A different approach to Football

The Pugmarks Corporate Football Tournament is going on and Selectica was about to play Nevis Network.

A disciplined & well-planned attack by a talented group is always your best bet .

I came to know of another strategy yesterday...

We had a huge player who was playing 'right back' and for whom 'He charges like a frustrated ferocious bull' would be an understatement.

He was pursuing a ball which was about to go outside and he cudn't stop the ball though he managed to kick the chair kept several feet away from the line (testimony to the immense momentum associated with that humongous body of his).

Well, The chair broke. The opposition was watching.

He did get the first 'Yellow Card' of the whole tournament(10 matches till that moment), but that's not important; At the end of the game , we were leading 2-0. Mentally we did not have to wait for the game to end ,We had won the mental battle when the chair broke into two.

P.S.- Currently , I am limping cos 'Each team has its share of Bulls'
