Nike"Jangan Togel"...

I was 15 years old(2002) when I was seriously into football. I could give you the various footballers’ names, teams, country of origin and how well they did in this or that match.Some matches are better than others, in the sense that they are more frustrating ( in a good way ), and I rather watch these than some half-hearted performance by a top team against a rookie team so way out of their league...
...Since my knee injurd(2005)...I change my profession and start playing Futsal till now...From me, futsal also most interesting game...sometimes need a skills , technique...but remember "Play As a Team"....

One thing I remember till now was that the footballers would remove their shirts when they have a victory… like this…




Then comes along Nike with their "Jangan Togel" football campaign. Half-naked booties as well, but this time the rules are reversed. Apparently:

1) You remove your shirt and play the rest of the game topless when the opposing team scores the first goal; so
2) You don’t really want to be one topless; and
3) It is a long-time Malaysian tradition.




Actually, I had no idea what togel meant. Malaysian footballers commonly use Bogel when they playing football or futsal … so I thought this was Nike’s attempt to be ‘cleaner’.
According to Nike, it means ‘incomplete’ or ‘tail-less’, so…

Anyway the song in the background is ‘My Generation’ by a local band, Seven Collar T-shirt.
The song available at nike website and part of the lyrics goes:

“In this field Iâ™m weightless, clinging on to my shirt,
Clinging on to my shirt
We can break their fortress, fighting on for the score,
I believe thereâd™s more.”
