The better team failed to qualify

Unlucky. Simply unlucky. I competed with my 3D classmates in a 5-a-side FUTSAL tournament yesterday. Our team totally dominated the 2 games we played. We had like at least 80% of ball possession and chances. We simply just could not put the ball into the net. The first game, it was a 1-1 draw. They had ONLY 1 shot on goal and the scored. I suppose it was partially my fault. Swee Yeow got the ball and the threw it to Alvin Tok, so I decided to run up (I was the defender). Next thing I know, Alvin kicked a grounder which was intercepted by their striker. With only 1 minute to go we conceeded a goal. Kit should have buried the game much earlier. We just didn't take our chances. Oh well, it was fun though. I thought Swee Yeow (goalie), Alvin (left), Soon Ann (right), Kit (centre) and me at the back had an excellent team. We worked our a$$ off harassing the opponents and never game them time.
The second game was pretty much the same. We had majority of possession but simply couldn't find the back of the net. In the end, we were eliminated. Like Portugal, we didn't have a quality striker to finish it off. To be honest, NONE of us could play strikers including me. Strikers need to have that killer instinct. Kit is more of a winger but he did extremely well with quick footwork. 2 draws and we were out. Hopefully we'll do better for ICG games. Not sure if I'm playing though. Depends on when and what time.
Oh ya, Wawan was here for a few days. met up with him on....Thursday. He's here with his parents and wife-to-be. Didn't do much....just accompanied them shopping. Actually they went shopping and we (Wawan and myself) had a catch-up session outside Ngee Ann City. We went to Far East Plaza for dinner...my recommendation of course. I'm glad they liked the Tom Yum.
Anyway, I'll be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed in the tournament yesterday. After all we dominated both games and yet did not qualify for the semifnals. Oh well, sometimes the better teams just can't win. He he.
