Soccer Season Review

Wow, time has flown away so fast. Now, our season is over. The drama should end but somehow there is still off-season drama. A transfer saga is still on. it is currently involving our soccer captain. Our school's prize asset is now deciding whether he should continue his stay with us or start his B'division season with Singapore Sports School.


I really hope that he does continue with us (who won't lor) so that we do not need to worry about the west zone when we all become sec 4 coz during this season, we all were very lousy ah. OK, maybe not that lousy. We trash a lot of schools but all the man of the match were our captain. So now if he leaves, we may not beat JVS le. And I so hope that that does not happen. Really, I wish it will not happen and it seems that we will not let that happen if our captain does not leave us la. I also expect another final against Spors School and it is with our captain. Wow, and I will wonder. Hmmm....... will the refree become kayu again or not? That seems to be a interesting question. Somehow I feel, he will be a kayu one again. We shall see ...........



Hm......................... do you want to know the outcome???



But before that, this is what that has been happening in the school. His desicion took so long. Many tried to convice him to stay. Especially his girlfriend. Haha........ See, soccer players seem to be famous within the school but I seem to be an exception. Not bad. I fight not for famous within the school. I fight to prove to myself that I was good enough. I fought so that I brought back glory to God whom gave me this talent to play soccer but success had always been in his hands. Thank God for allowing me to be 2nd in Singapore but it seems not enough. I aim National Champions next year. Though it seems impossible but through God, all things are possible. AMEN!!!!!!



Ok, i think I have drag it to long so the outcome is:



After a long and hard decision, a desicion which was always a 50-50 % changes to leaving and staying and already some people thinking that he is a betrayer and will go to Sports School, he finally made up his mind having discussing with his parents that he will be..............................................................................................................................................



STAYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Ok, guess why he nearly wanted to go. He wanted to go Sports School Not because of the better coaches and equipment but because he will not need to travel up and down to Sports School for NFA training. My reaction was " Wat!!! You go wanted to go there just to save time? Like what the.... you can cry when you receive the form but still may go??? It is dumb, really. You rejected the chance then now again may be go. Like wat siah. It is saga over saga about you only sia."



but I give credit to his "girlfriend" (ok, maybe not official but he admit le so as good as official), whom is none other than our class monitoress : YASMIN !!!!(Scream like sissy, people!! Haha)



Well, this season has been drama from beginning to end. Winning the West-Zone seem simple to many as we trashed teams over teams and went throught the Group stages with a 100% winning record so we entered the semi's facing Regent Sec and guess what, we trashed them too!!! 3-0 was the final score. It is so cool scoring goals like the cash that Bill Gates gets every day. So many goals, I lost count. Lets see, we scored 5 against Hua Yi Sec, 5 against Swiss Cottage, 3 against JVS, 14 against Clementi Town Sec, 7 against Chestnut Drive Sec,6 against Kanji Sec( The school that allowed me to score my FIRST bicycle kick goal!!), 5 against Zhenghua Sec and now, other 3 goals against Regent Sec but they can feel good since only it was 3 goals they allowed instead of 14 goals. So look at the bright side, you guys lost to the RIGHTFUL NATIONAL CHAMPIONS, whom outplayed Sports School.



So it was the West Zone final, where JVS showed that they were crazy people. They brought the amount of people that filled up 5 BUSES!!!!!!! Only to see that they were to be 2nd in the west in just 20 mins. Play beautiful football against us and lose. That easy an equation. So 2-0 up were we then lighting had too struck so the game was cancelled!!!!! What!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We played so hard though, it was no performance showed during the National round. So we had to play it again. But we won it 2-1 only as JVS played like suckers, 10 man behind the ball. That tactic should be ban. So hard to score, scared to play attacking football against us. So no adventure, 2nd is your place. I remember that we only scored in the second half, the match when i assisted our captain. Then JVS scored after slugging the ball into the net. kicking here, there til it went in. Then all we needed was 2 mins to score the winner. To easy le bah. I played left wing!!! A position, I have never played for a year!!! And we still score in just 2 minuted time after you played so hard to equalized. So west zone champions le. 100% winning record is there.

Then we flew all the way to Medan to train for our nationals which I think paid off lor. The food there was wierd, they were poor but still were very good. They scored so fast and were 1-0 up then we up our play and I scored!!!!! My first goal against Indonesians!!!! And my first with my new mizuno boots!!!! But it end 5-1 at half time, So Sad. Then we showed the whole world that we were no push-overs!!!! We held them to a nil-nil draw in the second half where I played in the centre of midfield. I was difficult since I never played there before and was not experience there. And with people who could expolt mistakes, I was scared lor. At least, I played my role. Haha.............

Now the national zone was much more difficult lah, winning Bedok View Sec 2-0, our keeper scoring the first goal from a long kick!!!! Can you believe that!!!!!!!!! Then we somehow lost to Regent Sec 4-3 after a trilling encounter. The 3rd team keeper and players that do not get to play played so that could be the reason for the lost but maybe we were over-confident. I usually will be nervous but against Regent, I was not even afraid!!!!



So Siglap Sec was next. They scored in the 2nd minute and we could not lose this match if not we were out. We equalized at the 19 min but they scored somehow later in the secong half and we had only 10 mins left to win the match. I was sub then so all I could do was pray. And in 4 mins we were winning!!!! What drama indeed!!!!!!! And we manage to hold on.So then came Bartley Sec, the school that defeated Sports School!!!!!! Man, how afraid I was but we still won 2-0 after trying so hard and I made new friends too then. And up next Sports School!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was now more afraid as the coach kept on saying that defeat will most likely mean exit and we lost 2-0!!!!! We played well but defence errors costed us.



So now, 2 games left and somehow, things turn into our favour, the group was open again as teams kept on drawing and we had yet to draw so down come the draw kings, Kent Ridge. I missed a open goal then but we were still leading 1-0 up so it was ok until the 90 min where they scored a extra time winner from a free kick!!!!! How sad we were. Siglap could have gone through like that but we still had a chance so Final Matchday arrived. Fuchun was left and we were now favourite after Siglap drew 2-2 against Fuchun. 2-1 was the score!!! We won while Bartley drew which mean that we were through!!!!!!!!!!! I will always remember the Fuchun game. The match where I scored my 2nd bicycle kick of the season. WWWWWWOOOOOOOOO............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So now, the schools left were Greenview Sec from the east (2007 National Champions), Queensway Sec from the south, Sports School from the north and Hong Kah Sec from the west.

The semi's fixtures were:

~ Greenview vs Hong Kah

~ Sports School vs Queensway

And the scores were Hong Kah Sec drew 1-1 with Greenview Sec and process to the Final after a nail-bitting match decided on penalties with Hong Kah winning 5-4 after trailing 2-1, 3-2, 4-3. Then Sports School proceed to meet Hong Kah after scoring a 90+ minute goal which I have a feeling the refree gave it to them since every refree favours Sports School. So what, if they have the name, so what if they have the "best" players in Singapore. Other Schools can beat them but refree give EVERY decision in their favour!!!!!!!!!!!

So Sports School were our last hurdle. And in the 7th minutes, I was fouled and our captain, no. 7 scored a beautiful free kick so 1-0 then 20 minute, their player dived in the penalty box then the kayu refree just awarded a penalty!!! See, they give it to them. All Sports School score come from decision that refree give to them in their favour so in other words, They suck!!!!!!!! Then we scored a goal!!!! But he kayu refree said we were offside. Then when our player injured, you take advantage of that change and let Sports School score. What Crap is it when a person says Sports School were the deserving Champions. Even video show the kayuness you have. 3 videos, ok, all show the same things. All show that Sports School suck and refree kayu!!!!!!!!

So it ends there, our season in the C'division. Drama was eveywhere. Last minute wins, Last minute goals. Incredible comebacks and great matches. So now what past has past now, I will have to look forward to the future in the B'division but I seem to be a lousy player and most likely a bench warmer next year or a non-school team member. We shall see but I hope I am in the school team and become National Champions!!!
