Long day...

Hey I just arrived home after a long day... It gonna be a very long post so yea read it if it worth your time...

So yeah, basically as on my previous post I have this NSSL Street Soccer tourney. Guess what??? WON? LOST? Its Neither! I woke up @ 9++.

White Wolfton vs Matador FC
So I went to play for my ESPZen League team Matador FC at Bedok North Secondary pitch. We were up against White Wofton FC. Giles Jacobsen was slotted into my position in the 1st half while I played the 2nd half. Giles was unlucky to have conceded a goal after we've been dominating the game for 30mins or so. Its a hard fought game towards the end and I was rather lucky not to concede any goals on my part. Below is the link for the further match reports.

K1K FU vs Renaissance FC
My second game was at Choa Chu Kang with my D2Dsports League team K1K FU. This time was against Renaissance FC standing in the 3rd position with just 2 points between us lying on 4th position. Below are the match reports from me as the D2Dsports website not yet updated.

We were really complacent must admit until they equalised our first from courtesy of Navin Nambiar's goal. That didn't stop us from showing complacency. We were too over-confident and thinking child's play. Eventually we were down again due to defensive error and my goalkeeping errors as well. I misjudge a through which led to our team conceding another.

Half time stays at 3-1 credits to Renaissance FC. We were still laughing our asses out for being too casual. After the half time interval stepping our foot into the match pitch again. We were back to us, a team that we actually are. Focused, determined and we started communicating like we have been.

Kick off into the 2nd half, we were building up with a goal from Morales. A superb dribbling with a similar turn and shoot by the ex Netherlands international Johan Cruyff. Exaggerating may I sound but it was really beautiful as its an acute angle with minimum chances to score. It did beautifully leaving the opponents shell-shocked for the moment.

That didn't demoralise the opponent, they were attacking their hearts out wanting to increase their lead. It paid off when a mistake by my centre-back, Fizree. His intention was a dummy to me which unfortunately led a glorious through pass to the visitors instead. I dashed out of my line to close him down but the quick thinking forward fooled passed me eventually me pulling him down in the penalty area.

RED CARD!!!
The forward skipped passed my last man then me created an offence by pulling him down in the box so its a definite RED CARD and a penalty was conceded! I was furious to the max! Not to the referee showing me the card which led me to the dismissal nor the guy which I pulled down. But to Fizree whom made the silly mistake. He was unaware that a man was running. I know I was harsh shouting at him as I was walking off the pitch.

So I handed my gloves to my other centre-back, Yusman and left for an early shower. Penalty was conceded passed a player playing a unatural position. I was cooled after the shower and apologised to Fizree for being too harsh on him earlier and he too admitted his mistakes. I'm glad i'm playing a team of matured adults who bear no grudges off the field after a "in the pitch" incident.

Its a game that all of us wants to forget and learn not being too complacent. Final score 4-2 credit to Renaissance FC.

Work cancelled
Last game ended late and I was scheduled to work at 7.30pm. Terribly late. I met up with colleague cum classmate, Azhan at Toa Payoh. He informed me that the manager told us not to come tonight as its too late already. We informed them before anyways that Sunday we are unavailable but they insisted on us coming and mentioned that they don't mind us being late but just to keep them inform if we are really late.

So yea no big deal anyways not that I don't care but it has been explained and stated in the application form before being officially employed.

Will be updating my next post regards to last Friday's evening @ Toa Payoh McDonalds' between both of my classmates. It shall be titled "Will they ever be?"
tata!
