I Feel Superior...
The time is here... I have waited for it for the past few months and it's finally here... Today, the stage is set for the World Cup Finals in Germany to start rolling. People from all over the world would like to watch the much aticipated matches in the Finals. As for me, I'm getting a bit crazy with soccer. I dont know how and why. I just really dont know why I'm such a big fan for soccer. thanks to Eugene and many other friends of mine... Soccer turned out to be my life... Haha...
Anyway, I'm just too happy today. One thing that make me happy is probably World Cup is coming. Another thing that makes my day go well is how I played soccer with Farhan, Eugene, Jack, Gavin and Fazil. Although I was a bit slack, I think I did well when I turned out to be serious. Haha... The game was quite fun, at first... Why I say that? I dont know, I was the goalie at first but I really wanted to run about since its been a week or so before I do that. After I got the chance to run, it was 'SHOWTIME'!!! I didnt score a goal at first. The rule set by our team was who scored the goal would be the goalie. In the end, only Farhan and I didnt score a goal at all. Every one was like... erm... 'not happy' with us since it was unfair for us not having to take the goalie's place. After that, they keep changing rules. I mean, the rules for the 'You score, you be Goalie' didnt change but for Farhan and me, we need to score a goal or else we would be goalie for the rest of the match... Haix... no choice, I tried to score...
I tried but not good enough... I only gave good passes that's all. One of it is that I stopped my opponent's ball with a tap from my leg. The ball rolled between the person's legs and rolled to Jack's feet. Just like what I did, Jack did a tap too, ending it with a wonderful finish as the ball goes into the post... GOAL!!! Haha... Nice play between Jack and me... That's what we call the Art of Soccer'... hehe... Anyway, back to the issue of scoring my goal, I did try to do it but it was deflection... Haha...Whatever, everyone still want me to be the goalie. They started to say all the past History of matches that allowed a deflection to be the scorer's goal and not an own goal... Whatever, I still need to do that... Haha... Goalie for once... hehe...
Anyway... After Gavin came, I wasnt the goalie at all, so no worries... I did many tricks... or should I say pure luck... I tried to pull back the ball, which ended up the guys saying that I dribble backwards... What the... haha... Anyway, that was cool but I would like to practise that again... Hehe... Soon, the game became very bored... Jack was slacking behind... Farhan wasnt playing his best and Fazil wasnt being supported up front. Since that period of time, I was feeling a bit 'Sian'. I dont know why... There's this feeling that tell me that I should do something about it. Maybe I should strike some goals... it may kill my boredom... I actually did that... with additional pattern... why I do that, I just love doing that. Consider it as giving a try since I'm a fan of Cristiano Ronaldo and I like to see players doing tricks too. I just put my best in it... Did a few nice shoots and patterns... I feel good, that's all. I mean... Its a game for me to enjoy and it's not about winning a Championship or what.
I admit that after attending the course of Sport and Wellness Management, I realised that no matter how bad is my playing, the team still sticks together. The good, the bad or the ugly, all kinds of outcomes... From the Charity Soccer Tournament on wards till today, my character did change completely... From a person who is hot-tempered in matches to a friendly guy. When people lunged tackles at me, I feel angry but I would still know how to control it and be friendly to them. Although I still keep cursing but that's me. I really use cursing as a way to release my temper. Hehe... Strange me... People have their own ways of dealing temper, me too... Anyway, I really enjoy the game today... All super friendly smiles... Haha... Wow... I like that feeling...
Before we end the match, we had a penalty. Gavin saved the shot and the ball was deflected to Jack. At that time, Jack was standing next to the pillar, with the 'sian' look, waiting for the penalty to be taken. When he got the ball, he just charged forward... Furthemore, the penalty taker was the goalie, there was no goalie at the post at all. A open goal... Thats what Jack did... he scored the last goal... Haha... in a cheeky manner... Now every one knows why he was standing at there... Waiting for opportunity to strike... Cheeky dude but a nice move... Haha... he was scoring quite a number of goals... Not bad...
After that, we have a short rest and we played 3 on 3... Poor Gavin, he was being tricked by Farhan and Fazil at the end of the match. He was running left and right to stop the ball... Haha... Nice try dude but you still need to train more. Eugene was the guy who started the 'One Leg Kicking Man'. Since he some sort of injuried his leg, he played with one leg.. Haha... Funny with style... He still managed to score with that one leg... Haha... I did score a few goals too... Happy to do that with some skills... 'Think before you take a move...' That's what I have learn and it will still be a useful advise for me... Haha... Always... in order to improve myself... Haha...
Cant wait for the World Cup now... Just another half an hour and the first would start... However, I must apologise to Violent Gal that I cant call her tonight... A man's business... That's a proper way to be put in... Haha... I know that you wish to have a chat but why dont after 2am. I do love chatting with you but realised that my phone bills might be high and my Mum would kill me next month... Haha... I'm trying to have short conversations with her but still couldnt... Haha... However, in my mind, I still like to chat with her for a few minutes or so. I dont know why... something fishy is wrong with me... I think I'm thinking too much about phone calls that's all... haha... An old man has his own troubles... That's me... trouble with phone calls... Haha... that's all for today... Hope you like my soccer story, Diana... Haha...
