International Career
A player with impeccable vision on the field, Goh made his international debut for the Singapore Lions on 22 May 2001 in a friendly against New Zealand.
He played in both the 2002 and 2004 Tiger Cups and was notably sent off in the second group match against Laos in 2002. Singapore was subsequently knocked out at the group stage of the tournament. However, he redeemed himself in the 2004 edition after forming a remarkable partnership in central midfield alongside Hasrin Jailani as Singapore won the tournament that year.
In 2006, he had a feud with national team coach, Radojko Avramovic, after he was dropped from the national team after failing to observe a curfew together with his Woodlands Wellington teammate, Masrezwan Masturi. This cause a huge uproar as the two players were dropped two days before the Asian Cup qualifying round opener against Iraq.
Because of his refusal to give Avramovic a public apology, he was never picked to play for the national team again since that incident.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“A black boxer’s career is the perfect metaphor for the career of a black male. Every day is like being in the gym, sparring with impersonal opponents as one faces the rudeness and hostility that a black male must confront in the United States, where he is the object of both fear and fascination.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
