training luck

Some cool goals taken from youtube. No.2 is truly a gem. How did he do that? pure luck? Try asking a skopet player(aza) how do you train luck, the answer would be to pray a lot, do good deeds and refrain from sins. karma eh?

In that case something is definitely wrong somewhere cos we're out of luck in getting matches in recent weeks. The Lianhua field is always booked while getting SSC fields proved to be difficult since many schools closed operation. So be prepared for more away matches. This week will be at 3pm BALESTIER ITE. More details to come.
Nonetheless the last 2 weeks without games is actually helpful for those having exams, knowing that they didnt miss anything. Not that it matters since Adiksal was spotted watching a movie last night at JP when he was supposed to be studying. Ohhh.. no time for soccer but got time for movies.. ishk. soccer match = 90mins. body of lies = 2+ hrs. Sigh how to major in maths hah.

Still on the topic of lucky/funny goals we do have a couple of our own which blurs the boundary between luck and skill. And in true skopet fashion, I give you our top 4.

4. On Lianhua ground, Sop(who else) hit a volley from distance which looked rather tame and weak.. until it bounced at the last minute away from the waiting keeper and into the goal. The keeper was shocked. luck or skill? skill, according to sop pet, he put an extra spin to the shot. right..

3. At Fuhua Sec, Toyol got a rare winner when he slotted the ball home after a series of mesmerising walking dribble. The ball rolled slowly into goal but the defenders who made an effort to chase and slide and whatever could not stop it in time. Skill, the walking dribble at its best would appear to slow down time. haha.

2. Against Hatta's RI team, I mishit a shot after coming on. A slow grounder rolling to the keeper.. the chance of going in was 0%, until the keeper scooped up the ball and over his head into goal. wtf? haha. Definitely skill, no way a keeper can make that sort of blunder right? heh.

1. And finally the numero uno goal was against a chinese team at Dunearn Sec. Zai bacul, having played as a striker a couple of times including that game, was desperate to score his first goal as a forward and came close on couple of occassions. His patience paid off as the ball bounced off his chest from an adiksal pinpoint cross and into the goal. Luck. nuff said.
