oh simple thing where have you gone?

had another match for the church team today..it was a must-win match so that we would ensure ourselves a quater-final place in the tournament..a draw would suffice but that would mean we would have to face the top team in the other group..

but when your team only brought eleven players (the rest being out for all sorts of reasons), the signs were there that it isn't going to be quite your day..from the kick-off, the opponent took control of the game (mind you, they were not that good! not at all..) according to plan, the opponent scored first..we struggled throughout but thankfully we equalised before halftime..second half and we should have won the match, no thanks to me missing two chances - one crossing the line but the referee was too far to judge it, the second just wide of the post with just the keeper to beat..hai..it's times like these that really get to me..depressing..so the game ended 1-1..we can still get a better position if we win our next match but our next opponents are reknown to be one of the toughest in this tournament..and judging from today's performance, it'll take a very long shot for us to get a win out of that one..

as for me..i seriously need to get my confidence and my touch back..both have neglected me since goodness knows when..somehow when i see the ball coming, i always have a phobia which i cannot quite put a finger on..hai..when you're down you're down..and tomorrow and the coming days sure aren't going to make things better..not as i foresee..
