Wake Up Call


I always wondered how Sporting Lisbon players felt after being defeated and humiliated by Bayern in the Champions league game.And today I got to feel how the players felt, first hand, when my futsal team was utterly torn apart by two of our opponents, 11-0 and 7-1. Yes, that was how much we were beaten in the MASCA games.

To be honest, we were the only team with freshmen and I only met 4 of my teammates TODAY right before the tournament!!! To make matters worse, there was a Msia national player in the 11-0 demolition squad.

I can’t say I was not embarrassed by the score line and how people would look at us after the mauling but I must say, I was actually rather happy after the game. We took the trashing experience at a positive angle and, instead of winding and cursing; we actually made a decision to play futsal and do gym more often to improve our game. Which is good. We finally realised where we are standing in terms of futsal standards and boy, did we learned it the hard way.It was a smack on the face. Hell it’s about time to wake up and start doing some serious training yo.HELL YEA! We’ll definitely be back for next year’s games!
