Did I leave anyone out?

The first match was against the kids. Kang Xiang told me and David to play for the kids. My team got thrashed.

I don't really remember the rest of the matches. Ah San's daughter brought along two female friends to watch us play. That boosted the confidence in some of us.

Man Of The Match: UNCLE JUSTIN. When he's with the ball one-on-one, he always manage to evade the opponent. Only crowding him will do. But then he had already passed the ball to an open teammate.

After the match we were treated to food by Ah San and his family. And we watched Everton vs Liverpool. I hope we have more female fans.

Did I accidentally left anyone out?

We started off with the kids and Alex vs me, Wee Zheng, David and Uncle Justin. The four of us won 7-4 with me getting two goals.

Then the big guns came. In the first match, two howlers from me gave the other team a 2-0 lead. We equalized 2-2. Then took the lead 3-2. They took over with a 4-3 lead. My team took the match to golden goal with 4-4. Ah San, playing for the opponent with a backheel ended the match 5-4.

We reshuffled teams in the 2nd match. Amazingly, I played goalkeeper again and kept a clean sheet. 5-0 my team won.

Last match my team won 5-4. So I played goalkeeper for three matches.

Man Of The Match: How Meng's friend. This boy can whip crosses low and high. Switching flanks. Very deadly shots. A true winger.

H8FC Street Soccer 9 November 2013

5 of us started. Me, Alex, Wee Zheng, David and Cher Siang. We won against a group of young boys. Winston and Kang Xiang joined. Nicholas came later. Few more unknowns join us. After the strangers left, we had a couple of matches among ourselves.

It's a good alternate to field. We had to cancel our field because we feared not many people would arrive. Wee Zheng suggested street soccer. We had a whale of a time.

H8FC Washout 2 November 2013

It was raining heavily. Only 4 H8FC players came and was hoping to play. Me, Alex, David and Cher Siang. We set up one goalpost and practised assists and shooting. Alex, David and Cher Siang took turns becoming keeper. It appears Alex won that contest.

I can head the ball for a shot now. My profile says 'Getting better'. These two words are oh so true. From these assessments, these are the best outfield positions for us...

Syahrein = Defensive midfielder

Alex = Centre midfielder

David = Right-winger

Cher Siang = Centre defender

Keith came but it's still not enough people so we cancel the session.

That's all folks!
