Eleven saves made Hassan Sunny a soccer god in China. The goalkeeper of Singapore’s national team might not have been able to prevent his team from losing 3-1 in the World Cup qualifier against Thailand. However, it was only thanks to his outstanding reflexes that the Chinese were able to avoid a heavier defeat and remain in second place in the final table ahead of the Thais. This allowed China to advance to the final qualification round and keep their hopes of a second World Cup appearance after 2002 alive.
