An Invitation!

Recently Team Goat have been invited by D2D to take part in the inaugural Tiger Street Football Street Soccer Competition. This has really been an exciting news to hear as this shows that we are slowly and definitely being recognised Singapore social soccer scene.

The Competition is played in a unique oval (like ice-hockey court, can go behind goalpost), caged pitch, no sidelines and a dynamic, continuous state of play, the game-changing tournament provides a refreshing platform for players to showcase their talent and at the same time, provide nonstop exciting action for spectators in the months of April through to September.

The 182 teams competing in Tiger Street Football will be made up of not just consumer teams of aspiring footballers, but will include some of the world’s best street footballers from top football nations who will pit their skills against the winning consumer teams in matches at the local competitions as well as compete in the Grand Finals. The prestigious line-up includes street football teams from England, Brazil, Spain and Argentina. International football star and Tiger’s Football Champion, Wayne Rooney is all praise for the new format.

We have internally decided to send a team of 'youngster' for the competition in order for them to gain more exposure and also to have more bonding session with one another. We have chose the team in a manner that they have at least played for Team Goat for 2 seasons and is within the age range of 18-23.

The main reason why we (me & yiwen) have decided on this is that we want the 'Younger' generation to move forward together as a team and bring the team up to a higher level. Definitely they will be the one running around the field in the upcoming seasons right don't you agree? And for the younger ones, your chance will come when we got invited again! (kinda think about it we like got 3 Generations in our team)

So yea and the players representing us is:

1. Jackson (Cpt)
2. JinChuen
3. KahWoon
4. Jeffrey
5. Ariel
6. WeeKiong
7. WeiMing

Just note that we still do not have a Goalkeeper yet and if no one in the current 7 is willing to step up than I may need to eliminate one to put a Goalkeeper in. Rotation can be an idea.

The Competition will be held on April 16 and 17 so if you are free go down to support them and watch other teams play! Perhaps we can learn from them as well. The Venue is not out yet.

Kambeng!
