National football

I am disappointed that The Jakarta Post does not carry more sports news about our very exciting national football competitions. This is an unfortunate time to mention this since you did carry our Uber and Thomas triumphs in Hong Kong recently, and you reported on the Lazio game. If there is an international exhibition or contest you do report it, but what of the national Dunhill League competitions happening right now?

You really should carry the results and "play by play" of these teams in your sport pages. I am mystified to see often obscure European sporting events and American baseball results reported almost daily while our thrilling local teams go unmentioned.

Foreign nationals missing their favorite home teams would be clever to embrace their local (Indonesian) football clubs. There is a lot of action and talent, and it's just plain fun.
