Soccer Tournament
We had a nice soccer match last weekend. Speaking about soccer, really had not played this game for a long time. People have practice sessions; decide team approach before a game. We dint have time to do all this, I even borrowed the studs from China.
Teams were simple to make with all white shirt guys on one side and colored shirt people on other side. I was on the colored shirt team. The event began and we scored the first goal. The white’s goal keeper (Sid) was huge as compared to the goal leaving only a small amount of clearance to score a goal. So after two one touch attempts by me I finally scored the goal on the third kick. The other team came back with a goal from Bugger to equal the scores in the first half.
In the second half we scored one more goal to take lead. I really don’t know why one of our players when defending inside the D ludicrously touched the ball. I was standing near the center and I could not believe it. The obvious question that struck my head was why on earth some one would do this. To add to my chagrin these guys converted the penalty. So now the scores were equal.
Now we had few minutes left and both teams were eager to score a point. So this was a good time for skirmish. Things started with bugger getting involved with a hand controversy and then again bugger yelling on me for stamping his feet deliberately. It was hilarious. It was the extra adrenaline which lead but the things on field are to be forgotten on the field. So finally time was up and the organizer decided to go for penalty shoot outs instead of extra time.
Atmosphere was tense. The whites started the shout outs but we took a lead by 1 point. I was going to go for a last shoot but Yousuf wanted me to kick third. I was happy he believed in me. This was one of the most exciting moments for me. I tricked the goal keeper. He fell on his right a bit early anticipating my kick and so I comfortably put the ball to his left. Then white’s shooter missed his last kick and we won the finals. It was a nice game and I enjoyed it a lot.
Hurray we are the WINNERS!!! Anyway winning or loosing is a part of the game, playing the game is even more important.

Thank you for using the generic word "goal-keeper" in the latter half of the blog. Surely, he must feel really stupid to have missed saving those goals, especially since he was so huge. Finally, congratulations on your game-winning goals and i will personally treat you to green colored nuts for them.
