Are we the victims of our own success? match coordinators seem hell-bent on giving us the toughest of matches! these days there are a new breed of challengers the likes of babylon and galacticos. young at mid twenties, all full of attitude and confidence, and play good football, hardly a weak link in those teams. we, a bunch of 40 overs which such teams would love dearly to humiliate. no chance, we lost today but scored all the goals. first half was evenly played, we had our share of possession playing a neat passing game. mel soldiered on bravely with his thorougly ravaged feet, kept a clean sheet at half time. we also took the lead through a well placed free kick from wah (chye giving way to brotherly love). 1 nil at half time and the lousiest player no. 16 of galacticos was starting to feel pissed and made silly noises.
mel's ankle was now making noises of a different type. bravery must be tempered by sensibility. gan took to goal in the provocative no.69 keeper jersey. chye was somewhat right we didn't cross our half in the second period. galacticos brought in their no.29, who previous led their comeback in their 3-4 loss to us in nov at st wilfrid. we're under sieged most of the time but held well until late on. they had a corner kick and even their keeper went up for it. and it was he, formerly a singapore youth team defender that leapt the highest and nodded the ball towards goal. kwan was having it covered but it took a deflection from hleong and they equalised. more pressure followed as we couldn't string passes together and they had a break down their left. a low cross into the danger area and as ng tried to cover, he did better than hleong with an attempt that bear more conviction that the earlier one. gan stood no chance.
so that's a good night's sleep for galacticos. if they had lost, they'd be walking zombies tmr. and no.16 would be heard all over pasir ris.
