H8FC Training 25 August 2012

I was in teams that lose first match 5-2, won 2nd match 5-2 and won last match 6-2. I'm going to mention about the 5-2 victory.

Team A 5 Team B 2

Team A

GK - How Meng
RB - New Indian/Bangla guy
CD - Syahrein
CD - Kang Xiang
DM - Wee Zheng
CM - Alex
AM - En Rong
RW - Glen

Team B

GK - Tang Yao
CD - Cher Siang
CD - Tian Ting
DM - Jia Qi
CM - Uncle Justin
RM - David
AM - Shyong Ming
ST - Daniel
CF - Ah San

Did I accidentally miss anyone out? So Team A won convincingly even with one man short.

Alex opened the account with a goal that made it Team A 1 Team B 0. Then it was 2-0, superb goal by Glen. Team B pulled one back with a goal by Daniel. Team A extended the lead with 3-1 another goal by Glen. How Meng swapped places and played outfield scoring the goal that made it 4-1. Uncle Justin with another brilliant performance cutting the lead to 4-2. The new Indian/Bangla guy scored the winner 5-2.

How Meng did fine as keeper. I thought I was cool as defender. Cut off some attacks. Kang Xiang likes to move up and down. He's protected by me and Wee Zheng. Wee Zheng plays football like that drama series guy Chuck. If someone like Chuck were to exist, his girlfriend will leave him because he is a tyco-kia.

Alex did very well again as a playmaker. En Rong is intelligent knowing where to position himself.

Glen did very well too with two goals. He's an Army third sergeant so he's really fit. Likes to do fanciful moves.

Tang Yao with routine saves again. Cher Siang playing football with force. Tian Ting is a good defender. He is not stupid and did vital interceptions. Jia Qi returned after a long time. Keeping it simple with his passes. Uncle Justin again performed well. Doesn't deserve to be in the losing team.

David using full advantage of the no-offside with good runs and positioning on the right. Shyong Ming had to stop in the middle of the match through injury. Daniel got lucky with that goal. Ah San is a wise old man. But it was Team A's day with an emphatic victory.

Man Of The Match: GLEN

There was a funny moment when my foot was caught on the net and the poles fell on me. Like Shawn Michaels in a ladder match with Razor Ramon before you guys were born or too young to like wrestling. I wish I can be like Shawn Michaels in the 90s. But I don't look like him. At least I can talk and act like him.

H8FC Training 18 August 2012

Today we played 3 matches. The matches I played in first game my team won 5-4, second match lose 4-1 and 3rd match drew 2-2. This is the match that I picked...

Team A 1 Team B 4

Team A

GK - Syahrein
CD - Tian Ting
DM - Javier
CM - Alex
CM - David
AM - Kang Xiang
RW - Keith
ST - Daniel

Team B

GK - Tang Yao
CD - Cher Siang
CD - Ah San
DM - Wee Zheng
LM - Nicholas
CM - Uncle Justin
AM - Shyong Ming
AM - En Rong
RW - Glen

Did I accidentally leave anyone out?

I started the match as a defender. It's deadlocked at 0-0 for around 30 minutes. David couldn't take it anymore and switched to outfield and I played keeper. Alex put Team A ahead 1-0 with a tap-in. Uncle Justin equalized 1-1 with a superb shot from a tight angle. Uncle Justin then made it 2-1. A low cross from the right, nobody marked him and he slotted in. Nicholas chipped me from way out. I got a touch on the ball but it went in. Glen rubbed salt to wound by scoring the 4th.

The downfall for Team A started when Tian Ting had to rest. We got no defender and Team B ran riot. Javier would rather try to boss the midfield than play as a central-defender. Alex missed many shots but he always score goals even on his worst day. David is having another average game. Kang Xiang likes to push-up. Keith running on the right flank. Daniel? Disappointing. Basically, there must be at least 2 defenders who do not move up that often leaving the keeper exposed. I conceded 4 goals but I saved more.

Tang Yao with few good saves again. Cher Siang with brute force. The intelligent Ah San came in the middle of the match and changed things around. Wee Zheng another average game. Nicholas did very well on the left of midfield. Uncle Justin was superb. Shyong Ming is not his usual self yesterday. En Rong did ok. Glen with football skills like the ones you see on your PsP.

Man Of The Match: UNCLE JUSTIN

H8FC Training 11 August 2012

Team A 7 Team B 9

Team A

GK - Syahrein
Free Role - Kang Xiang
DM - Wee Zheng
LM - Nicholas
CM - Alex
LW - Keith
RM - David
RW - Glen

Team B

GK - Tang Yao
CD - Cher Siang
RB - Jeff
DM - Javier
CM - Uncle Justin
AM - Shyong Ming
CF - Ah San
ST - Daniel

Did I accidentally leave anyone out?

Basically, Team A were playing an attacking game. Team B just sat back and pounced on Team A when Team A lose possession. Kang Xiang and Wee Zheng moved forward too many times. Cher Siang, Javier and Ah San just thread through balls for Shyong Ming and Daniel.

I should have stayed as keeper throughout the match. When I played outfield, I was slow and not up to standard. Nicholas, Alex, David, Keith and Glen tried to rip open Team B's defence. Team B had 6 men behind the ball. Jeff was full of running at right-back. Javier is the mastermind behind Team A's downfall. With his superb ball control and distribution. Uncle Justin too was amazing in centre-midfield. Shyong Ming had a good game. Daniel scored again though he missed more.

Tang Yao was yelling at his teammates. What for? No money, nothing at stake.

I should have played full-time keeper.

Man Of The Match: JAVIER

H8FC Training 4 August 2012

Team A 5 Team B 3

We played 3 five-goal matches and I think this one is outstanding.

CD - Tang Yao
Free Role - Kang Xiang
CM - Uncle Justin
CM - Alex
AM - Ah San
ST - Daniel

Team B

DM - Wee Zheng
LM - Nicholas
CM - Shyong Ming
RM - David
LW - Chris
RW - Keith

Did I accidentally leave anyone out?

A good performance by me as keeper. I think I saved more than 10 shots. Indian Beckham Boy is a comic relief. Stop scolding him guys. Were you better than him when you were 11 years old? Cher Siang and Tang Yao like Kane and the Undertaker trying to kill Team B. Kang Xiang was everywhere up and down. Uncle Justin got all the skills as a player. Alex very intelligent in the middle of the park. Ah San is a wise old man supplying assists. Daniel scored. Yes he did.

Jeff was full of vigour. A show-off definitely. (Wait a minute. I'm a show-off too) Wee Zheng had an average game. Shyong Ming too had an average game. David was delivering crosses and taking long shots whenever he can. Nicholas is the complete playmaker. Chris is doing what he does every Saturday afternoon. Rarely he lost a game. Keith, on the other flank is a classic winger. St Andrews Guy covers up for Keith as right-back.

Team B had no excuse to lose as their team were strong. This is how the sequence of goals were scored. Sorry I forgot the scorers.

Team A 0 Team B 1
Team A 1 Team B 1
Team A 1 Team B 2
Team A 2 Team B 2
Team A 2 Team B 3
Team A 3 Team B 3
Team A 4 Team B 3
Team A 5 Team B 3
