Its soccer time!

It’s Saturday yesterday and I would never have being awake by 12 noon If not for make up lessons for my lab. Sometime people are just so calculative and they just can’t be flexible. Imagine going to school to sit in the lab for just a mere one hour. What can one accomplice in one hour?

The make up was supposed to be from ten to eleven but I woke up late and reached at eleven. After spending there for one and a half hour, they have to close the lab. As the soccer section was supposed to start at two, I went to the basketball court near canteen two of the campus and borrowed a basketball to shoot some basket.

After an hour of shooting and a short three on three friendly match with the people over there, I pack up and make my way to the street soccer court at bukit batok.

Some of my friends were there and when I arrived, the game can commerce. As we played, more of our friends joined in and by four, we had a total of six teams queuing to play. Three teams were our friends and the other three were challengers. We played two goals and the winner stays in the court. By five most of my friends who started at two were too tired to move and we were left with one team. A few went home and the rest sat down behind the goal pole to be spectators. Loads of noises were created and the whole street soccer court was filled with fun and laughter throughout.

We ended our game at six thirty and just before we went off, we had our game with the best team among the six teams. They opponent scored within seconds after we started the game and we thought we were over but we persisted. I played defender alongside two other defenders leaving one striker up front. The opponents have great footwork and they displayed excellent coordination and teamwork among themselves. We were pressed throughout the game and shots were coming in like meteor showers. Our morale was raised when our lone striker put in the ball after fifteen minutes of defending. We started attacking and all of us know that if we did not finish the game in 10 minutes time, we will be finished, as all our players have reached our limits.

As what my friend says, it takes a second to score and it takes that single moment of inspiration to create the goal. The lone striker took a shot on one of his attempt but the ball was deflected. I was making my way up front and when the deflection came, I bought it under my legs and controlled it. I dribbled it and hid behind the lone striker and gave a shot right after emerging from his back. The goalkeeper had no time to react and lucky to say the ball was on target, going toward the top left hand corner of the goal post. The whole game ended this way and every one of us sat down on the spot immediately as our legs cannot support us anymore. This was the longest and most enjoyable game since I had injured my leg on one occasion. The game ended and we made ourselves to MacDonald before heading home.

The next day, I woke up at eleven in the morning and realized that my skin was so scorch red. I felt hot the whole day till even now where I am typing to you after a nap I had…
