Football crazy

Thankfully I've recovered from a rather bad patch in my eczema (not literally), and was able to play football on Sunday and Tuesday.

On Sunday it was same 'ol, same 'ol, with the usual people shooting and dribbling but not passing enough. Then there was a little conflagaration over a little bit of nothing between Benjamin and Jackson and it was really cool to see Jackson doing the Italian thing by putting his finger to his lips. Damn saht man.
Overall had a decent game with a few stray passes because I couldn;t gauge my strength accurately. Our new Nike Aerow 90 (courtesy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Prince al-Nicholas) skipped off the wet grass really quickly.
Was great fun playing with Shawn and try as we might, we couldn't score past Jasmine in goal. Didn't dare to rembat either.
Lost 3-1 in the end. Did I mention it was raining cats and dogs throughout? What fun we had splashing in the mud.

Played at St Wilfrid's near Bendemeer yesterday. Learnt a lot from all the lao jiao uncles, how to hold the ball up and control the play, when and where to run, why you shouldn't run into the corner, why one-twos at close quarters are not a good idea, etc. It;s a great learning experience and with the number of people we had on the small pitch, it wasn;t all too tiring. Enjoyed the game and scored a couple, playing as striker then defender. If our Agape guys could play in this style we would improve tenfold.

Then went to Jasmine's for bacon aglio and Ben & Jerry's Cookie Dough ice cream! Yum!
