just now we played our NFL match against singapore power club. it was a 'big' gun clash as both teams are vying for promotion into division 2. before the match, spore powers are in 2nd place while my team, elias park is at 3rd place. the scenario was simple for us. a win for us will put us a favourably position to get promoted. a draw or defeat will not be good for us. and now i tink our promotion dream has a big problem after we drew 0-0 with them just now. they were a totally different team from the 1st round. in the first half, our coach got to make tactical changes to keep us in the game. we were quite poor in the first half. we could have lost the game by halftime. they dominate the first half with their players quickier than us. for me.. i started the match as striker but halfway in the match, my coach wants me to play centre mid coz they are dominating in that area. we managed to keep ourselves in the game at halftime.we started the 2nd half with a plan. our tactics changed. we are trying to soak-and-strike. it almost work wonder as we managed to stop them from dominating us and attacking us. they only managed to have a few shots at goal in the 2nd half. we could have found the winning goal if we took our chances well or if the ref (kayu) award us a penalty (handball) late in the game. but it was a fair results for both team as both played well. it was the first time this year tat we managed to find a worthy opponent in this league. and also for the first time, we kena outplayed in the first half. nobody outplayed us in this league until we met singapore powers. gd luck to them man.. they are lookin good for division 2 football next year. as for us.. we have to win our last 3 games and pray for miracle. we can only wait and see.. we concentrate on our games first before tinkin abt others. pray with me...
