More than a Game

A drop of the shoulder, a drag of the ball to the left; opponent left for dead. The ball knocked off an improvised goal post of luminous orange cone, before it spun off in ecstasy for mrdes.

So the goal scorer suffered body aches and cramps for the rest of the day, even spent the afternoon in bed, only to wake up in the evening with a heavy head. A young man he no longer is, but he can still pull off nutmegs, body feints and dribbles past younger lads. How mrdes loves hard-court soccer! But he is terribly unfit. He was huffing and puffing throughout. Make no mistake, he needs more regular exercise. Swimming is just not strenuous enough; more runs to be scheduled.

Hopefully, there will be more games ahead. But such chances could have been much reduced when mrdes nutmegged KL.
