4th Tournament...Piala Amal Pandan, 18th Mar 2006

Our fourth tournament...Bob and myself were the ones who really wanted to enter this tourney...somehow, we were under the (false) impression that the teams entering this tournament were not "kuat"...hihi....padan muka.. coz syarat nak masuk tourney ni "kene tutup aurat"..heheh..."kalu tutup aurat, tak kuat ler team tu...."

Tourney : Piala Amal Pandan 2006
Venue : Sportsplanet Ampang
Date : 18th Mar 2006

List of Players : Bob, Bidin, Embi, Matad, Pak Lah, Shahril, Wafi and Yus. (Shahril and Yus are "imported players". I knew them from our stint as Arsenal FC Supporters of Malaysia (AFCSM) futsal players...heheh...)

3 teams in a group..top 2 qualify for next round...

1st group game... against Pandan Jaya FC...we were outplayed...silap strategi...We lost 0-2...Wafi did put it in the net, but it was over-ruled for an earlier handball by Yus..they could have scored another 1 as well...open goal....teruk laaa we all....

2nd game...against GMI FC... we lost 0 - 1...again, we did put 1 in...but it didn't count because earlier, the kick-in that preceeded it was not taken correctly....aduishhhh..more on that later...History made. 1st time lost a group game (twice). 1st time failed to progress from group stage. 1st time I failed to keep at least 1 clean sheet in a tournament. 1st time team failed to score, although we had 2 goals disallowed, 1 in each game.

later, when we were leaving, there was an announcement calling for GMI FC and Tok Jinjang FC to have a penalty shoot-out...wat the...rupenye urusetia tu ingat our goal in the 2nd match tu kire...so keputusan seri 1-1...jadi kene ada shoot-out...kesian mamat GMI tu...tp kan..nasib baik it's with Tok Jinjang...Bob and I went to the urusetia..."takde bang...tadi kite kalah...gol tadi tu tak dikire...kitorang dah nak balik dah ni.."

Those GMI kids..."terima kasih bang"...Fair play award anyone? hehehe

Summary:
Wat to summarize, we sucked..oh ya..we did learn some things
1. kalu tourney cam ni..amik 6/7 org jer pun takper...byk sgt sub kelam kabut (altho the main reason i brought a full squad is to keep the costs per player down..Entry Fee RM160 woooo)
2.kalu nak amik import..amik defender laa..Tok Jinjang forward ramai...
3.if ur best players not available...jgn masuk tourney
4.the pitches at sp ampang seem to be smaller than those at sp sunway..betul kaa?

ok...No goals scored..no clean sheet...shit
