Football was slightly disappointing on a personal note.

I mean, overall, I'm fine with not winning the match because it's simply a friendly. One for both sides and the onlookers to enjoy. But on a personal note for someone who used to play soccer almost everyday in VS, it was a really bad match.

Surprisingly, I feel my best performance today was defending in the left back position. Note the word defending. I barely made any overlapping runs to cover my midfielder. Such is the state of my fitness. Yes, I do flaunt my IPPT-less statement, but deep down it kinda disgusts me a bit. Just that my laziness gets the better of me.

But back to my game, a few tackles here and there, a few hopeful runs forward. That pretty much summed up my game from that position. I was lost in the DM position because I've never played as one before. Think I was as useful as Lucas is to Liverpool, and I can't think of any other way in which I can insult myself more. Finally covering as as a central defender was uneventful, not much attacks from the center by then.

I'm unfit, totally out of touch (or kick rather) and the right shin is going ouch. Urgh, a far cry from those days where I used to play soccer from 3pm to 7pm with barely any rest, and quality soccer as well.
