MY TURN... and the previous post looks insulting...

Sigh... stupid festival of sports. Yea yea, "it's only a game", but try it, and let's see whether you truly feel the same way...

O well, at least we tried hard... After all, defending football requires "immense discipline"... which is probably the reason why Greece won Euro 2004... AND, the moment you leak the 1st goal, you are probably dead... which is the reason why Greece lost all 3 group games in Euro 2008... and how the hell would I know the same damn luck would befall us...

Actually we were never favoured to progress out of the group stage 1 la right, got S6G and A12... but heck, give it a try, things may turn out differently eh? And so... we started kicking balls...

O yes, before I forget, most of us ended up playing with NO soccer boots, and all of us played with NEITHER shin guards NOR high socks... so much for the rules, PE department 自己讲，自己爽...

Ok, 1st match, against super-strong S6G. O well, our team consisted of an attacking frontline made up of 100% CHINESE, and the backline were all LOCALS. And poor me, attacking defender... No wonder my legs feel so sore now... So, against a team a lot stronger than yourselves, what do you do? Yes, play like Greece. It worked... nearly. At half-time the score was 0-0 (c'mon, there's a lot to cheer for 6K in that)... then in 2nd half, this sucker just bombed the ball forward, and it curled and was very high and i-duno-what-other-adjectives-can-be-used AND... it flew past goalie Joel and into the net. SHIT. DEAD.

Lala, at least we did a bit better than 7B (sorry guys and girls)... Never mind, still got 2 more games... O YES, 2 MORE GAMES... and so, our 2nd game started in the worst possible fashion, playing with 2 men less due to *ahem* 2 fellows forgetting to come back after watching too much basketball... when they came back, we are already 1-0 down... And I forgot to add, it happened when i was forced to lead the attack... and didn't have enough evergy to run back... SO, 2 games lost, by the narrowest damn margin, and we're out of the tournament...

Never mind, 1 more game, against S60... supposedly easier sia... but still...

It all started so promisingly again... 1st half ended 0-0... defending well again...By the way this idiot, while I was backtracking to mark the guy running down the right flank, came out and bumped he out of my way... repeatedly, with his arms sticking out... i swear to GOD, if i wasn't keeping my eyes on the ball I'd have stuck a foot out and made him trip and eat artificial turf... And for that matter, might as well just kick him out of my way... That''ll show him that blocking others like this is not allowed... Anyway, he did get his rewards, falling over after Jeremy cleared the ball later... serves you right sucker...

Then it happened. I didn't defend properly again. Sickening, things ALWAYS happen the moment i forget to backtrack in time... should have just slid the ball out of play ARGH... And so, for the 3rd time, we were down 1-0... got pissed... attacked more, forgot to defend again... 2-0... damnit gone case...

Erm ya, so that pretty much sums up the day of the 6K soccer team... sorry fellow Chinese, i couldn't defend... and sorry fellow Singaporeans, i couldn't attack... We only conceded 4 goals, and yet we couldn't even secure a point... HARD LUCK...

And after that, I drank and drank and drank and drank and drank and drank... and ate and ate and ate...

Our dear PE rep was the best... I passed him the paper he printed out regarding fixtures. He took it, stood up, tore it up and threw it into the bin. Simply brilliant, Yuqun...

SIGH...

(you guys know who I am, I don't have to type it out anymore)

PS. any updates on basketball?

PPS. Remember, we won "ALL BUT 3" of our games... AND, we finished FIRST... from the bottom...
