Friendly Football Match 27/03/2015

Last friday (27/03/2015), TLO Engineering Football team had a friendly match at NPNG sports center in Damansara Damai/Permai. It was a blue-coloured artificial football pitch. We took some time to get used to the condition of the field and the way the ball reacted to every bounce.

It was a fun match. Although we lost 5-0, we finally got into the groove  mid-way through the second half. I didn't start the match but was called into action minutes after game started after a colleague got injured. I played up top and managed to nutmeg a defender.. hahah!

Throughout the match, we changed position and i ended up playing as a second striker and also an attacking midfielder. Hopefully I can nail down a specific position in the future. Can't wait for the next match :)


Great bunch of guys
 Leading up to the match, I had some troubles with my boots. I got few blisters on my foot after the last match. To avoid this from happening again, I tried a few tricks suggested by wifey, which is to wear the thick socks and blow-drying the boot while wearing it. It worked but not to the level I wanted. So I called my close friend and asked him to get the cheapest football socks he can find so i can cut it.

This method is widely used by professional players, whereby you wear 2 socks that is taped together. Simple. Just wear any socks you feel comfortable wearing with your football boots, and then just slip the football socks which has been cut over it and just tape the part where the 2 socks overlapped. Jackpot! It was very comfortable and I ended the match with no injuries whatsoever. (The vaseline also helped!) Feel free to try this method. Just don't waste your money on expensive socks if you plan to cut it :P


Tadaaa!! I love my white boots :)
