bad game
I don't really know what happenend.The whole 30 minutes just suck. The referees..I'm damn angry with them at that point of time..this shouldn't come out from a sportsman mouth...but I really hate the way they umpired the game. And so the logic thing is to play according to his level of strictness. But then I didn't and so.. a lot of mistakes...I should say the whole team had their share of mistakes.
Somehow I felt the negativity was going to set in..even a few days before the game.
I had the feeling that the punishment was coming. Why? Because we talk big. I tried not to. But I did. And so did the rest of the team. And now I feel shame. But what's worse is fear. We have to turn the tables around and slammed westwood hard. We have to have a fantastic scoreline with a goal difference of about at least 7. We must. In order for us to have more chances in getting into the semis. I believed the people ''up there'' are trying to show us some values. Never ever boast and degrade other people. That's something very wrong. It happened evrywhere in the world. And it happened over and over again. People think that they are better than others. They believe that they are the most powerful. Well, the actual notion is that we should always at all times, believe that someone out there is better than us..and..someone out there too is lower than us. In that way, we can improve ourselves. So people become arrogant and they fall. Look at the allies during the period of WWs...the fall of empires was due to that wrong perception that others can never be better than us..we are untouchable, indestructible. And it happened to the hockey team before. We met swiss cottage last year. We didn't get to get the scoreline we wanted. Even though we won, it wasn't a good game. We were taking the opponents too lightly. If we were to be punished, I think we could have lost.
And then it rained...drizzle at first and then heavy rain. Visibilty was pulled down to as low as 10%. I was getting more anxious. the whole team was frustrated because we couldn't play the way we wanted to. The kind of play we had before, in the previous game. It wasn't totally because of the rain. it was us. The only people to be blamed was us. We are now receiving our retribution. Retribution to being arrogant. Talk big. We made it out to be so simple. Go in there, thrash them. However, westwood proved their worth. They were more organized than us, despite low skill level. We were...undescribable. The defence was on the verge of breaking down. The formation was bad. i was touching more balls and that is a bad sign. Sucks...the game just sucks. We have to buck up.
And the rain...on the first instance I take it that its a sign of bad luck. But then it was a Friday. In Islam its considered as a ''rahmat''..a gift God. And so I took up that logic instead of cursing the rain and blaming that for our rotten performance. And wallah. The rain turned out to be a chance for us. A chance for us to repent and reflect on ourselves. Once your mind has that mindset of other people being lower than you, it is automatic that you'll be complacent and rather not fully ready. At least a little. But for us it was a lot. nevertheless we are given another chance. this time no more shit and nonsense. we must be very careful, as if we are facing the powerhouses.
30 more minutes worth of chances. We must put in at least 7. Thursday morning, we shall settle this unfinished business. And we shall settle it well. It's not too late, yet.
