Leeds United got the tour of Burma underway properly earlier today and duly lost to the Myanmar league’s All-Stars side.
A team made up of the best in the division in the country, we perhaps should have expected a test.
And, of course, with a lack of time to adapt to the new surroundings and a weakened side from us, it was always going to be fairly tough.
Even so, we surely should have got some sort of result against a side like that, but at least it doesn’t count for much.
Let’s look at the reaction:

It’s a tour, meaningless. They are playing for fitness and tosee how the youth perform. So, why moan?

The Verdict
I’m not too fussed even if on the face of things it’s not the best looking result.
Certainly, a win or a draw would have been nice but I can’t imagine it’s the most comfortable environment after changing Yorkshire for East Asia.
Let’s just hope the other game sees us get a result.
