It was d best game to date for the Lionesses. The game was controlled evenly by both team. The Lionesses were fired up in d first half pushing up for goals but failed to convert all chances. One of their best chances was when No.8 wasn't marked in the opponent's D, but d attacking midfielder didn't spot her and failed to pass.The opponent's counter attack causes havoc on d other end but they too failed to score. In d second half, it was the opponent's turn to attack but d Lionesses defenders managed to keep them away from d backboard. Exhaustion has taken its toll and some of the key midfielders were subtituted to let them rest before going back in d game. It was towards the last 15 minutes of d final half where the Lionesses were back on their attacking rythm. It was starting to rain but it didn't dampened their spirit wit d defenders also pushing for attack. No.8 again got the best chance of d night when she was one on one against the keeper but failed to convert as the keeper managed to save her low 'which was intended for a high' flick. The Lionesses were pushing up for goals and No.21 also have some good opportunity to upset d opponent. At the end of d day, both defenders foiled all attacks to tie d game. Its a goalless affair but d most exciting nonetheless. Probably, the only dissapoinment is not winning d game. And yours truly is truly sorry for her missed chances. With one game to go against d same team, Las Leonas is at 3rd place sharing points wit Belia at 2nd but losses placing only by goal difference. The Lionesses need to win their last game against Belia to steal the silver medal. So watch this space.
The umpires are big time suckers. They are obviously bias and most of their decision was pro-opponent where it should be the other way around. Then again, this is not new to us. I did shout at one umpire for not blowing d wisel against the opponent for high ball. Instead he awarded them a free hit. How fucked up is that. He ignored my assault at him or otherwise I could have been green carded. Speaking of which, both Lioness No.22 and No.5 were booked for being rough and back sticking respectively. Haha seriously No.5 back sticking?! That was funny as it was obviously intentional and she was smiling as if glad to do that. The captain picked up a muscle cramp with 3 minutes left on d clock. No.21 also had a mild cramp but managed to stay on d game til d end which hindered her game a bit. But its d will, determination and peserverance that counts. I'm so proud of the Lionesses tonight.
My player of the match is Lioness Izan because she did everything right. She was just excellent stealing balls away from the strikers and keeping them off the D.
I'm so tired and my body aches a bit. A full body massage now will be heaven. Excuse me, I'm gonna sleep now.
I need to know your name..........
