Orange Team 3 Buangkok FC 4

Buangkok FC and Buangkok FC II are united for this match.

We went ahead 1-0 when Daniel scored. Then they equalized 1-1. The uncle who wore #88 placed us ahead 2-1. Again the team in orange nullified it with 2-2. Half-time.

To be fair, we had numerical advantage. Unlimited substitutions for us. How many do orange team have on their bench? 1 or 2? I was on the sidelines for the 2nd half. I decided to voice out. 'You're the man Tang Yao' 'Come on! Don!' 'Nice clearance.' 'Defend. Only one man in front.'

One of our oldies took a free-kick. It was superbly clinical. Positioned at the left, flew right into top corner of the net. Placed us ahead 3-2. Then Alex cooly converted a penalty to seal us at 4-2. The orange team pulled one back 4-3.

Here are those who played...

Tang Yao - As goalkeeper blocked many shots.

Ah San - The founder, even at his age, one of our best.

Q-S - Joker. Yes I am the author of this blog.

Winston - Very fit defender.

Shyong Ming - Another excellent showing.

Daniel - Ok he scored.

Uncle Justin - Technically good. Thanks for the ride home through your van.

Uncle #88 - This man really know how to dictate midfield.

Kenny - He is a good striker.

Uncle who scored that magnificent free-kick - It's on video. I'd like to see all the pics and videos of the match that Ah San's children took.

Uncle with spectacles - Playing in emergency defence did ok.

David - 1st half left-wing. 2nd half defence. Our constant mainstay.

Alex - The heartbeat of the team. Our mastermind without puppet and strings.

Glen - We haven't seen him for 2 years. Then he show up with his gf.

Foreign guy - Was pushed to the left.

Don - Dangerous striker.

Tall man with spectacles - Hey at least he put on his boots and play...

Poor orange team gave all they got. They will improve. Remember in 2010 our core were walloped 14-1?

MAN OF THE MATCH: DAVID TEO. The constant performer. Using brains and know where to position himself upon receiving the ball. Doesn't yell or scold the teammates. Very, very few negatives we hear from him. He is becoming a better man.

Buangkok FC 4(David, Alex 2, Shyong Ming) Buangkok FC II 5

It's a tooth-and-nail affair. Buangkok II brought their big guns. This is the line-up for the originals:

GK - Tang Yao
LB - Q-S
CD - Kang Xiang
RB - Cher Siang
DM - Winston
DM - Shyong Ming
CM - Wee Zheng
AM - Alex
ST - David
ST - Daniel

Tang Yao gave his best as keeper. What did Q-S do as left-back? Sexy long balls? Kang Xiang again showing why he is really a top defender. Cher Siang punishing the opponents. Winston doing well in his preferred role. Shyong Ming is a must sure starter in every match. Wee Zheng simple passes. Alex is always the one leading the counter-attacks. David always ready to score. Daniel? *shakes head*

Buangkok II got ahead early when Kenny raced through and scored. 1-0. David equalized 1-1. Then Alex made it 2-1. Buangkok II equalized 2-2. Half-time.

Buangkok FC got their act together. 3-2 and then 4-2. Buangkok FC II clawed back 4-4. Their dangerous player Don came in the 2nd half. Causing troubles. He scored the Golden Goal 5-4.

MAN OF THE MATCH: ALEX TEO. When there's a counter-attack, he is on a solo mission. Keeps it in play and spreads when help arrives. Scores plenty of goals too every Saturday.

I was asked to play keeper for Buangkok FC II.

Here is the line-up for the originals...

GK - Tang Yao
CD - Cher Siang
CD - Kang Xiang
DM - Shyong Ming
CM - Wee Zheng
CM - Winston
CM - Alex
RW - David

Tang Yao saving shots again. Kang Xiang marshaled the defence well. Shyong Ming plugging the midfield. Wee Zheng with simple passes. Winston one of our mainstay. Alex using intelligence. David scoring.

Although I'm in the losing team, I saved 12 shots but conceded 6. People are congratulating me. They like seeing me play goalkeeper.

There's a bonus match against Banglas. We won 3-1.

MAN OF THE MATCH: DAVID TEO. This man scoring goals all about positioning. Buangkok FC need goals? This man is for the job.

Buangkok FC 6(How Meng 2, Eugene, Q-S, Winston, Alex) Buangkok FC II 0

This is the formation for the originals...

3-5-2

GK - Tang Yao
LB - Q-S
CD - Kang Xiang
CD - Cher Siang
DM - Shyong Ming
DM - Eugene
DM - Winston
CM - Alex
RW - David
ST - Daniel
ST - How Meng

Not that the other team played badly. They just cannot score. Even when near goal we die-die block like there's no tomorrow.

Tang Yao as GK did a few vital saves. The few who understands why Q-S like to position himself on the left have to keep it to themselves. Kang Xiang with another masterclass performance. Shyong Ming is a core member through and through. Eugene returning after a very long time did well in midfield. Winston also an integral part of the team. Alex with his passes. David running in the flanks. How Meng, back after months of absence, scored two. Daniel tried.

How Meng scored first after an assist from Daniel. 1-0
Eugene with a belter. 2-0
Alex pass to Q-S who chipped the ball. Keeper suspiciously fumbled. 3-0
Winston drove all the way and smashed one. 4-0
How Meng with another goal. A ninja kick from a long-ball. 5-0
How Meng and Alex tried to score from close range which Alex did. 6-0

MAN OF THE MATCH: KANG XIANG. This boy has all the attributes of a defender. Height? He can head the ball better
