Review of T90 Strike or Score or whatever



I have tried quite a number of mid-end soccer boots before. I have to say i still prefer nike than all other brands. I have to buy UK size 7.5 for all boots. This is not the best size coz there will be too much gap at the front while size 7 (fit just 100%) leave no gap. As you know, leaving 0 gap is a killing to the toe. If only there's size 7.25...

Some other boots which i have tried.
1) Lotto statio (spelling; i have forget since it's more than 10 years ago anyway). This pair of boots is defintely light and comfortable. Unfortunately, it's hard to maintain the skin of the boots and when it get dried up, control will go down.

2) Nike Air zoom (the one with blue/white)
This is the most comfortable pair of boots i ever tried. (Recommended by worm)
Due to the cutting of the boots, it will be good for those with big toes or big front part of foot. It's light and comfortable. The skin is durable and control will be at 1 of the best.

3) Nike R90.
My favourite boots of all time. I started wearing this pair since YJC days. I even bought a new pair of this boots just for the tournament. It's the lightest. And hmmmm, skin is as durable as air zoom. Although the cut is different (front is not wide, it's sharp actually) but it fit my feet nicely. Too bad it has EOL already.

4) Diadora (spelling) red cheapo boots.
I sold it after wearing for 1 match. It's old school stud which is round and long just make it very uncomfortable for playing in singapore lousy pitch. The skin and cut are not good also. I will feel the pain to my foot by just making simple passes.

5) Adidas predator (dont know which generation)
I didnt get the highest end. ($200+) I got mine at $120 (mid end)
What can i say about this? I just dont like it. It put too much curl to my ball. And which btw, i score a few fantastic goals from set pieces. 2-3 goals from corner direct and 1 more left foot FK which is just outside the penalty box.

6) Nike T90
The one which i am wearing now. Well. It's affordable at $89. The wide front cut of the boots put 0 stress to the toe. The skin give adequate control of the ball. Just that the ball i kick give little or no spin, thus, no curl. Shot/cross will be very straight. If you are not a set piece taker, this boots will probably do very well!

What question do you have for me bolah coz my review sucks. Only those with ah beng cum half pail english can understand me.

New boots, new playing style.



Can't sprint so much like last time already. So, i have changed my playing style.

With white boots and white socks, people who know me will probably know how i will play.

I opened scoring with the new pair of boots on sunday. A long ball over their defence line, i chipped the ball over the GK who is rushing out. It went high and a few cm under the bar. ( GOOD GOAL! )

If i were to try this in training, i will probably get 1 goal like this out of 10 tries. With 2-3 more into the net (but not as nice) and the rest saved by GK or over the bar.

With my weight stabilizing at 70kg, I will not squatting for the time being so that i can let my right thigh heals completely. It's painful, but it's feeling better each time.

Once my right leg recover completely, i will resume my favourite position at right mid. muahahahah

2nd match in 26 hours.

Played more than a half on sunday too.

Although it's a goal-less first half, but i enjoyed the game totally. There are passing and passing throughout the game!

I'm gaining more fitness. Will play only better and better.... For sunday soccer only la.

2-2

Played more than a half today.

Overall feel is not too bad. Just strain a little of my right quads from the corner kick and some runs. Joe has big kick, and argh, i'm not ready to run yet.

Left foot still can't cross well yet. Right foot? Don't really dare to use it also.

Will be playing another match tomorrow. Hope to regain my soccer fitness soon.

It's raining everyday


Image from here.

It has been raining everyday...

I like the rain coz it's a reason for me not to wash the car. With the stickers up and rims changed, i will just NOT wash the car so that it will look rugged.

People always think pearl white is very hard to maintain. I disagree with this. By just washing it infrequently (once in 2 weeks), you can just restore the shine etc. It's better than white because it doesn't get yellowish so easily. If you are referring to the "tears" after the rain, it will be there and it will be obvious, but it's easily waxed away.

I find it real enjoyable to drive in heavy rain. Dark sky, all cars with headlights and foglights on, listening to the radio, all driving slowly.

Just that there will be some dumb dumbs who will drive with their hazard lights on! If you have been reading my blog since 2005, you will find this is the 1433129th time that i am complaining about these dumb dumbs.

Come to think of it, i have much more "almost accidents" this year.
-cars turning left from fliter lane do not bother to slow down or STOP!
-bikes swerving into my lanes suddenly.
-turning into my lanes without signal.
etc etc

So please, don't be any driving dumb dumbs.

There are a lot of cases of inconsiderate drivers around too.

If you are going to use the HP and drive (which is an offence), please don't stick to the first lane. That is an overtaking lane. Even if i am driving at 120kph, i will change to lane 2 for others who are driving faster than me!

Some "buey pai sehs" are even worse. Driving 80kph at lane 1 with lots of car following close behind while leaving like 10 car-lengths in front of them.

SIGH. But it's like this 1 la. All these have become a norm in Singapore. I would rather take these thrash than take our public transport.

The problem of globalization.
