The men of ESFC never got their groove going when they were dealt with a deserved 2-0 loss at the hands of the homeless. Bolstered by a strong rearguard and with the return of goal poacher Nathan, ESFC surely had a strong upper hand/leg; well, at least on paper.
Homeless drew first blood after a swift attack against the run of play, in a half almost dominated by the tripartite midfield nexus comprising of Adiaby, Wakuso and Pengiesta. Chances were at a premium, with Adiaby spurning several shots off target and with Nathan alone upfront and deprived of quality service, except for a skewed shot when he was put through by magnificent wingplay by machoman Sinting. Pressure mounted during the 2nd half for ESFC to get back that crucial equaliser, with perennial emoman Boon leading the charge. On numerous occasions, centrehalf hardgayman Chew was guilty of several openings despite his nifty first touches. But again, cracks begin to unfold in the ESFC defense in chasing that one goal, with the homeless boys putting the nail in the coffin with a headed goal from a corner.
Alas, all's well despite the scoreline, when lungbusting Weilin realised it was actually useful to consider not to rush in from nowhere to head the ball, lest he be reminded of the baluku (??) on his eyebrow courtesy of the ironhead Wakuso, when Kim Hargreaves reminisced the times he played against the red/blue tide of ESFC and shuddering in fear of the chopstick tackle that made him tumble, and especially when ESFC managed to feast their eyes on an exquisite display of women's football, signs of real gender equality...
Hold on to your balls fellas... we are ultimately still a good footballing side. =)
