H8FC Street Soccer 29 December 2012

9 of H8FC players attended a street soccer session yesterday. Syahrein, Alex, David, Kang Xiang, Shyong Ming, Tang Yao, Nicholas, Wee Zheng and Cher Siang.

We played among ourselves at first. Then people come to take us on. There was a 4-on-4 match where Tang Yao, Alex, Nicholas and me were thrashed 3-0. Tang Yao was playing as keeper. There's this Indian boy who scored a hat-trick.

We reshuffled and I was playing keeper for a team consisting of Alex, David, Kang Xiang and Shyong Ming. We beat two expert teams.

We'll be spending New Year's Eve together.

Did I accidentally leave anyone out?

For Team A, How Meng did very well as keeper. Kang Xiang who had a bad first game, more than made up for it in this match. Winning balls and bringing it forward. Wee Zheng had a better game. David can position himself where the opponents can't spot him. Ah San is like Spurs legend Teddy Sheringham. Supplying assists for the 3 Malay boys.

For Team B, again Tang Yao gave his best as keeper. I was the only one supporting him as defender. The rest tend to move forward allowing Team A to counter attack. Uncle Justin on one of his very few off-days. Alex a bit rusty too. Nicholas showing nice passes as always. Indian/Bangla guy couldn't do much when he came on in the 2nd half.

Tall Uncle missed many headers. Shyong Ming can dribble but couldn't make the final assist. Malay Boy #4 misses a lot of chances. Same can be said of Daniel. With players like Tang Yao, Uncle Justin, Alex, Nicholas, Indian/Bangla Guy and Tall Uncle, how can Team B lose? I'm a crap defender? The 3 Malay boys are a triangle of doom?

Man Of The Match: Malay Boy #1(The short one with the green jersey)

H8FC Training 8 December 2012

Team A 7 Team B 10

Team A (3-3-0)

GK - Tang Yao
RB - Once In A While Guy
CD - Syahrein
CD - Ah San
CM - Indian/Bangla Guy
CM - Shyong Ming
CM - Uncle Justin

Team B (3-2-1)

GK - Cher Siang
SW - Tall Uncle
CM - Kang Xiang
CM - Nicholas
RM - David
RW - Glen
ST - Daniel

Did I accidentally left anyone out?

Tang Yao did what he could as keeper. Those goals he let in are not his fault. Once In A While Guy wasn't performing well. I didn't do too well as a defender. Our CEO Ah San seemed troubled. Indian/Bangla Guy is skilful but he cannot click with Shyong Ming and Uncle Justin. Shyong Ming is stubborn playing centre when he should be on the wings. Uncle Justin faded as time passed by.

Cher Siang had a pretty good game as keeper. Tall Uncle was majestic in defence. Kang Xiang again full of running. Nicholas did good as a midfielder. David was kicked by me but he withstood the pain and extended his record of scoring every Saturday. I cannot believe Ah San gave away a pass for Glen to score. Daniel again more shots off target.

Man Of The Match: Tall Uncle

Please tell me if I accidentally leave anyone out.

It was a blockbuster of a match. Tang Yao again yelling at his teammates.
Indian/Bangla Guy returned for his 2nd match since...? Winston is new with us. Maybe he will be used to the pitch more. Shyong Ming scored with a bullet of a header which I couldn't save. Alex is the mastermind pulling the strings in the middle. Beating me with a long-range effort that I cannot save. Nicholas seemed to compliment well with Alex in Team A. Wee Zheng should kiss his girlfriend more. Jeff did well but left at half-time.

Syahrein, whose popularity with the females is increasing because of work, did good as goalkeeper. David, again, scoring every Saturday. Kang Xiang roams all over the pitch. Uncle Justin is a true all-round player. Glen came on at around 6pm. Showed nice assists. Keith again is a very good winger. Our CEO Ah San defies the logic that people who smoke have poor stamina. Daniel is a nice guy but his technique is wrong. Once In A While Guy left early.

Man Of The Match: Uncle Justin
