Gameweek 2 Report : The Controversial Day

MeGi FC 1-0 TRW

Two words, total domination! After their shock win against Baihulk last week, TRW fell short this time against MeGi FC, who had complete control of the game from the kick off. MeGi FC came close to score early in the game, just Baihaqi's effort to be denied by the outside of the post. The goal came in the middle of the first half through Syukri with a glancing header after a great cross by Fadhli. The game should be easily ended up with 3 or 4 goals but thanks to TRW's Gk, Farhan who had been superb with a series of great saves during the game.

Harimau ACE 1-0 Baihulk

This game should be the one that grab the headline of the week. The game ended up 1-0 thanks to Nafis' controversial goal, with supposed to be miles offside but never ruled out by the linesman. Baihulks seems to have more ball possession with both teams shared a fair amount of tackles along the course of the match. Baihulk's golden chance to equalise came in the last minute of the game where a near post corner created a chaos in front of the goal before efficiently handled by Faris to prevent the equaliser.

Tornado FC 1-1 Boys Over Flowers

BOF kick off the game with real spirits from last game's loss to HACE. They started well,gain control of possession and Tornado's players seems cannot coop with them early on. The game also filled with controversy after Nabil's goal has been ruled out for offside BOF attacks presented with a goal by Amirul after an excellent interplay with the midfield players. Tornado came out strong in the 2nd half and Nabil got his goal and this time, it was not offside. After that, Tornado had the control of the game and almost got another goal, but Hassan's shot only rattled the bar after BOF's Gk mistake.

This is how the table looks like after two games. HACE with the 100% record to top the table with 2 points off the 2nd placed team, MeGi FC. At the bottom of the table, Baihulk with 2 loses from 2 games.

They All Count : 101 ways to score a goal (or not)

"Yyyyeah-no, it's always nice to score", players tell us, even if it's the three points that matter. After hundred of years years the game has evolved, take a look on how many different ways have been developed of trying to get on the scoresheet? Well, here's 101 of them...

1. Fired - A powerful shot. Its height or range is not important, but its trajectory ought to be straight. Often a way of breaking the deadlock, as the goalscorer fires his team into the lead.
2. Drilled - Just as forceful, but this time characterised by its relative lack of height - they are daisy-cutters with oomph. Drilled shots often find the corner, but this is not mandatory.
3. Rifled - A more refined variation of drilled, and part of an ongoing firearms theme, with less violent but more authoritative connotations. The verb to rifle is almost entirely exclusive to ball games.
4. Thundered - Suitable for use with shots that either go in or strike against the woodwork.
5. Hammered - So descriptive a term for powerful long-range efforts that it lends itself to players' nicknames, such as German midfielders Jorg "The Hammer" Albertz and Thomas "Der Hammer" Hitzlsperger, neither of whom needed a second invitation to shoot.
6. Powered - A less popular verb, lacking the sheer imagery of the aforementioned blockbusters.
7. Slammed - Often aided aesthetically by the ball being hit into the ground on its way into the net. Suitable for powerful goalscoring from close- to mid-range.
8. Rammed - The slightly vulgar twin brother of slammed.
9. Blasted - Surprisingly uncommon, perhaps with its disregard for technique, but undeniably powerful. Other explosive-themed finishes are the...
10. Exocet or the...
11. Howitzer
12. Driven - Sacrificing some power for unerring direction, drives are distinctly long-range affairs (estimating the approximate yardage is an optional extra.)
13. Arrowed - Long range and top corner only.
14. Thumped - Like hammered, this act of punishment can also be applied to an entire scoreline, should the margin of victory be sufficiently comprehensive
