The tale of 2 soccer matches.Mei Lian(MJC) and Man Lian(Manchester United)
8:42 PM

eloz

you can say yesterday was a day of soccer!
ahah
2 matches within 12 hrs of each other
2 winners
Jalan Besar to Moscow.
Drama galore.

yesterday was MJC VS VJC in the soccer finals held at jalan besar stadium
the whole mjc went down to cheer the boys on
we started out on a good note
a freekick from midfield taken by joseph went straight towards the goal in the first min
it caught the keeper by surprise
but he pushed it against his bar to 'safety'
it resulted in a goal mouth melee
with mjc scrambling the ball into the net
and a vjc player knocking his head against the pole
ouch*

then vjc dominated us
it was a peach of an equaliser from them
right wing cross
left winger chest down ball
half volley
*bam*
its in the net

before tat goal
mjc had 2 lucky moments
one of which was truly oure luck
a cross came into mjc defensive area
mjc defenders fail to clear
vjc striker alex one on one with our keeper
with the whole net to shoot at
and mjc keeeper already tricked by the striker
the vjc striker could only shoot into the keepers leg and deflect off
that, was pure luck

then second half
good footwork from mjc left winger left 3 vjc defenders sprawling on the floor
and a not so good cross came in
went pass the vjc keeper
and a mjc player headed the ball into an empty net

from then on, when it was mjc 2 vjc 1
vjc dominated possession
they brought on striker after striker
leaving one defender at the back at times
still
mjc held on
for a win
but it was just the start of 2 soccer matches to be held yesterday
there was still manchester united vs chelsea at Moscow to catch
and i was nvr gna miss it even if it meant no sleep for meee

after the mjc match
met up with daniel, grace and sara for dinner
seriously grace has a porous brain
from jalan besar stadium she dunno how to get to lavender mrt!!!
><
but oh well
she's in luck
me and daniel noe how to get there
-.-
okay
so after much procrastination
we decided to go to bugis for dinner
bugis changed alot
and food junction was no longer at B1
but being me
hahahaha
i knew whr the food court was!
cuz my aunt bought me there b4?
so yup
haha
we were quite early
and so we all had jap cuisine
wah
its real ex lor
mine cost $8
=/
had unagi bento
but the unagi is seriously huge
hahaha
and it had a nice salad too
not just cabage
came ith alot of other vegetables
so it was special
but i still prefer kuriya restaurant de jap cuisine
hahah

then so happened my class gals and jeremiah were there too
sitting behind us
and we saw some of grace classmates too
and sze how

then we all went back
take mrt
me n daniel alighted at tampines to go daniel hse
then i did some chem there and we took his lappy and went to bao hui hse
go bao hui hse..
take playstation controller
then go jimson house get ready to play the whole nite to the championsleague finals match
it was real fun

at abt 2 wek ordered macdonalds delivery
had a mcspicy
we were all impatient for the match to start
and oso hungry
soon..
it started

Manchester United: VDS,Ferdinand,Vidic,Brown,Evra,Scholes,Carrick,Hargreaves,Ronaldo,Rooney,Tevez.
It was a 4-4-2 formation
and we had our reservations over how ronaldo and hargreaves were going to change flanks
but boy
hargreaves proved us wrong
and excelled as a winger
one of the surprise tatical nous by ferguson (:
Chelsea:
Cech,Terry,Carvalho,Essien,A Cole,Makelele,Lampard,Ballack,Malouda,Cole,Drogba
It was a attacking 4-5-1 formation..and looked certain to threaten man u defence as always

surprisingly
the first half was man u all the way
65% possesion after 25 mins
man u were rocking
ronaldo had put man u into the lead
with a great header from a great cross by brown on his weaker foot
essien, seing that ronaldo was certainly putting the ball in the net,din even challenge roanldo but just shaked his head and squat down
essien, is certainly failable
then
it started raining
the pitch was very slippery
and essien had a shot from outside the box
it had 2 deflection
caused van der sar to slip
and lampard slotted it in
silence stung the house
chelsea had equalized
we were all left rueing what might have been 3-1 to man utd by the break
a point blank save from tevez header, a point blank save from carrick follow up, and a scare for chelsea as tevez slid narrowly wide of tapping in rooney's cross
half time: Man Utd 1 Chelsea 1

second half started
and chelsea were revitalised
man u defended stoutly
waiting for counter attacks
but chelsea defence held on
with terry clearing off the line from giggs shot, a second half sub

it was soon extra time
and i din really want to watch it
truth was
chelsea kept shooting
and kept hitting the post
truth was, i was right.it's written in the stars for man u to win it this year
chelsea
for all their efforts
lacked something
luck.
