We heard rumours the Malay Boys are from Hougang Secondary. It was 9 vs 9.
H8FC
GK - We rotate
LB - Syahrein
CD - Cher Siang
DM - Wee Zheng
CM - Alex
CM - Javier
RM - David
AM - Shyong Ming
AM - Kang Xiang
ST - How Meng
1-0 = How Meng opened the scoring for H8FC.
1-1 = A Malay Boy scored from distance with a nice shot.
2-1 = How Meng with another goal from close range.
3-1 = Javier with a thunderbolt from way out.
4-1 = Shyong Ming with a good shot.
5-1 = Another good goal by Shyong Ming.
6-1 = How Meng wrapped up his hat-trick.
I was made to look like a fool at left-back when 3 Malay Boys do triangle passes on me. Wee Zheng did well to benefit his teammates. Alex instrumental as playmaker. David played intelligent football too linking well with his brother Alex. Javier is the real deal. Totally dominate the midfield. Shyong Ming had an excellent game and helped himself with 2 goals. Kang Xiang again running all over the pitch and winning balls. How Meng will remember this day forever with a hat-trick. Ah San came to replace me when we were 5-1 up. Malay Guys beef up with Daniel and Tall Uncle joining them.
MAN OF THE MATCH: JAVIER

It was raining. We decided to play street soccer instead. The ground was slippery and most of us fell.
The best player is Kang Xiang. Running around tirelessly.
I have to buy a sports shoes. My street soccer shoes are torn. Sports shoes are the best for street soccer courts.

H8FC Training 12 January 2013
The main event
Team A 6(Wee Zheng, David(2), Daniel, Blue Shirt Guy, Keith) Team B 3(Black shirt Malay Boy(2), Blue Shirt Guy)
Team A
GK - Syahrein
CD - Ah San
CD - Kang Xiang
RB - Keith
DM - Wee Zheng
RW - Jeff
CM - David
CM - Uncle Justin
AM - Blue Shirt Guy

RB - How Meng
CD - Cher Siang
CM - Arsenal Malay Boy
CM - Red shirt Malay Boy
CM - Alex
CM - Nicholas
AM - Shyong Ming
LW - Glen
RW - Chris
ST - Black shirt Malay Boy
Did I accidentally leave anyone out?
This is a really good match. With experts like Ah San, Kang Xiang, Keith, Uncle Justin and Indian/Bangla Guy, Team A was sure to win. Syahrein doing good as goalkeeper with a few vital saves. Ah San masterful in defence. Kang Xiang goes up and tracks back often. Keith had a quiet game but scored the 6th goal. Wee Zheng scored the first goal and tried his best. The stylo-milo Jeff running riot. What an audacity he's wearing the latest Chelsea jersey with 'Torres 9' at the back. David intelligently placing himself on either flank and scored 2 goals, 1 a penalty.
Uncle Justin is a thinking footballer who has almost no weakness. Blue Shirt Guy is a Sunday football person who came to spy on the Saturday people(we). He scored for Team A and also Team B when he swapped sides in the 2nd half. Indian/Bangla Guy is another good midfielder. Daniel scored with a header. Malay Whitley Boy did ok.
For Team B, Tang Yao saved shots. Tony running in the flanks. How Meng taking on defenders. Cher Siang again with brute force. Arsenal Malay Boy needs more games, so as Red shirt Malay Boy. Alex is always on the centre of the pitch directing play. Nicholas compliments him well. Shyong Ming roaming about to support the attackers. Glen quite quiet on this day. Chris, our best player, returned after a long absence. Syahrein prevented this deadly player from scoring. Black shirt Malay Boy scored twice. One from an offside postition. The other a header to the far post.
Thank you everyone for another brilliant afternoon of football.

H8FC Training 5 January 2013
I wasn't around yesterday. This match report is brought to you by Kang Xiang...
Today was a very sunny day and 16 handsome guys played football @ Buangkok Stadium. This post was written because Hougang8’s main editor was absent for this session due to work.
Here’s what happened today:
MATCH 1:
Hougang8 5-2 Small kids with Kang Xiang and Tang Yao
…….. The small kids were just running around aimlessly but at least we managed to found some talents/unpolished gems.
Man of the Match: Raheem Sterling(Red shirt small Indian boy) - Not bad for his age. Would soon be able to join us and play football.
MATCH 2:
Team A 0-2 Team B
Team A (1-1-1-1-1)
GK - Tang Yao
CD - Cher Siang
DM - Da Pang
CM - Nicholas
AM - Tony/ Ah _ _ _
ST - How Meng
Team B (2-1-1)
AM - Justin
CM - Alex
CD - David
RB - Jeff
GK - Kang Xiang
On papers, Team B looks set to win even though Team A had an extra man. The inability of Team A to control the midfield made them lose the game. With the likes of Justin and Alex running riot in the midfield, it is very difficult for Team A to defend and was constantly being attacked. However, Da Pang and Nicholas still tried hard to pass the ball around, but Tony simply couldn’t finish. As a result, Team A only registered 1 shot on target. We ended the game early as new people (Keith, Ah San, How Meng’s Friend-Han Yuan, Glen and Tall Uncle) arrived.
Man of the Match: Justin - His style of football is magnificent and it is very hard to snatch the ball from him while he is dribbling. Crossing the ball nicely, good control and wonderful finish.
MATCH 3:
Team A 4-2 Team B
Team A(4-1-2-1)
GK - They rotate
CD - Tall Uncle
CD - Ah San
LWB - Tony
RWB - Jeff
DM - Da Pang
CM - Keith
AM - Alex
ST - David
Team B(2-1-1-2-1)
ST - Justin
AML - Han Yuan
AMR - Hao Meng
CM - Nicholas
DM - Glen
CD - Kang Xiang
CD - Cher Siang
GK - Tang Yao
Team B lost due to a lack of defense when their LWB/RWB pushed up but our attacking midfielders do not track back and help to defend. When Tall Uncle arrived later in the game, Team B found it even more difficult to score as Tall Uncle defended brilliantly with Ah San. With players like Keith, Ah San and Jeff who can bring the ball out from defense to attack, no doubt Team A won. David did well as lone striker, holding the ball, waiting for support and spreading it out. Da Pang conceded some goals from far but did well as a defensive midfielder. When Alex came out to outfield, Team B suffered more as they will have to deal with another attacking threat.
Man of the match: Jeff - Very dynamic player, converting defense to attack, earning himself 2 goals- a thunderbolt and a lucky goal.
After the match, Jeff and Tony left, leaving us with 7 on 7. The next match which was the final match was the real deal.
FINAL MATCH:
Team A 5-7 Team B
Team A:
Gk - Tang Yao
CD - Kang Xiang
CD - Ah San
DM - Justin
AML - Han Yuan
AMR - How Meng
ST - David
Team B:
ST - None
LM - Nicholas
CM - Alex
RM - Keith
DM - Da Pang
CD - Tall Uncle
RB - Glen
GK - Octopus/ Cher Siang
Individual report card:
Tang Yao - Reacted quickly to stop many One-on-One situations as he was often exposed by his defense. Couldn’t do anything about most of the goals he conceded. Unfortunate to be caught out by Da Pang’s cross-cum-shot and an unlucky own goal.
Kang Xiang - Didn’t perform well today and was not composed enough. Made some misplaced pass and would be thankful that Ah San is there to cover him.
Ah San - Performed better than Kang Xiang as a CD other than his lack of pace. Good composure and sprays good ball to the flank. Sadly, he left early and cost the team to lose.
Justin - As usual, he reads the game well and did the usual stuff - Beating defenders, shooting, scoring, and picking out free man with his short and simple passing. Track back when needed.
Han Yuan - His dribbling and shooting technique is there but needs to work on his ball control. Needs to track back more and help the team to defend.
How Meng - Hat-trick hero. He scored a thunderbolt early in the game when Team A was dominating. He also did well as an attacking midfield but was recalled back into CD when Ah San left the game.
David - Surprisingly didn’t manage to score today but had a couple of assists including a self-proclaimed Steven Gerrard assist which he laid the ball for How Meng to blast it into the net.
Cher Siang- He played keeper most of the time, saving more shots with his knee/legs rather than his hands. Later on in the game, he came out and played CD and made a brilliant sliding tackle on David.
Tall Uncle - By just hearing his name, one should know what he is good at- Heading. Was constantly a threat in the air and made it hard for people to mark him with his height. He was solid as a CD, operating more like a sweeper which he whacks the ball up for his wingers to chase.
Glen - Was quite a disappointment in the earlier stage of the game. Claimed that he was hungry and had no energy. Later on, he unleashed all his energy and started to dribble past people.
Da Pang - Scored a goal with his cross-cum-shot. Was mainly defending and got up to support his teammates when they are attacking. He will surely do better if his chest wasn’t pain.
Alex - He was calm and intelligent with the ball, creating many chances for his team. Was allowed to run freely in the midfield as there was nobody in Team A’s central midfield area.
Keith - Also scored 3 goals with 2 being a composed finished through the keepers legs in 1-on-1 situations. He caused problems down the flank with his pace and technique.
Nicholas - Operated mainly in the central, more to the left side and made use of counter attack opportunities to pass the ball to his teammates to score. Should unleash the ball to his teammates quicker next time.
