Match report: Raiders 2 – 3 Japan
I woke up late. I was supposed to meet my team 11am at lobby of Saigon Sky Garden. Last night’s sake was killing me, but I felt so much better having the miso soup for lunch. Today is important to us. We are sitting bottom of the table yet facing the rising Raiders. This is […]

Cartwheels in Bangkok

Match report: Gemadept 0 – 2 Raiders
Sunday night game. Floodlights. Light drizzle. Perfect footballing conditions for us foreigners. I arrived early to see Mick Stanbrook watching over the earlier KO. He told me about his recent visit to Japan; clean air, cycle rides, bullet trains and robot restaurants. Life was good on many levels. Pat arrived later with the rest of […]
