Game 3 preview: vs Galaxy

Date: Sunday, 22nd March 2009.
Kick-off Time: 3:00pm
Venue: Intramural Playing Field 3
Jersey: Spain (Away)

I apologize for the deficiency of a match report for Game 2. I'm usually responsible for the previews but regardless there should not be any excuse. We won the match 1-0 thanks to a goal from Jerry, but could've, and should've won by a greater margin due to the number of chances carved out. Our right back is particularly guilty of a really bad miss, shame on him. That said the team have trained on Friday night and hopefully that should transform their finishing a bit more sharp and clinical.

Our next opponents are potentially dangerous, on paper at least. They, along with El Turcos and ourselves have been 100% in winning all their games. Some of the players seem to remember them from last year, which they claim we beat them then, albeit none of us remembering the final score. However that should not get into the minds of the players for if we feel too confident it usually leads to complacency and a terribly lax attitude. The team should go out once more and play their usual style of football - keeping possession, defending as a unit, you all probably know that by now. No injuries are reported although some of the players have taken knocks during training (Abdullah, Hafiz), and some of the players might have other commitments as well (Amar). So the team might go out with possibly the following plan:

Shawn (or Hafiz, depending)

Nabil (or Dollah, depending) --- Izwan --- Billy Joe (or Amar, depending)

--- Shah --
-- Hasan ---
Jerry --------- Baba

Aniep

Subs: Nasir, Khairi, Afiq, Adre, Salman

There was a really good turnout last time around, we, the players really appreciate it. We controlled the tempo of the game throughout, and had numerous shots on goal, albeit not finishing most of them. So we should stick to our usual style for this game and hope for better finishing insyAllah. The game's at 3:00pm, on a Sunday on top of that so it might be difficult for most to show up. But do note any support is highly welcomed :).

Till tomorrow, here's to a good game and a good turnout. Salam wrwb.

Lol, gitu2. Orang jahat camtu you just walk away la, nanti diaorang nampak lagi ridiculous marah sorang2 diri. Walk away, tak payah layan, play how you always play, insyAllah ok. Kalau kita layan nanti game kita sendiri pun disrupt, so tak baik lah begitu.
And jadi champions tu wallahu'alam la but man jadda wa jadda so if the efforts are there anything's possible. Tak menang pun takpe, bola bukan segala2nya. But team kita very capable so tengok la camna. Kau ni siapa pun btw, cam Tariq haha. Tapi Tariq Morgan doh.
