Indonesia's men can restore pride to the country's football when they contest a major regional final Tuesday, following a deadly stadium disaster and humiliation at losing the right to host the U-20 World Cup. The Indonesians booked their place in the gold-medal match against Thailand at the Southeast Asian Games with a pulsating 3-2 win over holders Vietnam. Gold for Indonesia would be its first in men's SEA Games football, which is contested between under-23 teams. Taufany Muslihuddin was Indonesia's semi-final hero, hitting a 96th-minute winner in Phnom Penh on Saturday.
