stuff

Formation (1)
Ok guys. I think this is a realistic formation given the players that can usually make it for our matches. I think zarir should be the goalie now and abu could take the right wing. Alternatively, abu can drop behind ahmad and hatta can take the right wing. hahaha. but right now, since hatta wants to be striker, then oh well...
Bad points: the flanks are pretty slow.

Formation (2)
Or this. I get to be striker. The key to this formation is that by putting hatta, adil and raihan in the middle, we will be able to unleash the the most powerful force in the universe. the wings are a bit empty, but we will be attacking down the centre anyway. i will probably be drifting left and the sacred 3 will be able to cover the wings. nasir will play a pivotal role in the defence; he needs to control the other 2 defenders pretty well to pull this off. adil will be supporting the defence. as for scoring ability, raihan and hatta will be attacking from deep. the 3 need to be pretty fit, which they are. the way i see it, we are capitalising on our strengths: the 3. oh and nasir.

i think the problem with our other formations is that ppl are not playing in the positions best suited for them, so i think this should solve most of the problems. the integral part of this formation is the 3. the rest can be swapped around. For example, i can take the left wing, abu moves to striker and fadzli switches to the right wing. or we can all sit on the bench. whatever.

fitness
our fitness sux. my fitness sux. i acknowledge that. yah so that's one thing to note.
as for the last game, besides the fact that our fitness sux, i think we lost because of our first touches in the defence. plus goalie error and so on ah. yup. plus zarir, hatta and i were making short trips to hatta's bag, during the match. yah i think that should be it. yup. oh and sorry for the long and meandering article; i was too lazy to shorten it and make it more coherent.

Next Match

Date:
Time:
Venue:
Colours:

The club was founded by a group of Malay boys from Raffles Institution's 2001 & 2002 graduating batches who enjoys each other's company as well as sharing a strong special bond that is soccer.

After years of playing recreational soccer matches on the school's astro turf & basketball court, it was decided that they establish a full-fledged competitive 11-a-side team worthy of challenging any team that stand in their way. In 2001, a newly-formed unnamed soccer club comprising of those boys emerged and played their first 11-a-side friendly against Beatty Secondary. From then on, there was no turning back.

Countless other friendly matches followed. However, being unnamed seems very amatuer-ish, and to fully leave behind their fledgling status, the name ESMSCC was born. The acronym, that stands for English Speaking Malay Soccer Cultural Club, was originally conceived during one of their casual discussions in their school-based clubhouse. The oxymoronic term of the name seems befitting at that time and was an identity that had reflected the majority of the club members.

In mid 2002, the club officially took on the name and came up with their very first team jerseys comprising of sky blue top and white shorts. The colours chosen reflect the club's aim to play resembling the fluidity of water as well as advocating match-fairness. Despite being separated into different junior colleges, the team still managed to find time to play together even throughout their national service. Close ties between team members are not only on-field, but off-field as well, with casual hang-outs, gym sessions, hari raya gatherings being some examples. Despite being predominantly Malay, the team has always adopted a selection policy that trancends race as well as age. Players of other races as well as those outside their batch are often invited and welcomed by the team. Through such diversification, the team grows even stronger and awaits the various challenges ahead.

With the establishment of Bolasepak RI Football Club in 2006, ESMSCC serves as the biggest and most active feeder service for the squad, providing 11 of the 25 current members in the roster. Despite the integration...
