Pre-Match analysis

The weekend is in 2 days and our inaugural match in ESPZEN is in sight. Our first match will be against HELO Football Club who won their first game 5-2. Thus, they will be in high spirits come this Sunday. However, do not place your bets yet as ESFC has been on a roll with 5 wins and a draw in their last six games. The game will be a tight encounter.

Looking at the opponents, they are all from the high-flyers club, as most of them have spent or are spending their time high up among the clouds as pilots, stewards to name a few. After a good start to the tournament, HELO FC will want to continue their winning streak against ESFC. The ESFC players will have to take note that these high-flyers may takeoff easily when challenged.

In order to start on the right note, ESFC are going to field the strongest side ever, lest Eugene Ong who is still dogged with injuries and Jason Ang who has flown off to Taiwan to find his long-lost lover from his previous Taiwan trips. We also welcome back Nathan Ang from his fight to be in the Dean's List and also Tan Yen Hao from his diving trip in Taiwan. Much to the delight of Muhd Adib, he has been restored to centre midfield in the absence of Jason Ang. He hopes to bring a Scholesy-like aura into the team this Sunday after watching Man Utd down Messi(ah)-inspired Barca 1-0. With Nathan back between the post, let's hope the lob shots which Ngak saved last week will be saved by Nathan this coming Sunday. Joining Zhong at the back after more than 3 years will be Nizar. The successful pairing of these two no-nonsense defenders with speed as fast as lightning will surely be pivotal, just like the brown-ferdinand pairing yesterday. Completing the back 4 will be Sinting and WeiLin. The wings will be terrorised by Captain Tan Boon Han and his sidekick Ri Peng while the midfield will be anchored by the Josh "the Bull" Kho. Completing the line up is the SGS pairing of Figo and Jason Chew upfront. Speaking on behalf of the team, cameraman Then Kim Yuan has told reporters that he expects everyone to play their role in this upcoming big match. Quoted from Mr Then, "No matter where you play, play for the team. Even though there's 'ME' in 'tEaM', 'Me' is nothing if u look at how Barca expected MEssi to finish off the game for them". To sum it up, there will be 4 substitutes this Sunday who are all ready to fill in the ranks if there's any injury.

Kungfu Football

A handful of United players squared off with some Chelsea groundskeepers during their warm down. It is has been reported that things popped off when the players refused to leave the pitch after being ask to do so. Something was said, and the situation proceeded to get all WWE. Patrice Evra, in particular, seemed to relish his chance at world wrestling championship title glory against the bigger and stronger Chelsea groundsman. In fact, there have been other speculations that Evra has already mastered the art of "Yi Yang Tongue" similar to the Chinese martial art "Yi Yang Finger"(一阳指), a martial art which has its own unique way of striking acupuncture points. The highest level of the Yi Yang Finger could emit lethal Qi from one's fingers and in Evra's case, the Qi will emit from the tongue, causing one to be motionless.



Eugene Ong, our very own Patrice Evra, has already announced to his teammates and the media that he has been practicing the martial art and is already at the 7th level of the martial art skill. He also proudly states that he requires just 1 more level to reach invincibility and that he is not afraid to unleash the "Yi Yang Tongue" at his enemies. On hearing the news, captain Tan Boon Han is delighted that Eugene has taken extra time to practice alternate skills even during his daily rehabilitation from persistent ankle and shoulder injuries. Speaking to SoccerNEI.com, the captain also praises Eugene for being a good role model to his other teammates and hopes that they will follow Eugene's shoes and start to add creative skills to counter the rapidly evolving style of football. Football fans of ESFC can only look forward to the promising future with the prospect of the players using famous martial arts like Eric Cantona's Shadowless Kick, Zizou's Iron Head Technique and Alex Hleb's Thousand Hands Slap.



What a revolutionary way to add excitement to the game!

Take it to the next level!

We managed to get our good friend Eric Cantona here down to the Kappa warehouse for a professional jersey photoshoot for your viewing pleasure. As you can see, we're gonna win looking good.

On the right is our upcoming home kit: red top, white shorts and black socks (a la the champions Man United); and on the left is our away kit: blue top with the same white sorts and black socks. Note that there will be numbers hot-pressed on both shirts and shorts, and embroidered logos just beneath the shirt's "Kappa" as well. The jerseys should be ready for collection by next Friday.

Double Trouble?

First and foremost, ESFC welcomes Jason Chew to the team with wide open arms and the signing of such a good quality player signals the intention of the club to do well in the up and coming Espzen league. With 4 strikers vying for the starting place in the first eleven, it is still unclear which one can make the position his own. Striker Md Nizar has already informed the media that he is not going to give up his place without a fight and vowed to impress the team with his performances. The other strikers, Yenhao who has still yet to return from his overseas trial with the Taiwan KMT team and Jeremy Low who is still short of match-fitness after 2 years of persistent knee injuries, will be absent for the next few matches. So... its up to Jason Chew and Md Nizar to show that one of them is worthy of a place in the starting eleven in the preferred 4-5-1 formation.


Defensive midfielder Jason Angelo has announced that he will be abandoning ESFC for a couple of weeks for his overseas trip to film some Taiwan girls for his personal collection. He also shocks his teammates and the public with his proclamation that the he is in fact the lead actor in a widely publicized Edison Chen sex scandal whereby sexually explicit and nude photographs of himself and several high-profile female celebrities from the Hong Kong entertainment industry became widely circulated on the Internet. How he did it still puzzles everyone but there are rumors that the proclamation is fake and just a publicity stunt as members of ESFC have stood out and said that his kukujiao isn't as huge in real life as the one depicted on the photographs.

With Jason Angelo out for the next 2 games, can Guan Long from Ah Long Pte Ltd step up and prove that he warrants a place in the starting eleven? Watch this space to find out!
