a street soccer "prodigy's" humble beginning...
This week marks a new chapter, the final chapter actually, of the corporals at 46Sar B Coy. The mono-intake people have started clearing their leave/off til their ORD on the 5th Dec. A company of 100+ people is left with less than 1/2 remaining and 30+ of them waiting for their NSF days to run out til somewhere in March and April next year.
Last night, very unlike and sporting of Kok Boon, jio-ed us to soccer at our company-line after dinner. We're definitely steady when the least likely person to play has decided to play lorz, even though I've already bathed and prepared to read my novel for the rest of the night le. Sorry to Eric for rejecting him earlier lorz, there's not enough people to play even if I agreed anyway =P. Anyway, we managed to have 3-v-4 initially which grew in size as we played on.
It's my 2nd street soccer match in my life and playing around people who really know how to play, makes me stand the shit out of them sia. I played terrible to say the least, though can't fault me larz, cos I simply dunno how to kick the ball! This sounds really funny cos I'll keep cursing and swearing at those millionaires playing in the EPL wk in wk out when they do stupid things, things which I did during the 2 matches I played, lol. Guess I can only be a manager of a football club larz, not a player, lol.
Anyway, the best chance of the game fell to me when I was behind the opponent's "defence line" just beside the cone(acting as goal post) and someone, can't remember who, probably Eric, lobbed the ball to me and with my back facing the goal, I somehow managed to turn with the ball, the ball being right in front of me threatening to roll outwards towards the right due to its pace. So I tried to steer the ball between the cones before it went out, panicked a little, and only managed to whack the ball at the cone and it went out. -_-" x infinity. Nothing more to say man, I bet everyone was thinking, "What the...", lol. I could only laughed at how lousy and stupid-looking I was sia, but since they were people I know, didn't feel that bad lar, they know my standard, they know I'm playing to learn and to train up my fitness. The ultimate joke was me scoring a goal again!!! BUT...it's an own goal...lol. My career stats so far? 2 own goals in 2 games. Perfect, isn't it? Whaha....
Hopefully there're more of such matches to come in the nxt few months and maybe by the time I ORD, with a bit of luck, I can kick the ball slightly better, and properly, haha.
