Just got back from the first day of the street soccer competition. Wat a journey of ups and downs so far.


First match vs NTU A, the girls were realli big sized, height wise I mean, and were not bad on their feet. A combination of mistakes and plain bad luck meant they trashed us 4-0, had a feeling in my mind that this was just one of those days again. Charmaine had a bad game, and I was kinda pissed but didnt realli show it, I guess this kinda thing happens sometimes, Ive been at the end of it a couple of times myself. but anyways, 4-0 to NTU.

2nd game was vs The Fundamental Elements, funny name, they were not bad actually, but we got our act together a bit better, and Rynette was definitely commanding at the back. Still it was a narrow win, we won by 2-1 and the tournament was back in our control. The girls played a bit better, and confidence was picked up a bit. Interestingly, as pointed out by She Fong, this was our first win EVER, since the team was formed. Sounds pathetic I know, But i'm very proud of the girls. Had to leave Charmaine out, and I realli felt bad about it, but it had to be done.

3rd game was vs The Munchkins 2, and we actually only needed a draw to go thru, but came out firing and won 4-0, definitely a good performance by the girls. Overall I didnt think we were outclassed ina ny of the matches, and did prove our worth.

But tomorrows a much bigger day, the teams are much better, and they realli can play. Some of the girls move like guys I tell u, and was quite a sight to watch. The only sad part is that most of them were butches, Malay ones at that, so, oh man, lets just say I let thier feet do the talking, ONLY their feet.

Tom is a big game, and we have to do realli well. I hope I can crack my head with some effective tactics to counter the ore skilful teams.

To the girls, cheers to all of you, you guys rock, we've come so far already no turning back ok!!

Out.
