It's soccer in the US!

今晩は, Makie-desu!


For the past few weeks, Ubaydah has been participating in a soccer tournament (yes, it's called soccer instead of football in the United States). The tournament is actually the Cal Poly Pomona Intramural soccer league. His team, 'Camtat' (for non-Malay speakers, please don't ask what it means) has gone through the group stage and is now in the play-off.  Here's a summary of his team's results in the group stage:


Game 1: 5-1 (W)
Game 2: 5-3 (W)
Game 3: 9-3 (W)
Game 4: 7-0 (W)


So far, they've won all games and is currently ranked #1 in their group. Ubaydah actually made the first team (even though his performances haven't been that consistent). 


Guess what position Ubaydah's playing?

As you may have already guessed, he's the goalkeeper. His teammates are mostly Malaysian, one Japanese, one from India, and one Mexican American.


In term of size and height, Ubaydah's team may be the smallest (so far). However, they did manage to win against bigger and stronger opponents (who are mostly Americans) using quick passes and great positioning. 


The play-off is in two weeks time and they will then fight against stronger and faster opponents. 


All the best to Camtat.
