Songbo FC Breaks Club Record

With a Win on our Match 56 (our blog shows Match 54, so there are some match reports missing...), we have broken our previous run of 9 unbeaten games from Match 18 to Match 26. The previous record breaks down into 6 wins and 3 draws. Our new ongoing record of 10 unbeaten games consist of 8 wins and 2 draws....that's championship form guys!

Let's work together to further our record. With some of our teammates' recent form, most notably Rujia with 8 goals in his last 9 games, it should not be a problem.

P.S. That's a quality report from Jackie...I think it's a good idea to ask him to write more reports next time.

Match 54 - Win

Starting line up: PapaSoh(GK) Kai Cheng (RB), C Cup(CB), Kenny(CB), NBA Star(LB), Thief (LM), Leg Cramp(DM), Sparrow(CM), Looney(RM), Ah lam (AMC) and Kelvin(FW)

Match Location : Dunearn Sec School
Kickoff Time : 9am
Opponents : Green Globins

We approached this match with gloom knowingly from the news of an injury to our Tiger Yan, news is that he has incurred the injury thru a sports game in school. But injury aside we are still psyched up for this tough match with the green globins.
Match kicks off at 9am sharp with the eric lookalike botak as the referee. It started off as a fast pace match with lots of running and chasing for the Songbo team as the Green Globins controlled the match with one of their midfield man pulling the strings for them. Songbo FC is under immense pressure for most of the 1st half and in the 30th min GG finally broke the resistence defending of SB and scored a fluke goal through a shot cum pass for a tap in by the black globin.
SCORE GG 1 SB 0
SB kicks off again knowing that we have to put in extra effort in order to bring the score level, and not surprisingly SB fought back and score a goal through the sublime skills of the Cap Sparrow. He pulled through from the GG defence and dribbled pass not 1 but 3 defenders to score the equalizing goal.
SCORE GG 1 SB 1
Close approaching half time and SB stood firm with their astute defending and we go into half time with the score level.
--2nd half--
GG kicksoff the 2nd half without their main midfielder and the GG looks like a lost cause on the pitch and looks like they will be slaughtered in this 2nd half of the game with their lethargic passing and defending. And within 20 minutes from the restart, Cap Sparrow strikes again with another similar goal from the 1st half, by latching on to a through ball and dribbling pass 2 defenders and scored the goal that puts SB in front.
SCORE GG 1 SB 2
Within a few minutes from the kick off Ah lam finally scores with an exquisite shot from outside the box, the ball curled pass the on rushing defenders and into the top corner. wat a goal to seal the match.
FINAL SCORE GG 1 SB 3
The scoreline could have been even more emphatic if not for some stout defending from the GG side. But nevertheless it is a great result for the Song Bo FC and they looks set to continue their winning streak.

Match 53 - Win

Starting line up: Tiger Yan(GK) Lusty (LB), C Cup(CB), Kenny(CB), NBA Star(RB), Looney (LM), Leg Cramp(DM), Sparrow(CM), Spar Tan(RM), PapaSoh (FW) and Kelvin(FW)

Match was at Dunearn Sec for the dunno how many times and the opponents were the uncles that counting this time shld be the 3rd time we facing them. Though we held on higher agrregate 3-2. Old uncles were clearing missing their key player DM...who basically can outhead anyone in the midfield. Songbo had more chances and more possession in the first half. The breakthrough came from Looney who unleash a looping cross from the left flank and all it takes was a simple head in by Kelvin and 1-0! Songbo was in control.

Sun was hot and Tiger Yan was on for PapSoh and Ah Lam for Spar Tan. 2nd half was totally in control again. A super long throw in by NBA Star from the left flank saw Tiger Yan latching the ball inside the penalty area. Standing exactly at the same left side of the penalty box....Tiger Yan unleash an upstoppable shot into the top corner of the net. 2-0! He finally did what he cant did the previous match (but was reprimanded by Sparrow for hitting the ball too hard). The unlces were down 2 goals and patience was clearly losing. They subbed in an uncle wearing basketball shorts....though looking damn cock and funny, he is one kind of a loser...keep playing rough with Songbo and in one moment he hit the legs of Ah Lam without any threat....clearly a person that dun seems to have much success in life. Ah Lam was a nice guy, he heck care the uncle and carry on his game. Another shortie uncle to take note. Wearing 11.....he was bascially trying to agitate players rather than playing ball.....and after having a go at nearly all the players....he found his target.....Looney!
The game though getting tighter but uncles were uncles...they made mistakes. A chip from Leg Cramp saw the ball travel towards the penlaty area....the uncle wearing the basketball shorts tried to head the ball but it bounces back and Tiger was there to capitalise on the loose ball....he took past their No.11 and slot it home....3-0! Woohooo.......clearly in cruise control.
But closing to the game....Songbo gave away 2 goals to the opponents and things were getting a bit jittery. Not long later....their no.11 had a bad tackle on Looney and both were swearing at each other, clearly not putting the referee in sight. The young indian referee decided to flash red cards to the 2 of them and off they go.
Match ended 3-2.

Things to learn: Do not fall into the traps of opponents. The little stuffs they do is to break ur temper and concentration down. We need some penetrating through pass from the midfield to add dimensions to our game. Against a team with not much skills.....we shld try not to give them much space and time to think. Once they get the ball, go in for them and make them panic.

Match 52 - Win

Starting line up: Tiger Yan(GK) Lusty (LB), C Cup(CB), Kenny(CB), Thief(RB), Ah Lam (LM), Leg Cramp(DM), Sparrow(CM), Spar Tan(RM), PapaSoh (FW) and Kelvin(FW)

The match was played at the lousier field near NTU main field. Due to the orientation grp using the field, we have no choice but to move downhill and play. The opponents were not as well prepared as us....the match started with they having 9 players on the field. But Songbo was never a world peace team. They capitalise on their handicap and field 10 men against the opponents. Field was muddy but Songbo had way too much experience against these newbies. Few minutes from the start, Captain Sparrow unleash a weak long shot and beat the GK....not long later....Kelvin added 2 goals....and papsoh grabbed one also. But due to lousy goalkeeping from Tiger Yan, he could not catch hold of a weak free weak and it rebounded to the opponent for him to tap in. KNS...4-1. Few minutes before half time....Sparrow unleash his trademark long shot and this time it looped over the GK and its 5-1. Half time.

Tiger on for PapaSoh, junrong for Kenny and JunMing for Ah Lam. This time opponents had same number of players as Songbo. The game was full of jokes....Songbo for the first time saw how slow a man can run(Junrong)....how a man can trap a powerful ball using his tummy(Junrong) and how a man command the whole back four with less than 3 match experience(Junrong). Songbo also witness how Tiger Yan with close to 10 clear cut chances...jus managed to score 1. The game ended 6-1.....kudos to Leg Cramp and Sparrow for cutting off their midfield supply.

Things to Learn: Do not act u wanna get subbed in when u are wearing jus a pair of slippers. Do not act u r limping when u are getting closer to ur teammates. If u wanna limp, limp from the start. Dun try to keng and cast doubts the match will continue due to some rain.....dun ever try cos the RSM is out to hunt u. Wearing predator boots and driving Lexus dun gurantee u success on field.
