Looking for a light

Well where do I start people?

I am smiling much more today than the past 2 days, and its mainly cos of today's match. It was an alright match I think, we arrived on time, and started soon enough, warm-up was alright. But of cos, what is girls soccer without the drama? Pre-match saw Salome being disallowed from following us cos she had to take a bus. Poor girl burst into tears, and I had to try and pacify her. I’ve never seen Salome cry dat badly before, and the people in the bus looking at her crying outside, man u only see this shit in oscar-nominated movies, such was the emotion running in the match. It was also sort of a testimonial match for Shi Min and Claudia, so indeed there was a great rojak of feelings in the bus.

The match started soon enough, and we went 1-0 up thanx to a good finish by Jing Jing. Brilliant half volley, right to the corner. Second half was quite scrappy but still added a bit more to the lead courtesy of a handball in the box. The last period was where I fielded my so-called best team, with Claudia and Shi Min making their appearances. Added two more goals from a brilliant lob from Jaslyn, and another merciless finish from my Chinese Assassin Jing Jing.

I think somehow our striking problems might be solved. So anyways, went back to play a bit more before calling it a day. Now I need to plan something for them on Friday so that they can relax a bit, I think all of us getting a bit tired over soccer, and need a break. So Alex Smith was ranting and raving about playing hide and seek at East Coast, then there were suggestions of floorball and also basketball. Haha. Anyways, Jolyn asked me for an individual analysis, which I promptly gave, although Viv said, "Just check his blog."

Alright here I go, got 30 girls to go thru, so I will have to keep it short.

Farah
Din even touch the ball! Haha, so cant say anything girl. Sorry….bleargh

Jasmine
Did well in marking out the wing, overall steady and assured.

Grace
Improved by leaps and bounds really. Of all the people, I would say nobody works harder than Miss Chong. Even Miss Tan said Grace improved a lot. She deserves this.

Audrey
This girl is as cool as a cucumber, I mean like, she is definitely calmer than me. Haha. Brilliant.

Jie Min
A few mistakes here and there but she is really fast and tenacious, assured performance.

Christl
One of her best games so far, Christl ran and ran. Great performance, erased a lot of doubts in my mind.

Jaslyn
Superb performance from Miss Leong. And the goal capped it all off. A really dark horse ready to shock the world in this years comp.

Vivian
Does her job as per normal, and a superb assist for Jing Jing. But of cos knowing her, she is always pushing herself to greater heights. Dats Vivian for u.

Jing Jing
2 goals on your debut. Name me the last time this happened. Period.

Eileen
Did well in her time out, needs to keep working on her touches.

Michelle
A bit bur as to where to stand but its alright, she will learn.

Wei Shan
Tried her best to get into the game, but involvement was rather limited.

Deborah
Very useful player, Deborah is slowly but surely getting better.

Wai Yen
She also barely touched the ball, so cant say much.

Shu Yu
Didn’t have the best of games, mainly cos she was nervous and all, but I know she has it in her. I noe it.

Si Hui
Superb lar this girl, the best I have seen her perform.

Alex
As usual, as much of a joker smith is, she never abandons her player, seriously, I would hate to be marked by smith!

Stephanie
Stef's vision is one of the best I have seen in the division. But I hope she can play better, I would say she can def. perform better.

Tan Xuan
Did her best, needs to work on her positioning though.

Shi Ling
A girl with great potential, but very susceptible to mental lapses, which worries me. But I have never doubted that she can finish a ball.

She Fong
Played much better in the last period. Decent performance.

Li Wen
Decent performance given her lack of experience. Li Wen is a humble girl always willing to work hard and I respect dat.

Sara
Sara made some good passes, and despite the short time playing, she played well.

Wara
Wara did not manage to get much into the game, but she has to work on her passes.

Claudia
This girl is a great talent really, and we will miss her on the left side, but its alright, Claudia I hope you are proud of yourself, you are brilliantly brilliant.

Shi Min
My speed demon will be missed, played like a girl possessed, we will miss u.

Charmaine
Did not have much to do, but did well when she was called upon.

Phew did I miss anybody out?

Please tell me if I do, I am quite distracted with Idol playing in the background. Alright will talk more tomorrow.

Out.
