Dutch Ball Breakers

Well played today guys, 5-3 up. Both teams had no subs so fitness played a major role. I for one was stagnant most of second half, the little stint in goals definitely helped the rejuvenation process. Anyway we mixed it up quite well today. Simon was all over the place again, powering through the entire game with super power. Quoc made a few good bursts and as usual held the ball well. Henry held it together in mid and D providing some good options. Derek's run on field saw some energy pumped into the game which we were missing in the second half. We passed back a lot more, learning from last week's game and drawing their players out to create opportunities. However as the game progressed, the lack of fitness saw less runs being made into open spaces which were being covered in the first half.

Goals came from Quoc and Simon, Quoc with a thunderbolt from way out and Simon with a desperation goal out of nowhere, accompanied by the 'desperation grunt' which saw the ball slot in through the keeper's legs. Defence was a bit better but the lack of Ronaldo on their side didn't really test us. Some minor lapses in d such as the rebound of a free kick with a player not covered saw them score their 2 goals. Wasn't it 5-3 though? Yeah, 'twas. Miscommunication once again saw an accidental header from Henry go right past Derek, a sight at which the other team started celebrations. Sif, you didn't even come close to scoring foolios (however it was a mad header from henry, if only it had been on the other side of the field :P).

Overall, GG all, well played. 7.20pm next week I think so we should have Heng too. Post if you can find more players for us or if you can't make it.
