And they’re off!!

My word, it’s a great game. Straightaway, within a few seconds, Kee passes to Si Yong, splits open the Orange defence and scores!!

Blinding play! So fast! So accurate! One nil to the World, and less than a minute since the game started. The fans are going wild! The World is turning!!!



Orange is still weakened. Hui Fang and Remi are still signing autographs for their adoring fans and haven’t entered the pitch yet. And starplayer Sean is still flying in, after a last minute meeting with his publicity agent. This is surely the World’s chance to avenge their defeat last week.



Wait a minute! Stop the press! Sean has arrived! Now lets see if Orange can come back. No, obviously not. Kee has just scored for The World! A brilliant bit of teamwork between Si Yong and the move-maker, Mr Kee! It’s 2 nil to the World. Are Orange crashing out?



Oh my! I just thought it was safe to go to the toilet. (Boy, it really stinks in there). Anyway, I heard the crowd going bonkers, screaming and cheering, so I rushed back and found out it’s ….. IT’S TWO ALL!!!!! A goal from Sean, and then one from the Golden boy, Theng Huat!!!!! (Oh man, what a phenomenal season for TH. He’s scoring every game these days!). Well I think we can safely Orange are up to full strength again. I think World Team is going down. They’re going down. They’re going down!!!!!!



Oh.



Wrong again. Amazing long shot from Darren. The World win the first half 3:2.



Second half!!!!



Welcome back. The World Team is playing beautifully… Darren, Si yong and kee upfront, and all of them scoring goals in the first half. Lovely passing, lovely coordinated attacks. Lovely long passes to Darren who keeps finding himself in open spaces near the Orange goal. And wonderful defensive play too, Maxim normally rushing back to provide double goalie duties with joffrey(sic). And now Jeff has arrived to further the Dark side. It’s impossible to see Orange coming back now. They just haven’t got it. Ah well…. I’m leaving early…. Off home to see my wife.



In the MRT looking for my EZ link card. What’s this!?? Confusion.

Excitement?

The station master has just rushed off towards the stadium waving an orange flag. A news crew has just raced past aswell. My word!!!! I think that’s the Prime Minister.. They’re all heading back to the stadium. There’s fire works in the night sky!!!! And a news flash on TV Mobile!!! It can’t be…. But it is! Orange have fought back!!!!!!!



I’m rushing back to pitch.. Pandemonium!!

It seems the World continued brilliantly. Darren scored (again), and consistent team play brought the Dark Ones yet another goal. Yet miraculously, Orange have fought back. Kee says the second half was 5:3 to Orange, so they’ve won 7:6 on aggragate!!! Not quite sure who scored, Ben is claiming a couple a goals, (but then he’s such an old show off, it’s hard to know whether to believe him). Kai Loon may have scored! There’s talk of brilliant defensive play by Remi and Hui Fang… As well as a disasterous unicycle breakdown for Darren.. His crank completely sheering off at high speed.. . AND!! AND! It seems Andrew has scored. The youngest player to ever achieve such glory. Comparisons with Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney seem inevitable, but they were an incredible 15 years older when they scored their first goals!!!!



Well, well, well! 7:6 to Orange. A fabulously close game!! (Ed: In fairness, The World lost Darren and Maxim and ended up playing 4-7, so I wouldn't really say it was that close) Who could ask for anything more? Stay tuned!!
