Over the past couple of weeks, we've been playing good football but losing. Here we played pretty bad football but managed to win. It wasn't pretty, we tried a new formation and almost paid the price for it, the other team had better chances then us, and on any other day, we would have probably lost. But we didn't. And due to Vic's tenacity, we won by one goal.
Vic didn't give up and toe poked the ball into the net after a bad mistake by the other team's CB. Without that goa...

A consecutive game against Iplay and a consecutive loss. We played very well as a team this time around, had the better play overall, better movement and passing but we made some bad mistakes especially at the back and they made us pay.
Credit to Iplay. They've been playing together longer than us and it really showed. They knew how to get out of trouble and they knew who to go to in key situations whereas we're still trying to find our identity as a team and we're still lea...

Casuals had another game this Sunday against Iplay a team we lost to 1-3 in pre-season in what was our first friendly with our current squad. Once again, our preparation was awful. We had players who didn’t show up until fifteen minutes before kick off and we had three no shows. As I mentioned in our match analysis, we cannot have no shows. When a Squad is named and confirmed players have to show up.
Nevertheless, we had 14 players show up and we did well. Iplay is a...

And finally, our first BPL game, and what a game it was. Our BPL squad benefited from starting a few weeks after the Casual’s squad and with the cancellations we’ve had, we were able to play three more friendlies and it showed in our performance. More than any other time, we played as a team.
Harrow is a good team. They have quick players with very good abilities but they weren’t as organized as we were and it showed. We had a good game plan and it worked. ...

Our third game brought about our second loss and if I’m honest, although unexpected, we deserved it. Winless and having lost their opening game by a big margin, Samtivej played us tough for one half and then destroyed us in the second half. Although there was definitely a major question as to whether all their players were registered or not, we as a team have to play whoever stands before us with whoever stands besides us, and in that respect, we failed.
With a fe...

2nd Game 11/10/09 4pm Kick Off
After a one week delay, the STORM finally rolled in and hit Bangkok. About bloody time is all I can say. We played a very good Bangkok United team which is composed mainly if not entirely of Japanese players. They were organized, fit and fast, but we held strong and were unfortunate not to have by a bigger margin. But against a team of that quality, we'll take a 1 - 0 victory every time. More importantly we allowed only one ...

OUR FIRST MATCH 3/10/09
And on the 3rd day, of the 10th month in the year 2009, The Bangkokstorm played it's first game in the Bangkok Casuals League, and promptly got rolled over 2 - 4. Not quite the start we were looking for, but a start nevertheless.
We played poorly from the get go, mainly to half the team showing up late and we were completely disorganized. We went a goal down through June who brilliantly chipped the go...

Towards the end of the half, defensive mistakes by one of the storm midfielders led to Pickled Liver counter attack and they scored from a header. That is the...
