Initial pre-line up:


Game/Strategy:
*New update: Daniel and Hai Yee can play. Rudy can only play 1st half.

As of now, I understand that the black will have 11 players, so it will be an 11-aside game. Johnny will be playing for us. I do not know who will be playing but we can expect the chinese midfielders will be playing ... And best of all, none of us is expected to play for black.

OK this preliminary line up is as suggested by Tony and slightly modified by me. Final decision will be on the day itself. Everyone get your role in your mind. Be mindful of the issues/problems discussed.

Steven you may want to come with the gloves to practice at the goal before the game start. At least you get some training before you actually "have" to play the position. If you can, put bring your goalkeeper jersey and put it at the goal post. Just in case you need to change in short time. That is if "our" keeper come late you can immediately change your jersey.

Oooh I can't wait .... it feel like we are preparing for Tiger Cup.
