Team Preview : Masja FC

Team name : Masja FC

Key Players : Mohd. Fikrie, Shahaidil, Rolan, Asri, Boy

Formation : 4-4-2

Masja FC is newly established for this PIFL 2010. The players of Masja FC consists of the Masjid Jamek Kuching's staff. Masja FC is a pure mixture of the young gunners and know-how veterans. Defensively, they are one solid unit led by their veteran central defenders. The attacking style varies from the centre to out wide. Masja FC squad can really compete well in a physical game.

Team Preview : Axis FC

Team Name: Axis FC

Key Players: Jamury, Zahri , Iswandi, Albert

Probable formation : 4-2-2-2

Axis FC plays fast paced football game. Most of their attacks, were played through the middle and proved vital. Axis FC side backs often went down the flanks with overlapping runs to deliver crosses. With few experienced players among them, some few ex- Liga K players, they are one team that you should take notice of.

Ex-Thomian vs Crobox FC (4:30p.m KO, venue: Stadium D)

*KO - Kick-off

Matchday 2 : The Awakening is predicted to bring impact twice bigger than Matchday 1. The current top 4 teams share the same 3 points after winning their first game.

LHDN vs Masja

LHDN pocket-in 3 points from Matchday 1 in style. Can they do the same this week? Masja is strong-minded for this week's match. Their key players are recovering from some minor injuries. There are rumors lately saying that Masja FC has appointed a renowned coach to avoid last week's failure. Who is that super coach? Just wait and see...

Petra Giants vs Bank Rakyat

This is the clash of the titans. Both teams went rampant last week by scoring more than four goals. How can they handle each other. Bank Rakyat is propelled by Rossi Jemain who's voted player of the week in Matchday 1. Can Donny and his crew overcome this threat? This game promised to be a Classic!

Sesco OrEnergy vs Axis FC

Axis FC is on form last week. Brilliant at both defending and attacking. However, Sesco OE is under-pressure as they went unlucky last week. Missing few vital scoring opportunities in last week's game against Bank Rakyat. Both teams are equipped with fast paced player such as Jamury and Fizul. This should be an entertaining match as both teams are hungry for more points.

Ex-Thomian vs Crobox

Ex-Thom and Crobox were unsuccessful at Matchday 1. They are eager to get their form on the run as every point at this phase of the league is critical. Ex-Thomian played well last week but lacks the quality at the business end of the pitch. Nonetheless, Crobox was surprised last week by LHDN. They failed to launched the counter attacks and their tempo was just uneven. Looks like a nervy start for Crobox. What will you expect in this game?

GO BIG OR GO HOME!

PIFL Rocks Kuching!

As expected, the Petra Invitational League is a phenomenon to Kuching city. Started as a low "frofile" league but it came out more than expected. Congrats for the Organizing committee for their commitment and effort to organize this league. I'm surely this league will expect its second season next year perhaps looking at this year's participation.


For me, i'm just a small blogger. Who has neutral view for teams in the PIFL. Given this job voluntarily just for the sake of loving football. I'll  try my best to get as many info and buzz of the league as possible. 


However, there is a problem. Stated in the chat box.

About Bank Rakyat FC

1. Bank Rakyat is not authentic in terms of player selection. 
2. Bank Rakyat is not Bank Rakyat.
3. Bank Rakyat has too many imports.

What can we do? Nothing

My point of view? C'mon lah...the league has started...Bank Rakyat menang fair and square...Sidak penganjur pun approve squad list daknya...so, continue with the league jak lah...baruk 1st match dh x puas hati.. calm down, if the other teams are well prepared, there's shouldn't be any problem facing bank rakyat fc...tol x???

About Axis and Ex-Thomian outbreak scene

1. Axis n Ex-Thomian lack of discipline.
2. Axis suka carik pasal.

What can we do? Nothing. It's the ref's job actually.

My point of view? Not that I encourage fisting action in football but this is a common thing in Sarawak local football. Zidane pun headbutt Materazzi bah.. Nevermind, we have good and licensed referees who can make quick decision whether to forfeit the game or brandish cards. Enjoyment of the game is what's more important. I asked one of the spectator's of the match between Axis and Ex- Thomian last week, how the game was going, he said " Best match tok. Duak2 ada lawan"...See, he didn't mention single bit about the fight. The fight was just a purely minor misunderstanding. That's all.

About Personal Attacks

1. Multiple personalities in blog chat
2. O tedah Meior..sabar jak pok..

What can we do? Be honest and be transparent. Step up with your own name if u have any unsatisfied thoughts. Be less sensitive for the comments. Guro bahh...

My point of view? 

I enjoy reading chat comments because it's the voice of the community. So that i can improve this blog. But main-main blakang pakei nama lain tok macam x best lah...so please respect the others lah k...

Thank you

Well done, well cooked!

Matchday 1 was a blast. Overwhelmed with fantastic goals, team supporters and good team spirit. A mini league with great entertainment for the locals. Petra Giants tops the table only by goal difference. Bank Rakyat and Axis announced their existence in the league in Matchday 1. Great gameplay and offensive options. LHDN got their job done well against Crobox. The losing team shouldn't worry much as the league is far from over. There are still room for improvement.

Though Matchday 1 is over now. However, the dust isn't settled yet. Matchday 1 started with a good sportsmanship spirit yet we still can't break the norms of Sarawak's local football. The recent outbreak scene by you-know-who made a weak point towards the PIFL besides the lack of professionalism of Sarawak's local footballer. Let's together make PIFL more enjoyable yet still a competition and enriched with professionalism act. 

Matchday 2 is promised to be more exciting than ever where Petra Giants will clash against Bank Rakyat. Sort like a battle for the no.1 spot. SESCO Orenergy will meet Axis FC. Masja FC will try to get their kick start form against solid LHDN and Ex-Thomian will encounter Crobox FC with both teams struggling to get their first point.
