Times up... Start the game as the dice begins to roll... Today is the Charity Soccer Tournament. Alright, my team is USA while Hakim's team is Ghana... While the another Alumi team is England. We begin our first match against England and we won the match. Hard fought match is the way I would describe the whole thing. There are many opportunities for them to score... However, Eugene did well to parry it... Furthermore, a mistake done by England, cost their match. First, a back pass to the goalie and a penalty is called. I took it and went into the net... After that, Jack scored back after I gave him a pass... We went up 2 but the last minute, they strike back with a goal... 2-1...

Next match... we played against South Korea... Jimmy and Jack scored the goals... I was the goalie for the second match but I let in a goal. Seriously, I'm not a goalie... i'm just a person who would charge up front... Haha... Anyway, I exchangr roles with Eugene and everything went smoothly... haha... 2-1 is the score again... However, the next match was against Sion's team... The team of terror... Fairos scored 3 goals and we levelled it back with only a goal... by Jack again... Well, his shooting is much better than mine... I admit it but I think I could have done better with more practising. Anyway, we lost 3-1 by then... We are down, like birds got shot down...

After a short rest, the match continues while we went against Argentina... We got to win it again... A 1-0 victory... It was a nice strike from Jack and Jimmy was the keeeper for the game. I try to play things fairly since there's a gal in the opponent's team. I dont want to hurt anyone... Anyway, I tried to be fair and square... lots of opportunity to strike the ball into the net but mostly missed. I striked once that went to the side-netting... AR!!! What luck I have... After that, a match against Protugal... We lost by 3-1 again... I mean... By that time, everyone was exhausted. We are the only team that are having odds that go against us. I will explain that later... Anyway, I wasnt running much by that time... My muscles are getting tight and my injuried leg start to ache again... What a luck... Anyway, we lost the game... Finals is not in our mind now... We keep looking if England had lost any match but they didnt. In the end, they pull through to the final...

We had break... Lunch break... Now I would say the part why the odds were againsting us today... First, we look at the scoreboard... We played 2 games within 45 minutes... While the rest, each played once... Within 45 minutes... Never mind about that... Holland and Argentina didnt even had the chance to play yet. This means that our match are at top piorities... What the... That's a killer for us, no wonder we got injuried easily... Next up, our players... We have a total of 5 players... Just nice for a team... Since you people know that a team needs 6 members, we are considered at a lost.... The 3rd thing is that we didnt have a good referee on that match... If you people had looked closely, the referee would give the foul to us rather to the other team, who had fouled us. I mean... back tackling... Not without a card... What the... I know that being a referee is a tough job but you are doing things that go against us... I dont want to say names since its over... Names are not important at alll... It's the experience...

The last match in the fixture was USA against Holland... We lost again... This time... I cant blame any of my teammates... One of my teammate, Ajuna (think its like that.. Anyway, Mr Sham's son...) He had cramp on both legs... Although we need to win for the team's pride at stake, the whole mood change... We do not have any subsitutes... No choice but he still wants to play the goalie role... Anyway, we lost 2-0... However, we must look upon our teammates safety... Even if we are one man down, we must still continue to strive... Perserve all the way....

After the thing, we went to the nearby coffeeshop to have a drink... Realising that everything is over, we just enjoy our drink... However, Hakim ran to us and said that we had 3rd placing to play... Just look at everyone's faces... All shock!!! Everyone went back... Ran to the Cage... Haha... While for me, I drank my drink halfway and I dont want to waste it so I got the cup and can and ran back... (I did tell the stall owner that I would return the cup to her... so no worries.. No bluffing... hehe...)

We played and we were leading but mistakes is what we had done that make us had a level draw of 3-3... What the... I scored once... Jack too... and Jimmy... In the end, due to poor defending, we are down... Alright... Penalties and we played... We continued for the 5 rounds and we played suden death... What the... After 5 rounds of sudden death, we still lost the game... it was the 11th strike... I was the kicker and I missed it... Too bad... Not everyday is Sunday... We got 4th but I look at everyone, they still feel quite fine... Phew... I mean... penalties are quite hard to play... to win in penalties take 70% of footwork... 30% of luck... Since mother luck wasnt in our side... Too bad.. However, what I hope that we understand that the teamwork is still there...

After the whole thing... Everyone assembled at the pitch 1. By then, I had just finish my shower and joined the rest. However, I recieved cramps both of my legs... What the.. Thansk to Jonathan... He helped me to lift my legs up and ease the pain... OUCH!!! That hurts for sure... Both legs... Again... When Siva announced the sporting behaviour awards... I was named in it.. However, I went to took the prize with a foot hopping around... The pain... WOW!!! Super 'good'... You feel like lying down and take a nice rest... Haha... Anyway, things went well for all of us... Fairos got the top scorer award... with 23 goals... He's super fast... In one match, he hitr the net 7 times... That's scary... Haha...

Well... Charity soccer is over... I know Ajuna would understand something important... He starts to learn that whatever he do, he must not feel scared... he keep pressurizing himself... Fear that his opponents would be strong. Actually, he is not weak at all. He did it very well in the defending... That is what the spirit that I want him to learn... To be a man... You got to do the right thing... You did it dude... Told you... Do you believe in me?? Do you believe in yourself.?? If I have confidence on myself.. You should too... be with me dude... Stay with me, fight all the demons... Anyway... Nice game everyone... Rest well and start schooling tomorrow...

While for Alex... Hey... Sorry to hear that you got a red card and you are forfeited for all the matches... Anyway... You still won 2nd... Relax and smile dude... Although you are the only one who got the red card, it is still a good thing... You break a record for being the first person to have a red card in today's tournament... Haha... Alright, stop all the sarcastic stuff... Hope you enjoy yourself... Even though without playing much... While for everyone in the tournament today... Hope you people like it.. Rest well and study well tomorrow...
