Adidas+ Challenge

Went to the Adidas+ Challenge to support Kamal & Nawas and their team, Blazing Salvo. The atmosphere was very good. Very very loud music and the crowd just, well, made it happen. I went a tad too early and Blazing Salvo was on only at 4.30+? Anyway caught quite a number of matches, all were quite good.

Think that was the first match I watched, not bad. But I think ended in a goal-less draw.

The teams there were damn creative when it came to group names. Of course rather than Blazing Salvo (meaning Blazing Sun), stuff like Nerdy Noobs, NOOB, Who da man, Skillz that Killz, Milkshake and stuff like that.

The guys in white there, are of course, team ACS Independent. Yes, they registered with their school name. How quaint.

More of ACSI
But forgot the outcome of that round.

Ok, that picture, focus on the middle of it. Ok la my cam sux shitzors, but can you see a group of people in the centre, in tattered rags, & one of 'em is carrying a piece of cardboard with the words 'FREE HUG' on one side and 'BEG FOR A HUG' on the other. I el thinko that they're emulating the 'FREE HUG' guy in Australia (which how I got to know of the Sick Puppies). Paradoxical how one side says FREE HUG and the other side asks you to beg for it :/

Steve-o

An Australian team I think. Socceroos, they call themselves.


Goalies wait for the kill

Ok, rather than guys have all the fun, of course girls want part of the competition too. This is the 2nd all-girl team that I caught so far (first was in the U-19) I think the one below is called Arsenal Bishan Girls B or Bishan Arsenal Girls B... either those two.






They didn't win but they did well. When I was browing through the pictures I realized something. The girls were playing against my friend's team (not Blazing Salvo) No wonder that small kid looked vaguely familiar.

It was a draw at the end. They didn't play that well but A for effort. That was their first round, I missed the second round.

Kamal and his brother

The team and I walked around Ngee Ann for abit. So I left at 6 to meet my mum at Dhoby Ghaut. She went to Carrefour to buy some stuff, I just waded around, my feet damn sore. Then I bought "Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny", before eating dinner and going home.

The movie isn't that great. ALOT of vulgarities. Funny, yes but if I were a world-renowned music critic, I'd give it 3 stars, just because of it's humour, music and my years of idolizing Jack Black. Oh yea, it comes with a free Gibson guitar pick, so that'd be 3.5 stars :/
