Summary by:
Tiger Yan
Massimo Taibi...a name not commonly known to people except those that started watching football since the 90s. This 'legendary' figure to Songbo is someone that they dun wish to be associated with. First, Taibi spirit starts to creep into our ever reliable PapaSoh....and now for the match 125....his spirit decided to flow into another person....Tiger Yan.
First half was a stalemate at 0-0, due to incompatability with Sparrow, Goal Machine and Tiger upfront. Just like the current England squad, the 3 of them has proven that they can't play together. With Papasoh leaving at half time for work issue, its Tiger Yan who took up the post.
Minutes into the 2nd half, with the abscense of our speedy Seafood King, the opponent races clear and one-to-one with Tiger....Tiger waited till he is in firing range and charges out....but with Taibi possessed inside him....he touches the ball but somehow the ball bounces off the opponent's leg and its 0-1!
"God damn it!" exclaimed Tiger. But its not over....2nd attempt saw a ball slide under his body after another one-to-one situation, but lucky CapiTan is there to do a last ditching clearance near the line. 3rd attempt saw Lam clearing the ball near the line after the ball bounces off Tiger.
When morale was lowest at this time, our Sparrow stepped up....with a through pass from Goal Machine from the centre mid...saw Sparrow chasing down the left side of the box and a left foot shot put the ball into the near post. 1-1!!!! Songbo equalised.
Minutes later, a long cross from Looney at the left flank was intended for Goal Machine, but he dumbie the ball to Sparrow and he was clear from the centre of the box, he dribbles down and slide it past the keeper. 2-1!!!! Goooooaaal!
"Beep Beep!" the referee calls for full time.
The team was happy and it was laughter at the stands. "Y u always so slow in coming out for the ball?....come out faster and communicate more..." this sentence keep repeating into Tiger's ears.
"I totally understand ur concerns gentlemens, but i am more confident staying by the line and use my reflexes to save the ball than coming out and give the striker an easier chance." explained Tiger.
Before they leave the pitch for their usual lunch session, Songbo members heard something..."hard disk now with who ah?"....the voice came from Looney.
