fantastic four

Hearts and a nose where broken on 1st September, MWS tournament 2007, as SSC came in 4th placing.

Fantastic weather provided by the Man Himself, God. Thank you God for that.
A nice cool sunny morning kicked us off.
Cut the story short, SSC came in top of the table with 12 points. Shaun Teo breaking his nose in the third game. A huge tall french men attempted a scissor kick while brave Shaun Teo headed the ball away only to find his nose in contact with the french men's boot, and POOOOM went his nose.
Brave soldiers we have here.

Group Stages - 1st
Q-Finals - won
S-Finals - lost
3rd/4th - lost

There it is, SSC lost a hard fought battle in a penalty shootout. Penalty shootout soon became sudden death penalty shootout, and "shawn da bomb" got diffused.
I apologise for letting you guys down.

This team has fantastic players, all playing with character and heart.

Jeremy Chua, fantastic keeping and goal kicks.

Defence. Jeremy Kwok, Shaun Teo, Pravin, Andriy, Xiang-eh. Solid like a rock, steady like a HDB building, the Great Wall of SSC.

Mid fielders. Derek, Uncle Eddie, Sean Tan, Elfie, Ming, Justin. Excellent work rate, Artist creativity. Fantástico.

Strikers. Jia Hao and Tany. Constant pressure to our opponents defenders, and finding the net in some situations. Magnifique.

Goal Scorers

Overall, i feel that this tournament was special. We played good football and leading to this tournament, we had bonded and matured a lot as a team. Really proud of you guys, and many thanks for your commitment and your love for the team. Played like champions, and we are champions in our hearts.
I would also like to thank all the people who have been supporting us, be it in Singapore or Elsewhere. Also, thank you auntie Connie for helping us out and for accompanying Shaun to the hospital.

Due to lack of technical support, very few photos were taken. And we forgot to take a team photo. I will post up the few pictures that Fiona ("the photographer") took. Sorry guys.

Hope everyone had fun, on and off the field.
Take care and may God bless your weeks ahead.
