Oscar del Calcio

Whether you like or not, best foreign player in Italia is Kaka. He deserves it. But also, you got another controversial winners in Oscar del Calcio, one of soccer award ceremony in Serie A. At least, for me.

Media and Liga Indonesia

There was interesting question on SCTV’s “Issue of the Week” last week which discussed about chaos in Indonesian Soccer. The guy from Persija Jakarta’s fans asked to Kompas journalist, Anton Sanjoyo, who attended as one of panelists.

“Why do Kompas always give a little coverage for Indonesian Soccer League (Liga Indonesia), but do opposite portion if chaos happened?” asked the guy who I forgot his name but has a great sense of humor.

Unfortunately, Joy, Anton’s nickname, didn’t have a time to answer it. I was thinking what Joy would say if he had times. Maybe, it will be the same with my media policies about Liga Indonesia.

Liga Indonesia is about anomaly. Hanky panky and unfair enough in many areas, especially referees. In that situation, will it be important to report scores and news in large portion around that to public? All what need to report is only its villain, not the game. Many media treat news from Liga Indonesia as a complementary, not their main sport coverage.

Soccer fans in Indonesia need to know about all undercover facts of Liga Indonesia. So their support won’t be useless. I think Joy and Kompas have this kind of policy. After all, media has a role to brighten up people.
