After a Hectic few weeks... Finally i found some time to do some match reporting and updates.
Videos and Photos will be up soon but its too lag and therefore...
Then again...
Some weeks ago our team met with a downturn in luck and much of our matches didn't turn out to be satisfactory performance.
Some say its the jersey while some say its the morale and some say its this and that... But nonetheless what said is not an importance... the important thing is the team being able to pick ourselves up from the debris that we left off with and stage a spectacular performance in the subsequent match...
The turning point of the team comes when we met with Xianxi's friends team... Charlie's team and that was a point where trouble came in with much of our players down with injury...
Fronting the match with only 10 players on both team... it was actually us who are able to find the momentum faster than the opposition...but we are only able to shift our gears up to gear 2.... whereas opponents are already playing the footsie at a higher tempo....And soon both are giving the opposition teams a run for their money....
Ah fat and Zhen Quan mustered the defence while Rixian , Chai and aman rotated the role of Anchoring the midfield....Taran as usual dominated his spot on the right... but it was the opponent who took the lead....
However, A goal worthy of a goal of the season unleash from Chai put us level with the opponent.... A glorius strike from the heart of midfield that tuck superbly into the tight corner of the post...
IT was in the second half that with fatigue and heavy legs settling in... we start to lose our concentration.. A thunderous shot from outside penalty box and a well placed shot put the opponents 3-1 against us... A dip in form as we perceive this game to be... but with some reflection and thinkings... we decided that we need to improve...
The following week... upon reaching the pitch... we were greeted by a friendly sight of our ex team members in which a few of our players had a free transfer over...
An experienced veteran but yet very little stamina but are actually a bunch of hard hitting guys... However, it was the whinners who rain countless attacks on them and they were clueless for a while what hit them... But were kept at bay with the antics of their keeper....
A free kick from outside the penalty box slipped through the defence and beyond the reach of asen put the veteran guys at a 1-0 lead...
However it was cheeky shot from Lewis who did a backheel into the net who equalled the score... The play was tough and the going gets high but the defence held the forte with ah fat and Zhen Quan .... While the midfield partnership of Chai, Ke jang, Lewis , Rixian ,Ke jang, Taran and Twelve...Zonghui was a constant threat and would have gotten a few goals if not for his injury...
Middle of nowhere of the second half... Taran was released to go 1 on 1 with the keeper... However, for some peculiar reasons... the shot didn't got in and was squared to xianxi.... And Xianxi gladly returned the favour to put us 2-1 up....
Match 25 was a testament of a rejuvenated Whining Eleven when a healthy group of folks turn up very early for a pre-match warm up... It was a positive sign to see the guys so eagerly reaching the pitch for some pre-match warmup...
Our opponents turn out to be some pretty strong group of malays....
It only took 5 mins for Zonghui to latch onto a long ball and snitch the first goal with a typical and elegantly taken finish. However some defence lapse allowed the opponent to equalise and not long after that they took a long distance shot which took a horrid dip and brought the score to 2-1.... Down 2-1...We push ourselves to get the equaliser and it was once again zonghui whu terrorised the defence with the help of the midfield contigent of jumain, lewis , twelve , rixian and kejang to slip a nicley placed ball to xianxi for him to poach on the on rushing ball and we are equalled.
Went into 2nd half... with a strong heart and strong desire to come out the winners...However it was difficult for us to get back the ball for awhile as we struggled with some simple clearnace of the ball within the defence line... Our lapse of concentration resulted in a shot from the opponents to glide through the defence and into the net... we were 3-2 down with some 10-15 mins left...
Jumain...got the ball... At his normal self calm composed....effortlessly send the ball rolling into zonghui's path and zonghui took no second calling to put the ball high up into the net and put us level with the opponents....
A few decent attempt from Ke jang whu struck the post and zong hui who send the ball too high up...But took his last chance at goal that started from a counter attack and he calmly finished the opponent with a well taken shot...4-3...
It didn't take the referee long to call a halt to this breath taking game....As the pleasing sound of the final whistle rung in our ears...
A match we will not forget and a match that tells the world to start worrying... The whining eleven are back...

Match 21 and 22 Review
I think there was a jam-stop in the middle of the season.
Manager/Co-ordinator was away for a week so there was no updating in the report and the scorers.
However, following the humbling silencing by the Enthusiastic Young Lions, we decided there are lots of improvement to be made ofr our team, but that aside we have come quite a fair bit and shown that we may not be the best team but we are a young team with aspiration to go into something better.
Our opponent for Match 21 were a groupies of Melayus who are funky and funny wannabes who don't look very interested. True, it only takes us a short while to go up against them. Seriously.... i have forgotten who scored the goals but somehow i remembered that zonghui should have scored at least 1 goal and chai another goal... so lets just give it to the 2 of them having scored 1 goal each... if u remember who score let me know....
Our next match was the match with the familiar black and white team with the inspirational captain number 17... They manage to take the lead with a soft goal that slipped through us despite the good defending of Jin and Zhen Quan but we are unable to allow the goal to slip through.... We played pretty well with getting more passess and getting smoother with our attacking options.... Until we had a wayward ball that landed on Rixian's feet in which he did a Xabi Alonso to wham the ball in, the ball landed up on Taran's feet to put us 1-1...
A few desperate attempts for them to keep us at our bay as we aim to seek for our 2nd goal.... However the match ended off in 1-1 our first draw in Fu hua secondary school.
Don't be disheartened dudes, we can improve.... we are not missing our key players... in our team we don't have any key players every player is important and everyone plays a significant role in the team...
Next week guys at Fu hua secondary... we will try again to improve the fluency of our game and improve ourselves..

Match 19 and Match 20: Blues in the Eleven
Following the receiving of our Jerseys and taking on stronger opponents these days, we suffered 2 blowing mishaps in the next two games.
Our 19 match saw us strutting our stuff with my ex-colleague Allister who came with a team of youthful people who is super enthu and seemingly endless amount of energy. However, it was a good Free Kick From Rixian who send it over to Taran who connected with it and coverted it with perfect execution.
Chai went on to put us 2-0 up. However, there were some confusion at the back allowing the opponents to put 2 past us to be at 2-2. However, a Zong Hui Converted penalty and A exquisite strike from Zhen Qing send us 4-2 up and Zong Hui Added one in the end but was met by the equally competitive group of youngsters who did not stop attempting to attack and manage to pull themselves to a 1 goal deficit before they capitalise on our mistake to put themselves level.
Match 20 was a complete display of overrun from a very strong group of players who are rumoured to be playing professional soccer. They took the lead easily within the first 10 mins and extended their lead with a powerful header. But chai brought us back with a wonderstrike from the left and one leading on to a rixian free kick taran latch combo to equalise 2-2.
However, the opponents decided to put their strongest players and they started scoring freely with powerful headers and rocket shots before long we found ousrselves having to chase a 5 goal deficit. Down 7-2, the players are also all jaded due to the intense physical demand to play in such situations and extreme heat and all of us crumbling to the fatigue. Before the game ended, we stamped our mental resilience by reducing with a beauty strike from jumain. However, all was lost cause as we found ourselves overwhelmed by their simple and effective total football.
Its okay to face such strong opponents and get wallop. It tells where we stand and shows us how actually we show ply our trade. Please do not feel demoralise as the only way to improve is to get defeated and in the midst we grow up and learn.
Lets all hope for a good match next week.
Your Co-ordinator.

7-Eleven
Match 18: 31/05/09 @ FuHua Sec
Finally we manage to don our new jersey and with a new jersey we have a new tactic this time round playing a 4-3-3 tactic.
Being Still unfamiliar with the new tactic we struggled to understand how it is being played but with the capabilities of our players they are more than competent to fit into any tactic. However, we allowed them to put 1 into our net. Our defence of Ah Fat, Zhen Quan, Tian Jun, daniel and Jin have proved to stand out in the occassion when needed.
Ta ren rixian and jumain lead the pack in attack and ke jang with zong hui and zhen qing probe their defence with their tireless run. However this game was marred with un-gentlemanly tackles from opposing team that cause a few injuries within our team. However we stood our front and kept our cool to play our own game.
In the second half, zong hui was tripped inside the penalty and he converted cooly from the spot. Chai came on later in the second half and showed what he can do but was unable to put us up with a few attempts on goal but fail to find net...
It wasn't long when Ke Jang found himself dribbling down the flanks and doing some of his trademark flip here flip there and manage to get pass the keeper and lobbed the keeper to put us 2-1 up.
Another sensational come back for the whinners again...
However like a few pointers pointed out by our players..... We need to accustom ourselves with the new tactic and our play recently have turned stagnant.. we need to up our game a bit...
Probably we might want to arrive at the pitch a little bit early for more warm ups and a few rounds of Monkey before we start... at least we can gain more composure on the ball...
See you guys... in a few hours time...:)

simon

Match 17: Match At Tanglin Secondary
Hoola... Our 2nd Defeat since our establishments in 28/12/08.
Anyway when we reach the pitch there was no sight of the opponent but did they give us a difficult time when they were here... Their players all blistering with energy and quite flair but it was not the best of day for the Whining eleven.
Our resistance was short lived when they bursted pass us and placed a short from afar beyond the grasp of our keeper. Before we know it we allowed another of their goals to slip in... Somehow we are conceding some very soft goals.... But nobody is at fault... But we do have very strong team spirit in coming back...
This is another of our colourful display of a spectaular comeback starting from Zonghui Converting from the spot.... And our equalising goal came from a Xianxi who broke his duck finally scoring from point blank range to bring us level... But sadly we allowed a goal from the opponent to creep in and another one again before Taran ended the match with a beautifully executed goal which saw him juggle the ball leftand right and slamming it home.
It may be our 2nd defeat but true that we have shown some cracks at the back but not to worry as an inexperienced team we have done very well to win some matches...however we will need to try to improve ourselves to take on stronger teams but in the meantime lets just enjoy the fruits of our labour so far.... Lets hope for a better performance soon...
Guys have a good rest and lets hope for a better performance soon....

Match 16: Westwood Secondary
Following the Rain that eventually caused the game to be cancel last week... we went into our matches quite excited at the thought of getting our new jerseys but the manager has dissappointed once again because he is not able to yet provide the new jerseys yet...
However, the gaffer will promise the lads the new T's come next week... means Match 17 as we have to do a bit of final decision on our jersey names and some final administrative matters. However i promise you next week you will get to don the jersey.
Finalise on our name as the Whining Eleven on our logo on our chest and then Vonda in front and behind our own name with the number. Too many inputs from everywhere haha...
Anyway match report for Match 16... Another domineering game for us the whiners who started the game with a healthy quality players on the bench... Which is good for a team that wants to go far... we have to give and take... As our team grow, we need more players for a good rotation in our teams so we have to accomodate that... But please dun get the wrong idea that if u are in the bench u are not good... Everyone in the team is equal...
The 1st half was all about our constant threat and attack on them wave after wave....Ke Jang had a glorious opportunity at goal but was denied by the post and shots from chai mysteriously wobbled off the goal post. We could have easily went 5-6 goals up in first half. Everyone was just excellent. Defence was solid and was barely a threat to us and attack was tireless in their attack. Midfield of jumain and lewis has played alongside each other for over 10 matches and has come to know each other's play style inside out. Ta ren posed a constant threat with his dominating figure and accurate crossess into the penalty box....
We proved ourselves as the kings of second half... This time round again with a great cross in from Zong hui on the left was met by jumain to put the ball into the net.... Putting us 1-0 up.... Towards the end... Xian xi brought the ball in and took on a few defenders whom he slotted the ball to twelve and twelve gave a hell of a thunderbolt to the ball that rocketed into the net that was a sheer classical beauty....
What a goal to end the game and the opponents barely threatened the defence to a point they are falling asleep at the back...
Anyway good game guys we should be getting our jerseys real soon be patient in the mean time think of the names you want to put in....We should be consolidating the names and next week i will get it sorted out... Thanks fellas...
have a good rest and look forward to our game at Tanglin Sec this weekend at 9am.. WE WILL STILL BE WEARING RED this week...
