FICO

So today played a soccer tournament
at FICO, which is at Boon Lay.
The night b4 i watched as Man Utd
went down 2 - 0 to Spurs at half time.
This morning i woke up to the news
that they hit 5 goals back to win the game.
Fabulous.

Must have been a great game,
but i had to rest for today.

More about today, i wasnt very nervous about it
cuz i've had at least a little bit
of exposure to Open Category competitions.
I knew what to expect.
Moreover, the pitch dimensions and surface
were things that I am already very familiar with.

We had a decent start when Wei Xiong bagged a hattrick
to win us the game.

The next game i went in to score the opening goal.
I dont know why, but everytime i score
a goal in a competition,
my memory of it will just be a
blurry sequence of events.
So i'm nt rly able to describe how i scored it.
All i remember is i shot it through the keeper's legs.
I guess its true when they say,

"A well positioned goalkeeper's weakness
is the space between his legs"

We had a 2 goal lead but then gave it all away
when we conceded 2.

Then in the third match, we failed to hold on to a draw
and conceded a late goal, resulting in a loss.

In the last game, which i did not play at all,
we won 7 - 1.
We had to in order to gain the best
goal difference possible.

But it didnt matter cuz the other team
contending with us for 2nd place of the group
qualified with just 1 point more than us.

By then i had already realised
that as with any other previous occasion,
i would fail to make it to the
Round of 16, or quarter finals.

Still, i dont go to these competitions with high hopes.
All i want is to gain more exposure
and enjoy the run about.

Now that i've done those 2, it's about time
i get going on my assignments.






i never tot i would get addicted to them.

Taeyeon is teh love...
