League Table @ 240808

Leader for the week, Men'sChestHair.

To the rest of the teams, it would seem that you've gotta earn your right to have your team pics put here. Alas, so many pictures, so little space and as mentioned before, nobody cares about runners-up.

Fight on, teams. The season is still early and the fat lady is nowhere to be seen.

Current standing @ Week 2/5

1. MCH = 6 pts / GD = 2

2.FLT = 4 pts / GD = 10

3. JC = 4 pts / GD = 4

4. LLF = 1 pt / GD = -1

5. RM = 1 pt / GD = -15

Please note that in conjunction with Merdeka, there would be no matches this weekend. However, the court will be opened for play-play between 4-7pm. C u there!

Week 2 In Review : 24 August 2008

Match 4 : Real Madreed vs Live-Like-Fools (3-3)
RM looked like lamb for the slaughter after last week thrashing. LLF started strongly and controlled the match while RM pulled everyone backed trying to starve off the attacks. However, it was RM who scored against the run of play when Mervyn put a grounder past the stranded goalkeeper. Stung, LLF pushed harder but can’t seem to find a way past the four man defense. Lady luck seemed to be smiling on RM as they pulled ahead with 2 rather fortunate goals from Lawrence and Christopher that really demoralized LLF.

LLF at last got a lucky break when Oon’s shot bounced off Mervyn for their first goal. Continued pressure on RM bore fruit again when Jeremy grabbed another goal. RM at this point were holding on for dear life as LLF is hell-bent on not losing this game. RM saw their first win of the season evaporate as Oon grabbed a late equalizer with the last kick of the game.

MOTM – Christopher (RM)


Match 5 : JC vs Men’s-ChestHair (3-4)
Hornyau stung the confident JC when he scored unmarked from the center. He heaped more misery when a moment of brilliance saw him sidestepping a defender, cuts in from the left and scored. Kavaldip and Shawn combined to draw JC level. Daniel pulled JC ahead as temperatures continued to rise at this point, culminating in Jeshua receiving his second yellow card of the season when he tackled Weeliam from behind. In the next play, Edrian dispatched a harmless looking long shot. However, Aaron spilt the ball and Weeliam gleefully sent it into the back of the net to level. Later, an unmarked Weeliam received the ball from the right and found himself one on one with Aaron again. Again, Weeliam delivered and JC were left ruing their mistakes.

MOTM – Weeliam


Match 6 : Real Madreed vs Florence&Tina (0-10)
No, it wasn’t a typo in the scoreline. RM, feeling tired from their first game, couldn’t muster enough strength to push back the FT typhoon. Goal after goal went past the hapless keeper and RM only wish is for the referee to blow for time quicker. Scorers for FT are Lil’kev (3 goals), Alwin (3 goals), Raymond (2 goals) and Ryan (2 goals).

MOTM - Alwin

Daylight Rescue

Freedom of the press

Remember in our previous posting, we mentioned that our reporter was captured by the Beijing police for trying to sneak into the stadium? Well, we've tried all diplomatic channels to secure his release but no go. We've also tried offering financial assistance (bribery is a dirty word), tak jalan also.

After all the hoo-haa about who score what goal last week, we realized that getting back our star reporter is of the utmost importance. Hence, for the benefit of all participants of the league, we launched a multi-national joint black ops with the CIA, FAM, LFC and Milo (majulah sukan untuk negara!) to rescue him from Beijing. Since this is a black ops, we couldn't reveal the names of the agents involved.

We are extremely glad to inform that the black ops was successful. Our reporter is now safe and sound in an undisclosed location, albeit a little shook and roughed from the intense interrogations while in custody.

We expect you guys to think that we're talking bull and walking cow. We're not and we've the video evidence to prove it.

Week 1 In Review - 17.08.08

Due to the unexpected progress of Lee Chong Wei into the final of the Men's Singles at the Beijing Olympics, we've dispatched our one and only staff reporter to cover the event at Beijing.

Consequently, we were unable to cover the matches played this week. However, by gathering bit and pieces of information from reliable and unreliable sources, internet chatrooms and chatters and phone tappings, we managed to compile the results for this week matches :-

Match 1 : JC Barf-Alone Ah (2) - Florence&Tina (2)
Scorers : JC (Lionel, Daniel), FT (Melvyn, Lil'Kev)
MOTM : Melvyn

Match 2 : LLF (0) - Men'sHair (1)
Scorers : Weeliam
MOTM: Andy

Match 3 : JC (7) - Real Madreed (2)
Scorers : JC (Shawn, Jeshua (3), Lionel, Daniel, Hantu) / RM (Suresh, Lawrence)
MOTM : Jeshua

We shall endeavour to give a more detailed report next week.....as soon as we can secure the release of our sole reporter from the Beijing police custody (he was caught trying to sneak into the badminton stadium without a valid reporter's tag.....futsalfeva is not a recognized news agency mah).

Cheers,
Editor

Season 5 is here!

After 2 months break, the Futsal League is back.

But before we look to the future, we must dwelve into the past for there's no future without history.

Here, we'll take a look at the past champions :-

Season 1
Champion : AC Melon (Team manager : Kevin Tay)
Runners-up : Who cares?

Season 2
Champion : Real Madreed (Team manager : Gilbert Thong)
Runners-up : Why bothers about losers?

Season 3
Champion : Shiock 04 (Team Manager : Kokwai)
Runners-up : if you aint' first, you ain't nuthin!

Season 4
Champion : Sell-Si FC (Team Manager : Shawn)
Runners-up : once a loser, forever a loser

After 4 suspenseful and splendid season, none of the managers have managed to win back to back title. This just goes to show how close and competitive the league is.

However, it is common knowledge among the more well informed ones that there's one single player who is super duper consistent through out the 4 seasons....he's featured in every team that held the anchor position in the league season after season. (By the way, anchor position means bottom ahh, not top :) Due to legal issues, he shall not be identified here but let just say he hails from peking and best eaten waxed.

Sorry if your team names are not featured here. If you haven't got the cue from above, let me put it bluntly....history doesn't remember losers;

...And history are written by the victorious. A case in point the extraneously elongated thesis disguised as a blog comment posted by one victorious manager. If I didn't know better, I would have thought he won the World Cup with a bunch of part-time struggling footballers. Perhaps he watched too much of the old tv series called Dirty Dozen, where old Kojak would assemble a dozen of prisoners for do-or-die mission and they would triumphed against the odds, week after week. Don't see much resemblance with Kojak there, sorry.

Welcome to the new season, to a new ball game!
