International Friendly
Yesterday, I went to tampines stadium to watch the game btw the Singapore national women's team and some Vietnam club. The score ended 2-1 to the Viet's but most honestly speaking it could have been 5-1 or 6-1. Truth be told though, the Viet's were wasteful in attack and Singaproe could have well scraped away with a draw.A few things were apparent.
1) The viet girls were very composed
2) They were faster
3) They were fitter
4) There was much more chemistry
But I thought the Singapore girls gave a decent account themselves especially in the 2nd half, when they began to relax. I felt it was rather naive to play 1 striker upfront smaller than eileen against a stronger team, but well dats the coaches choice I guess. But I firmly believe that the Singapore girls are just as skilful but perhaps were a bit nervous in the atmosphere so resorted to pumping long balls.
I was happy they scored though, and they clearly enjoyed it too, celebrated as if they just won the world cup.
One funny incident was the hecklers in the crowd, which some of the girls didnt realli appreciate. But as I told them, they were just saying wat was prob. on everybody's mind, albeit in a coarse way. But wats a game without such colourful characters.
The women's dept. at FAS has come under some stick recently in their tagboard. Read shekickstoo.blogspot.com
Dont think they realli deserve it though cos this year the publicity for the game has realli gone up and so has participation I feel. But well to each his own. Perhaps some day I can be of use to the dept. but for now, I'm not.
Thanx to all those who came yest, it was good to see all of you make your way down, even those like Jasmine and Dorcas who live so far away. Wouldnt have happened last season or the season before (no offence seniors but i think you'll agree too) and of course to the sec fours as well.
Appreciate it.
Out.
