H8FC Training 17 September 2011

Today everyone playing on the forbidden pitch brought their A-Game. They all gave their best and it was a very entertaining and exhilirating contests of a series of 5-goal matches.

The core 8 - Alex, David, Crazy, Shyong Ming, Wee Zheng, Cher Siang, Tang Yao and the mastermind of all masterminds...me, started with a 4 on 4. Then more people joined. The 2nd match was tied at 4-4 and the team against mine won 5-4. If those playing thought that was one hell of a match, the final match was as good as it too....

MAIN EVENT 7 on 7

Team A

Syahrein
Tang Yao
Cher Siang
Jia Qi
Wee Zheng
Jeff
Shyong Ming

Team B

David
Crazy
Alex
Chinese Topless Guy
Malay Topless Guy
David's Friend
Liverpool Indian New Guy

Team B started full of intent with Alex pulling the strings and after a few minutes they were ahead 1-0 when Chinese Topless Guy pulled the trigger and me as goalkeeper couldn't see the low shot coming. That didn't dampen our spirits. Tang Yao who was like Undertaker and Cher Siang like Kane were giving the harsh treatment to Team B all match long. Jia Qi and Wee Zheng were trying to control the midfield like Xavi and Iniesta. Jeff was running everywhere full of vigour and not giving up.

We had a little break in between. Like Jose Mourinho, I realized where we needed fixing. So I asked Shyong Ming to play striker. David and Crazy swapped places as goalkeeper. Crazy is very busy defending and when it's David's turn outfield, he and Alex just couldn't see eye-to-eye with the two topless guys. After the match, Alex gave a crude comment about those two that I just cannot type here.

David's friend, who's like Peter Crouch in the previous match tried but couldn't cut it in this match. A new Indian guy who wears a Liverpool T-Shirt is a good player. Seemed he's positioned as right-back and can go forward to score. Which he did score the 5th goal in that match my team lost 5-4.

Back to the main event. So with a little tactical switch from Syahrein Villas-Boas, Shyong Ming went all the way and scored like Fernando Torres when he was in Liverpool. 1-1. Both teams toiled to score the winner. Tang Yao and Cher Siang in front of me didn't care if they land any of the Team B players in hospital as long as they don't score.

The sky became dark so I told everyone to stop playing as we can't see each other. A 1-1 draw is more than sufficient. Overall, 17 September 2011 was a very good day of football for us. There's blood on my left knee after I saved a shot from Alex. I'm glad I did fairly well as goalkeeper today. All because that girl refused to go out with me on my birthday. Girls, do continue to break my heart. I will always be better than your boyfriends. :>
