actually dont even care about this so why is everybody so worked up! haha
Its natural tt everyone dislikes AC….bo bian la…. wad can we say… team AC is naturally good in everything… football, teamwork, fans support, cheering, looks……… too many to name……. thanks to all critics for letting AC knows how many ppl are jealous of this year’s dark horse…. one more thing, AC does not do well by pouring in tonnes of star players into the team, it is the AC spirit, the passion, the unity which brings them to where they are… oh ya, forgot to mention tt the coach also quite super, his hairstyle quite nice…. start noticing him ppl…
