Friendly: NFA u-17 vs SIM

A fairly evenly contested first half tt ended 0-0 soon turned into a 4-0 whitewash by the kid cudis of the NFA u-17, all barely legal t enter zouk but with their meagre 50$ pay/mth(WTF!), it shld b well enough for them t stay happy until 18 beckons.

Well, the pitch was great and d weather was second t none, we were all well soaked n d passing was fluid and nice. big pitch tt allowed us t hone our ulu pandan passing and well, it was a good run out lads.

Now lets focus on our IVP. last game, which like what coach Marko predicted, it would b d 2nd most vital yet d crunchiest game for SIM in our history. A win wld secure us firmly on top of the group and qualify spectacularly, a draw might jst b sufficient whereas a loss wld see our fate swinging in d direction of ITE vs RP.

Guys, enough talk of having our fate decided on teams like RP and ITE. its time t take things into our hands. bag a win, play like we nv ever before and if we get d win and qualify, i will ask the gaffer t bring us t d famous Sahara t whack a couple of pints, on his tab of course :D

Lets get everyone started by TRAINING TOMORROW, MONDAY @ 7PM.
Following by, TEAM COHESION TO WATCH ITE V NUS @ NUS @ 7.30PM. Attendance not compulsory but wld b nice t bond around, following tt would b our standarddddddd shisha!

Howay the lads!

Jalan Besar Std, 7pm KO
Please reach by 5.30pm and portray ourselves as professional as possible as SIM Soccer club.

We will be warming up in Yellow and playing in Grey.

Lets keep our unbeaten streak going.
Remember this, the future of SG football is over, the future is SIM.

Ciaos.

ITE vs SIM

As you guys knw the group is so tight that it may jst come down to goal difference at the end of the day.

We used to fear our opponents, we used to approach the game thinking of how to reduce the deficit of the loss, we used to go into the game feeling inferior BUT, not now guys.

We have character, we have the determination, we have the teamwork, we have the spirit and most importantly, we have the will to perform at the highest level where we can hold our heads up high, TOGETHER.

Guys, I jst cant say anymore about how proud I am of you lads in this IVP so far, even in training though we have fun n joke around but I can tell we put in 101% when it comes to doing it well.

Yes it's definitely gonna be tough that d game will be the following monday after CNY but the ball is round guys, I can even imagine us winning ITE and topping the table.

Never give up, dream.

El Classico!

Game 3: NUS vs SIM
Post Game Report

I've always maintained d fact tt NUS is a side worthy of d highest respect n packs a bag of surprises. They really lived up t my expectations and great fighting spirit saw them picked themselves up from an early Patrick(who else?) goal to lead 3-1 by the 35th min mark.

To b honest the goals were really soft, 1st goal conceded being a sway xin(unlucky god) goal, 2nd being Anand's belated Thaipusam goal which saw him wringling past all of defenders before slotting d ball into d net n save d best for d last where we saw weeyang finally unleashing his silent hatred for the NUS 1st goalscorer by slamming his ferocious drop kick into his back n unfortunately it bounced back for a silent goal.

What happened next is more exciting, epic and exhilarating than Liverpool's greatest fightback to win their Champions League trophy. From a 3-1 deficit, a possessed SIM side whose hunger would have made cows an extinct species started d rout w 2 goals in 8 mins from d 2nd half kick off. 2nd goal for Paran(its still Patrick anyways) and a sweet lovely left leg volley by Marcus made d score balanced up once more.

Now its all a one channeled effect in d game. NUS literally switched off and SIM unleashed their 105mm artillery, all out blazing against their hapless opponents. Waves aft waves of attacks saw unproven results in some wasteful finishing by Darren n Aloy but its up to our, one and only, red beret commando officer, to douse d fire and put d icing on d cake. A fantastic clearance by the NUS keeper fell to Xabi, oops i mean Jason Ang 40metres away and there, he unleashed a fabulous lob equal if not better than tt half line goal tt Beckham scored tt catapulted him to stardom. 4-3. Lovely.

Tremendous determination, hunger, spirit, character and the list would just go on and on guys. I can only think the only barriers to stop us from going all the way are internal fear and complacency. We have come this far, live the dream guys. Remember its just not for us now, its for our school, for our hard work, our commitment, our team spirit, the university soccer and to show the soccer community in Singapore that, soccer prowess is not longer mat-infested and it can also belong to those with brains.

Keep it up lads and if this year is 2010, I would say, no ITE pls but now, BRING ON ITE.

Love you guys,
Darren

IVP Match 3: SIM - NUS

Hi guys,

Hope this week has been good for you so far. Anyway, tomorrow is our crunch match against NUS. Why do I say its our crunch match? There can be many reasons for this but I would only list out the important ones.
1. NUS has beaten us once in this 2010/2011 season in the SUnig games. Lets not let them achieve a double over us guys.
2. We are currently 2nd in our group and losing out on pole position only on goal difference.
3. As much as it seems, RP and us are in a lock-headed situation. As much as we think we need to keep pace with them, they also have to keep pace with us. Lets get the 7 pts tmr and let RP do the catching up.
4. If we win tmr which i think we are capable of, it will put us in the driving seat. Why? Cos RP would have 4 pts and ITE, only playing their first game tmr, will have to play catch ups to SIM and RP.
5. This is the year we have garner, gathered and grown as a team in a whole. We may not have the best players and only have has-beens, but our team spirit is second to none.
6. Many of our players felt aggrieved at the fact that they have been snubbed for the AUG team, let this game be the testament and show the coach that it is his mistake for not taking you on board!

Well enough said guys, to get the win tmr or not, its all within ourselves. I havent been playing to my best level yet but i promise myself and you guys that i will hit the summit tmr. i hope you guys can have the same determination as me and gun down these 3 pts and let no regrets take over our impressive tournament so far. Semi's seems real now but to me, the championship is the GOAL.

Howay the lads!

P.S watch this guys
