My friends invited me for soccer today. They said we were playing in some cage. So i thought we'll be going to kallang but we actually went to east coast: FUTSAL. There were 4 teams including us where most of our opponents were adults. It was a group table 'tournament'. Their body contacts were as if they were playing rugby. We were intimidated just by watching them play. Ali almost wanted to go home. Haha. But we just gotta take this opportunity and gain some experience. Honestly, it was my first time playing on synthetic ground and so, there were a couple of times when we slipped. Besides that, i found it hard to kick in our intended direction. I just don't know why. I used the similar technique which i have been using in school, and it turned out to be useless on synthetic ground. People were pushing very hard and 'ramming' everywhere. But we managed to pull through all the matches. Though we won 1 and lost 2 matches. The scores of matches which we lost were not that far too. And i managed to score 2. Hehe. You can't imagine how hard it is to score even a goal. Everyone was playing very fast, trust me. Once you have the ball in possession, you only have seconds to think of what to do with the ball. Else, you'll be humped. I became tired even before the first match ends. Surprisingly, we managed to clinch the bronze award for being the 3rd on the table. This is something we should be proud of because our team is only made up of teenagers below the age of 20. Nevertheless, it was really an honour to play with those adults. There was sportsmanship. I really look forward to playing with them again.
