25th February 1998
This game was us versus the WCG. On their side they had
some very competent professionals. One player was Mark Hughes! (A well-known
player in Britain who used to play for Manchester United; he has a lot of
grit as well as skill.)
We were mere amateurs and it was expected that they would
win hands down. The football was the size of a pea! Funnily enough, every
time they scored, we equalised. It was quite stunning how we kept pulling
back goals. They thought they would have us licked, but the final score when
the dream ended was about 4-3 to them. They may have had one up on us, but I
felt that if the dream had continued we would have won. Obviously, it is not
God's time for us to win yet.
