It's half time at Old Trafford now and the scores are level. Hmm. Let's hope Fulham manage to pull off another win at Old Trafford and maybe Man U will concentrate on beating Porto off in the coming Champions League.

Oooo....very tired. Morning played 2hrs of football. Din really do too well although I did manage a goal and a piece of assist. The thing is that defensively I still suck and probably I need to improve on my tackling. Also I tend to lose the ball unnecessarily cos my acceleration sucks... Anyway I am tired is because in all today I played 5 hrs of football. The other 3hrs came from playing with the kids downstairs at the street soccer court and playground. My brother did played with me together at the playground. He was really so superb that the whole crowd was memerised by his moves and then all started to copy him but of course they couldn't emulate my brother's skills. I mean he keep 'nutmegging' (I explained before in the previous blog this means 'lobang' in Singapore) and whacked a very stylo powerful outside curler that made all of us stare in awe... I played a fool in the same game cos the kids were playing too dangerously and I tried to educate them. That was futile as they were all seriously uneducated people. Playing near the playground posed so much danger to the passerbys and the property around. They still whacked so hard without proper aiming. (Yeah, my brother whacked the hardest, but that was a great aimed goalbound shot that I think only the best goalkeepers could save, but since the keeper was a small kid that means a definite goal) Anyway they just left when their party started and i went to look at the people playing at the street soccer court. Soon they asked me to join in as one of them was tired. I played keeper position and was promptly knocked out. Haha. The next game I played a non-keeper position and soon they knew I was not to trifled with. In all I played 3 games consecutively. Scored 3 and assisted 1 (2 goal KO match). In the third game we were knocked out because my shoelace broke and whenever I took a shot my shoe flew and of course that drops my accuracy so much. Anyway I did really well so I am quite satisfied.

Hope you guys reading this won't mind that this has become my personal soccer blog! Hahaha. I mean my life is only soccer now so hope u guys understand.
