Those were the days.. Where Amos played a sport called soccer.. haha

Haven updated my soccer section these few post.. haha..

I only caught the 2nd half of Singapore Vs Liverpool.. Two words.. CHUI..
Okay, obviously i'm kidding about the "two words".. haha
But really, the defending, was a joke.. Even i can tell you basic defending of marking a man, mark the man, not the ball.. So obvious the defenders were all ball watching.. Look and look, keep looking to see where the ball will go.. Never realised a striker behind has already ran past them..

I remember the Torres goal vividly.. Come on, look at Kuyt, when i saw him run into the box, i straight away knew from his body language, a cross in to the box for Torres.. Torres was in between the centre back n right back, and none went to spot his "obvious for all to see where he gonna go to just tap the ball in" run.. What they doing?? Hoping for offside ah?? zzz.. Jia lat..

But, i never liked the way liverpool played.. If you think about it, my brother was the one who intro me to soccer.. And since he was a liverpool fan, i should be also what, but instead, i am his arch rival's fan, Manchester United.. I dunno why, something about Man United, when they play, it makes me wanna just call everyone to The Cage at kallang to kick soccer..

It's like they're my inspiration.. You know when kids play soccer.. And they all love, let's say Man Utd.. They all go like " i wanna be Rooney", " i wanna be Scholes" kinda stuff.. Then there's always "I wanna be Rooney also, too bad, then you be Nani!! HAHAHAHA!!"

That's why there's always a player to look up to when you play soccer.. Like i wanna be Beckham, bend like him, or Ronaldo, stepovers.. I've tried to copy alot of different players ever since i started.. I tried the Giggs's direct dribbling at defenders where you constantly move the ball whlist the ball still near your feet so that opponents will not dare to tackle you..

There's the beckham frenzy.. At one point i love to do long passes at Millenium Court or always take corners and freekicks when we play field.. There's the Paul Scholes power shots where i kept shooting with power instead of accuracy.. haha.. Then of cos most recently the Ronaldo stepovers..

There was also a season of OLE, lobang-ing people.. Nike spread the OLE fever.. But the weirdest thing was, i started OLE-ing people way before that fever even started.. Way back in Sec 1 and 2 where we intro our classmates to soccer..

All were still noobs.. Nicky, Hp, Matt tan, Jun and even AMOS!! Wa.. Amos, bet you almost forgot last time you play soccer wif us right.. The keeper that cant be moved, was my nickname for him.. haha.. Cos he would just stand at the goal, and just when you thought you are gonna score, he saves the ball from going in..

Those were the days, so easy to lobang them.. haha.. Everytime i lobang, i cldnt bring myself to carry on playing n chase the ball, i straight away will stop and laugh at them.. LOL.. Si be jia lat..

Those were the days..
