had 2 league matches this month.. before the whole tournament began, we were eagerly anticipating the prospect of meeting our opponents. As this was our first time participating in this tournament, we had no idea of what to expect - who and how our opponents are going to be like. nonetheless, we trained hard to give our best for the tournament. the first game gave us an idea of what the games are going to be like. it exposed some weaknesses in our side but yet showcased our teamwork, endurance and fighting spirt at the same time. while we took the lead early on, we gave away 2 goals to be down 2 - 1 at half time. 10 mins or so after the 2nd half kicked - off, we gave away yet another goal to be 3 -1. though there was this tinge of feeling hopeless, we never gave up. we pulled one goal back and our opponents began to crack up. two of them got embroiled in an argument and had to be separated by the referee. one of them was their defense marshall, and got subbed out by their manager. we began attacking more and found the equaliser; albeit thru a goaline scramble. it all counts - doesnt matter. we were so close to finding a winner at the end but settled for a 3 - 3 draw. we ended the game cheering, congratulating ourselves. the other team was low in morale, seeing their 2 goal lead go away just like that. fair result i would say.

the next game was against a far more experienced korean team. they were organised and had players of all age groups. they had both experience at the back and pace at the front and never looked uncomfortable playing their football. they took an early lead and we managed to find the equaliser just before half time and it ended 1-1 all square at the half. from then it could swing to either side and we looked for the goal to put as ahead. we did! but after that the Koreans upped their game, showed great character and never looked back. we were chasing for the rest of the game and we never really settled down. i think we were lucky to concede only two goals after that considering the number of chances they had. but again, a huge scoreline wouldnt be fair to us, given our commitment during the game. I guess it was just down to experience and composure that we lack as compared to them. so we lost 3 - 2 and it was terrible. but we must learn to pick ourselves up. there are so many games to go. the next match would be on 10 june but im away on holiday.

Pour Down Your Love On Me

I come before you
Returning to Your love
All that I am
I surrender Lord to You

Here in Your presence
Forgiveness abound
Hold me in your embrace
Anchor me in your love

Let Your love enfold me
Flood this soul, rain down on me

Lord rain
Pour down Your love on me
Restore me that all may see
Of Your great love
Lord rain
Pour down Your love on me
Transform me so I can be
Loving others as You love me
Lord rain

Lord rain

Pour down Your love on me
