Maurice was at HQ today so I managed to hitch a ride from him to the clubhouse for our weekly game (preview to the Champions League final tonight).
I wasn't feeling too happy lately but I decided to give it my best effort today. But being placed in a team with Chng, Maurice, Jeremy and Chin Peng (all the superstars), I never had to work hard. We easily took the first game 5-3. We hardly broke a sweat.
More people arrived, including the guys from Commercial and so we broke off into three teams and the game went on on a losers-out basis.
We played like 6 to 7 matches in all and lost only one. We won every game! It was unbelievable how we thundered goal after goal and moved the ball with slick passing and aplomb. In one of the matches, the opponents had hardly touched the ball after kickoff when Jeremy slotted the ball home.
I scored twice today, both carbon copy goals - right flank, chip using inside of right boot, ball sailing into goal.
I had an injury though. There was a loose ball in our half, and Senderos was charging towards the ball, right foot swung back and preparing to shoot. I charged forward, just in time to nick the ball away and boot met boot with a loud clack. His boot glanced off my shin, taking a piece of my skin off. Blood flowed of course, but I continued playing (its a flesh wound after all).
We were soaked when we ended but we had loads of fun today.
