Took part in my school's sports day yesterday... as usual what sport could i possibly play? soccer of course... what game could be more exciting and adrenalin pumping than the 'beautiful' game? well we had a strong ensemble of players... it was almost perfect really... whichever position you name... there's always someone who's tailor made for that role... and rightfully so i claim the right side of midfield as my own... haha... it was a 7 a side game held in NUS SRC... our team started the tournament well with a 1-0 win over some smelly foul playing team named titans... so much for brawns... it doesn't get you ANYWHERE jerks... coming up... the semester 5 team which never got into the finals all their life... a comprehensive 2-0 win for us... NEXT ! the last of which was a motley crew of army singlet boys fresh out from NS... haha... what to expect? they're nothing... whipping boys at most...heehee... and i scored the only goal... helluva scorcher from just outside the box... WOOOO!!! hehehe... BUT who was to know fate would dealt us a fatal blow, finishing as group leaders, we played the underdogs of the other group who finished second... it was expected to be a walk in the park... and true to expectations, we bombarded their goal for most of the entire game but was shattered by a single goal out of the blue... it was their only chance and they definitely made it count... it was not helped by the fact that they played so negatively, packed their defence like sardines, and played rough... damn... whatever happened to idea of the 'beautiful' game?
