Alex - The dictator.

David - The powerhouse.

Wee Zheng - Mr Simple.

Shyong Ming - Silent stopper.

Cher Siang - The beast.

Javier - Mr Close Control

Javier's Friend - The complete defender.

Uncle Justin - The twister.

Jeff - The show-off.

Nicholas - Midfield Maestro.

Chinaman - Mr Quiet

Red-shirt Guy - The passing defender.

Did I accidentally left anyone out?

MAN OF THE MATCH: KANG XIANG. Mr 101 moves. We all know what he can do. He can use any part of his body as a weapon to use the ball.

It was 10 against 10. Game on.

The match was deadlocked at 0-0 for a very long time. Until Jeff broke it and placed Team B in the lead 1-0. Winston's 2nd friend equalized to make it 1-1. Team B scored two more and at half-time it was 3-1. We switched sides for the 2nd half. Took until dark to level and end the game at 3-3.

For Team A, I was ordinary as keeper. Wee Zheng did he could as defender. There was an incident when I tried to punch the ball and hit Wee Zheng's head instead. I couldn't apologize because my left foot was in pain as Wee Zheng's studs stepped it. Kang Xiang again defending really well. Javier's friend(Brazil) injured himself on his first day. Don't know if he will return. Nazri made a comeback and played as right-back. Winston's friend tends to stick with Winston's 2nd friend in the middle. Alex passing the ball around. David galloping down the right. Ah San played as centre-forward.

For Team B, Cher Siang did very well as keeper. Shyong Ming played defence this time. Javier's friend(Real Madrid) is good on his first day. Winston again effective in defence. Javier with his close control. Nicholas the complete midfielder. Uncle Justin good dribbling skills. Orange Shirt with #10 is class and composed in midfield. How Meng took advantage of the no offside trap. Jeff was really trying to be like what it's on the back of his shirt - 'Torres 9'.

MAN OF THE MATCH: JAVIER'S FRIEND(Real Madrid). This guy is a very good defender. We are short of defenders. If both these Javier's friends play regularly with us, we will have ample of covers as defenders. We see people come and go.

H8FC Training 12 October 2013

We started off with another match with the kids. There weren't many kids so How Meng and Keith played for them. I scored a goal and we won 5-4.

More people came and here they are...

Syahrein
Alex
Kang Xiang
David
Wee Zheng
Shyong Ming
Keith
How Meng
Uncle Justin
Ah San
Jeff
Winston
Winston's friend
Chinaman
Nicholas

Did I accidentally left anyone out?

I think I did very good as goalkeeper. Saving difficult shots.

Alex scored goals again. They all saw Alex tried from distance and Q-S unbelievably saved.

Kang Xiang was masterful in defence. Showing he can use whichever side of his feet to clear balls.

David has only one thing on his mind with the ball. That is to bulldoze and score.

Wee Zheng with short passes.

Shyong Ming tends to prefer to play in the centre.

Keith enjoys running from the wings.

How Meng in the last match saved plenty of shots as keeper.

Uncle Justin is hardworking and needs support around him.

Ah San was good in defence.

Jeff was running amok. I accidentally hit his head trying to clear a corner.

Winston is improving with each Saturday along with his friend.

Chinaman did ok.

Nicholas also showing that he knows how to play football.

MAN OF THE MATCH: KANG XIANG. This guy will be bigger in the future. If any football legends see him play for his JC team, he might be called-up to Singapore Under-19. Knowing Q-S well may boost his chances.

H8FC Training 5 October 2013

Yesterday another round of fooball for us. Many people. We started off with the curtain-raiser. A match with the kids. Only 5 of us were there for this match. Against around 8 or 9 skilful kids. Cher Siang playing as keeper. Me as defender with Alex, David and Wee Zheng supporting them. We won 5-4 with me scoring a rocket with my new Adidas Questra boots.

Then we had another match with more people with my team winning 3-2.

A lot of people had arrived at this point. A match where I saved a lot as keeper but still lose 5-2.

Team A 5 Team B 2

Team A

GK - Cher Siang
RB - Red-shirt guy
CD - Winston
DM - Wee Zheng
CM - Javier
CM - Alex
RM - David
RW - Glen
ST - Malay Boy #1

Team B

GK - Syahrein
RB - Nazri
CD - Shyong Ming
CD - Nicholas
LW - Once In A While Guy
RW - Jeff
CM - Uncle Justin
ST - Keith
ST - Malay Boy #2
ST - Daniel

Anyone accidentally left out?

Team A took an unbelievable 4-0 lead. For all my many saves, it amounted to nothing. Cher Siang was saving shots for Team A. New guy with red-shirt looks like one of my secondary schoolmate. Winston was digging here and there winning balls. Wee Zheng just stand in the right places and contribute with short passes. Javier with a masterful performance in midfield. Complimenting him well is Alex who used minimal effort but more brains. David again taking on defenders. Glen came in late but was dangerous in attack. Malay Boy #1 is a top striker.

For Team B, Nazri tried as right-back. Shyong Ming and Nicholas were doing emergency defenders. Once In A While Guy running down the left-flank. Jeff had an average game. Uncle Justin led the attack. Keith tried to score. Malay Boy #2 was denied by Cher Siang many times. Daniel? Rather not talk about it.

MAN OF THE MATCH: ALEX TEO KANG SHENG. His ability to dictate the midfield is one of the reasons why Team A won. Less energy, more smartness. Right time, right place. And scored a lot.
