Malaysian football was thrown into fresh chaos Wednesday when the local governing body's entire executive body quit.
But Malaysia failed to qualify for 2022 and fared no better in trying to reach this year's World Cup in North America.
"This is extremely embarrassing," Ramkarpal Singh, a prominent lawyer and MP, told parliament after Malaysian football made headlines for all the wrong reasons.
"This matter has affected the reputation and the good name of the country," Singh added.
But something changed when I watched the World Cup... when I saw Lionel Messi."
