Team members:-
1)Wai Loong
2)Ming Yang
3)Jien Hui (GK)
4)Poh Wee
5)Chin Zen
6)Andrew (Sub)
Few highlights during the group matchesMatch1 (Wannabe A vs Tai Bee FC)Arguablly the best match of the day that team wanna played. Their opponent is apparently Ming Yang cousin's team
Wai Loong is on form scoring a hattrick with Chin Zen tapping another in making it the score 4-1. Wannabes won
this without a problem and their level of playing is certainly higher level that their opponent. Sweet revenge.
Match 3 (Wannabe A vs One Love FC)Going into this match team wannabe had already won 2 matches already. And facing their seniors is no easy task.
One Love FC took the lead early in the match with a well scored goal and hence leaving team wannabes with a daunting
task to find their equalising goal. Finally team wannabe got their equaliser right before the final whistle drawing this match 1-1.
Match 4 (Wannabe A vs Wannabe B)It is unfortunate for us to be drawn in the same team and to play against each other. We decided to treat this game as a practice
game to minimise injuries but accidents do happen i injured my last finger =( during the game. Wannabe A win this game with
a score of 3-1.
Other matches in the groupOther 4 matches in the group was won quite comfortable without a problem as team wannabe showed they have the capability to go all
the way to win this tourney. I was confident the way they played with high spirits but was worried with few injuries in theĀ team.
Team wannabe qualified to the quarterfinal match finishing second in the group with a record of 6 wins and 1 draw only losing by
goal difference. Hence they will face group A 3rd place team in order to qualify to the semis
Quarter final match (Wannabe A vs Soccerities FC)This match was the most exciting match of the day for me. I recalled people watching this game behind talking about this game is
like "Chelsea vs Man U". Passes, defending and tackles is often seen in the game either to prevent the opponent scoring goals or
to score goals. Team Soccerities FC took the lead quite early in the match with a defensive mistake by team wannabe. After the 1st goal
team wannabe was under heavy pressure to equalise as team soccerities began to play defending football putting in more tackles, pressuring
and markingĀ heavily to prevent the equaliser. The constant tackles backfired against team soccerites as a free kick is given to team wannabe
well into the 2nd half. Initially i thought it was Poh Wee will be taking the free kick but Chin Zen step up and scored the curling free kick in the
top corner of the goal to equalise for team wannabe firing the spirits up to find the winning goal. However the matches ended 1-1 taking it
into penalties. Wai Loong and Poh Wee scored the first 2 but Chin Zen missed the 3rdĀ hence team soccerities won the game in penalties =(
My final say I truly believe they will be able to win the tourney. Considering the amount of practice that Wannabe A had put in before the tourney
it is considered to be a very good achievement already. I felt sorry for Chin Zen for missing the final penalty. Note that the amount pressure on
him and the team will not even advance to the penalty stage if not for his free kick goal. Anyways good job to everyone for participating
in the tourney!
