Here are some tweets from netizens of both countries:
“The most important thing for the admin is at least we have 1 trophy compared to the Timor Leste team which has no AFF trophies. That’s enough,” said @OnefootballM who supports the Malaysian national team.
“Even though Harimau Malaya did not manage to qualify for AFF 2024, we will not turn our backs. “Our team has fought with full spirit and given their best in every match. We must remember that every defeat is an opportunity to learn,” said Malaysian supporter @IbrahimCholid. “I don’t mind Malaysia failing to qualify for the AFF 2024 semifinals, I still support Malaysia, what matters to me is when they drew 3-3 with Korea in the last Asian Cup.” Malaysia managed to draw 3-3 with Korea, that match will be remembered by me for a long time,” said @yaelah, modifying the legendary tweet of Malaysian fans to make a jab. It was observed that dozens of netizens repeated this ‘bila-bila masa’ tweet. It seems that this tweet will always be remembered by Indonesian netizens and can easily be modified according to the moment. “❌ Failed to qualify for the U-17 Asian Cup 2025 ❌ Failed to qualify for the U-20 Asian Cup 2025 ❌ Eliminated in R2 WCQ 2026 ❌ Eliminated in the AFF Cup 2024.” “Stay strong, uncle 😭😭,” said @hsbas mischievously while giving encouragement.
