Iceland knows how to stop Messi

The Icelandic players when defending against Lionel Messi with the ball, they know how and where to position themselves.

Limiting Messi's shooting angle, where he runs with the ball and prises the ball away from him.

This only applies to a team with one player who is superstar status.

Iceland taking full advantage the world can't figure out what most of their players can do. Yet.

Handsome boys who try to be like Cristiano Ronaldo

3 goals by Ronaldo against Spain. A penalty, fluke by De Gea and a free-kick.

Football is not popular here like it used to. Because we have to pay extra to watch it on tv.

These handsome boys who wish they have the skills of Ronaldo are causing their own football team problems.

They dribble and lose possession. Their passes are too hard to control. Then they blame their own keeper, their teammates without realizing the amount of ball they lost.

They demand to take free-kicks. When the ball went over the bar for so many times. Even old Q-S can do a free-kick better and more beautiful with the dip.

We should play football to our strengths. Like me, I should forget about being on the left running or passing. Because my father took away my football prowess by forcing me to take medicine to cater to him. I'm just goalkeeper and stay that way.

A boy who most people say is handsome and loves football is going to make a fool of himself in the future. If he tries to play like Ronaldo. Who will like you if your teammates are football-intelligent and say you are the one to blame for giving the ball away to the opponents not once, twice but the most number of times?

I used to be handsome until jealous people curse my face through winnings in football bettings. It was a joyful ride and I can tell you, it will happen again when I reverse all these curses with my bomoh powers when I reach 40.

My advice to these Ronaldo want-to-bes? Work hard. The money/knowledge you earn is to sustain your future.

Cougars 4 BCFC 0

I was standing from the goalkeeper position. What I saw, we were very awful.

You people do not want to let me manage the team. So you went for this:

GK - Me

LB - Yee's son
CD - Kang Xiang
CD - Justin
RB - Yee

LM - David
CM - Alex
CM - Wee Zheng
CM - Kenny
RM - Nicholas

ST - Kelvin

Our beloved Justin plays most dangerous in the middle of the field. You brainiacs tell him to play central defence. Nicholas is not a winger. He is a good full-back who wins the ball.

I basically told our friends of more than 10 years this is my preferred formation:

GK - Me

LB - Nicholas
CD - Kang Xiang
CD - Jack
RB - Daniel

LW - Young Justin
CM - Justin
CM - Kenny
CM - Alex
RW - David

ST - Kelvin

What happened in the match? There was no cohesiveness. The first goal, their right-mid clipped a cross, and their striker just shoot the ball straight past. Sure, its my fault. I didn't stand 3 meters in front of the goal-line, they use their own ball to curse us, they do my face from newspaper so many years ago which I have to wash my face like OCD. Nicholas at left-back would know what to do.

The 2nd goal, Shyong Ming wasn't there. Do you people know most defender cannot play midfielder and vice versa? A very experienced Jack would know how to stop that guy when he shouted 'Mine'.

Daniel came on for Nicholas and didn't know where to play. Q-S has already blessed him with right-back. You still don't believe in Q-S?

If I was given the chance to talk in the 2nd half, this is what I would say: "Nicholas, stay at left-back, Jack stick with KX in the center. Daniel can do his Brazilian stuff on the right-back. 3 in midfield - Alex, Kenny and Justin. Boss the midfield. Young Justin on the left. David on the right. Wee Zheng, just stand in front."

But that's not the reality what happened. Oh yes Q-S cannot take the goalkick by himself. He keeps on staying on his line like guarding the gate on sports day in 1996. I tell you why. I'm scared they chip me from 30 or 40 meters!

The 3rd goal they scored, another ball over the top cross. We need 2 established full-backs to prevent crosses. Nicholas and Daniel. Don't let them cross! Q-S cannot stop that goal. I'm an inept keeper after saving around 30 shots the previous week. So this Saturday, due to the kindness of my heart, I will let Mann play keeper.

The 4th goal I had a hand to it so damn that.

We are not up to standard. Can we just play among ourselves every Saturday? I know your best positions more than you do.

Barca overturned a 4-0 deficit on PSG. Lets try with my formation and tactics.
