MIC Tamil New Year Cup. A happy ending?

On Sunday, 28th February 2010, the bulk of AKULA FC plus some others formed a formidable team named, FC Colo-colo. We were grouped with Manja FC and SSC from Moscow Medical Academy, and KPMM (Bukit Tinggi in disguise).

Our first game kinda sucked because most of us arrived just around 15minutes before the game, plus Zul didnt come even though I went to his room to wake him up. Well, to each, his own. The game was scrappy, but we managed to lose only by 2-0, which was quite a result because actually Manja FC is the Zibom team in disguise, regular top 3 contenders in the M1 league.

In the second match, we had reinforcement in the form of AKULA hardcore, Azzam. The game against fellow uni mates KPMM was a fiery one. Tackles went flying , bodies sacrificed, but in the end we managed to get a very satisfying 3-0 win. Shazli drew first blood, then another goal from the lanky Khir. Sufrin went flying under the challenge of KPMM's Mate and we were awarded a penalty kick. Sufrin made no mistake from the spot to send KPMM's Shahril to the wrong way, thus opening his account and scoring his very first goal in his M2 competitions. Plus he kissed the Man U badge on his jersey too (part of his bet to Naqqib and Azzam) =p .

We expected the third game in the big zal, but suddenly we were called to play in the small zal instead. Bemused, we quickly changed into our away sky-blue or royal-blue shirts and played SSC. SSC played very physically, Mizan went flying and rolling around like a matryoshka doll, Azzam went down several times under strong challenges, basically we were all kicked around like some kind of meat. In the end, we lost 5-0... thus ending our challenge in the cup there and then, with no hope of qualifying.

In a personal sense, I am very satisfied with the effort of our team, FC Colo-colo . We showed resilience, strength, character and never say die attitude (which sadly, was missing in our AKULA team.. :( huhu..)
Good job guys!!! And hopefuly, we will play together as a team again next time! Cheers!
