The Name of the Game??

Yes, U.N.C.L.E. I know. You don't have to remind me that I will be missing out on this weekly "outing" for the next three weeks. And you are seriously stressing me out when you said you look forward to reading this. So, without further ado... here's the blog. The first thing that caught my eye was the knee guard on Simon's left leg. Too much dancing perhaps, while teaching the PSS contestants how to dance. Then it was Simon's sense of fashion, and his "Who's Singapore's next Top Model?" pose. Then I thought, maybe it could be about the boys and their fashion sense. There is Remesh and his "bowling shoes" with his Man Utd jersey. Alvin wearing his "Made in China" Chinese jersey, and U.N.C.L.E.'s back to nature mentality (bare his top lah). Then Remesh collided with Rongming, and Junior commented "Oi! The youngest player on the pitch lang ga the oldest!" But experience does comes with age. Rongming just charged

After a “tough” journey, I finally arrived at The Cage with office mummy. While she became the Security for the Boys (take care of the barang in the picture), I finally get to see how the Boys KO inside the Cage. With both teams decided (Chris, Wenchong, U.N.C.L.E, Peter in one team, Daniel, Alvin, Chin and Remesh – I hope I got it right), it was fun time for them and Wenchong immediately forced Daniel into punching the ball away. U.N.C.L.E. refused to let Wenchong hogged the limelight, but his shot hit the upright two minutes later. Rongming and another guy (Algan??) arrived fifteen minutes later and they were playing with five-a-side. If I’m not wrong, Wenchong finally broke the deadlock in the 24th minute from an acute angle. Rongming then made his presence felt as he sent his shot past Chris, the keeper on our side. This keeper seemed to have become stiff after a long lay-off and nearly caused the ball to roll into the back of his own net. Luckily he managed to recover in time. Sen

When the Media Team "hit" the pitch, a shirt was found lying by the side. Looking up, we saw that Johnni has decided to bare it all. I reaslied that he was wearing the Chelsea shorts Alvin bought from Beijing. I was even more puzzled. Why the shorts, but not the shirt? After the game, he told me that the shirt couldn't absorb sweat! He had no choice, but to take it off. Rested for about two days after the BIG KO on Sunday, Raphael returns to the fray. Join by Chin, Wenchong and U.N.C.L.E. Both U.N.C.L.E. and Chin were carrying injuries. So, U.N.C.L.E.! Your backside still pain? Hahaha! Meanwhile, Wenchong made his presence felt all over The Cage, making his opponent confused with his fancy footwork. Jeff Mak made his debut at The Cage, while Chris and Daniel mark their returns. They all took turns at goal. There were some quite amusing combinations in between the sticks. First, there was Daniel who was tall and lanky at one end, and Chris - big and stocky - at the other.

“Whatever you do, don’t tell Raphael anything about our formation or players!” This was the strict instructions given to the players as the BIG game loomed. Raphael is playing for the opponents. Chin, Wenchong and I were determined to field a decent first eleven on the pitch before the big KO. After “chopping and changing” the formation on paper, it was decided that Chin will keep goal while Dave play in central defence, even though Dave is a goalkeeper. Chin was very serious about this game and even bought a pair of Italia gloves for this outing. Talking about formation on paper is a total different experience when it comes to actually lining the players on the pitch. First of all, we don’t really know their individual strengths and weaknesses. Our team, in white, took on a complete new look on the pitch as Dave, Chin, Peter and Wenchong reshuffled the formation after some serious prep talk with some new faces. While Raphael’s team get ready, our boys did their warm-up. As time was ru
