Starting Lineup: Pussy, Thief, Super Lusty, Lost Sailor, Computer Geek, INCREDIBLE SULK, Mascherano-wannabe, Small Sparrow, Ah LAM-par, Married Jack of all trades, 5 sec CUM
Set amidst lush greenery and great scenery, this field in Woodlands muz be one of the hidden treasures within concrete Singapore. It was so ulu that 82nd KC(supposed to know every corner of S’pore took half a day to come) and CCK kids (driven by North-familiar Jack) were late.
Opponents were a bunch of lau jiaoz with a mix of old uncles, China dudes, Terry Pathmanathan lookalike and Enciks. They looked strong and pretty organized from the pre match shootaround. Nonetheless, the match started smoothly. Songbo was using their typical discipline and organization to stifle the hard running and experience of the opponents. There were few chances far between with possession lost on both sides. Small sparrow, with a couple of misplaced pass to SULK, was one of the main culprits.
As the first half reached its halfway point, the breakthrough came. Thief, who has been improving by leaps and bounds from stolen manuals, turned defence into attack immediately with a great headed clearance. Ah LAM-par did well, brought the ball forward before unleashing an unstoppable shot which take a slight deflection off a defender and beat the outstretched keeper. Songbo’s goal has come against the run of play and injects a much needed boost to their confidence.
A goal usually does wonders. In no time, a corner was won by the team. From the resulting corner, 5 sec CUM planted a firm header beyond the keeper, albeit a deflection before the ball went in. 2-0 and Songbo was in cruise control. Halftime.
Halftime talk was about the matches 2 weeks before which Songbo did an AC Milan. Beneath the brave façade displayed by Small Sparrow, it was the fear of losing a 2-goal lead to a strong opponent. ‘Stay focused and take chances’ was the call from the talk.
The second half commenced and there were nothing between the teams except the score. Just as the score seemed to remain stagnant, a long punt by Married Jack found Small Sparrow. With one touch trapping the ball, the second one was a blast which sent the ball to the roof of the net. Small Sparrow thought it was a brilliant goal but according to Pussy, the opponent gk was as old as his father and he could have easily saved the shot. 3-0 and the game was as good as over.
The drama did not stop there. A notable incident in the second half was the scuffle by players from both sides towards the end of the game. A China dude striker appeared to elbow Geek and Geek retaliated with some virus sent to his body. Small Sparrow stepped in and gave the China dude a elbow of his own and the match almost turned into a boxing match between Geek and China dude. However, the melee died down quickly and Songbo collected only their third win of 2008.
Note of the match: Unsung hero Ah LAM-par tracking of their main man, Terry Pathmanathan lookalike, tilted the game in Songbo’s favour. We are improving in identifying and stifling opponents’ main men. Well done team. Let’s move on from this lesson and learn new tactics as we play more matches!
P.S: Thanks Kel for the zua-ing before Small Sparrow moved his big ass to write this report!
