Kurukuru We Hope.Nevermind.We Proud.

So here I am on foreign soil, but I can feel that nervous feeling of uncertain situation whenever there is a mention of Solomon Islands joining an international sporting event. Dont get me wrong I did not loose any sweat over the national olympic team to Beijing 2008. No no no. We are talking three words here. Soccer. Solomon Islands. FIFA. Enough to make one lokol man to become religious. Its not enough that there is a lot of hope from everyone. Dont let those side sea soccer games become nothing ya.

Yes its the Solomon Islands National Futsal Team. Champion of Oceania Futsal. Kurukuru in Brazil for the FIFA Futsal World Cup 2008. Seh! Even the Prime Minister is nervous and becoming religious farewelling the boys. Believe me there is not enough political luck dust from the handshakes to win any cup. The boys will have to get down to good old endurance, fitness and skills. Months of training and dedication must be paid off. Yep below is the pool table for the Brazil FIFA World Cup Tournament. I’m just going to skip this part and act in denial of the fact that our boys are in the same pool as Bra..Braz…iill..there I said it. Stop. You can get more info at the Oceania Futsal site.

Group A: Brazil, Russia, Japan, Cuba, Solomon Islands
Group B: Italy, Portugal, Thailand, Paraguay, USA
Group C: Argentina, Ukraine, China PR, Guatemala, Egypt
Group D: Spain, Czech Republic, Iran, Uruguay, Libya

Please don’t say and do that whatever-happens-we-are-only-there-for-experience excuse. I have heard enough of this from the Bilikiki. Let us just say that the Oceania Championship win is  enough experience we must believe we can kick some good Foot SOULS ya….But you have to see this video first for some realistic thinking though. Some strategy and strategy.

WARNING: This video is not suitable for Males over  the age of 25+ who tend to become emotional and depressed when National Soccer Teams get their usual beating overseas. Remember family is more important. Soccer is beside the point. Go heti!

So for your comfort before our guys meet the giants check out Futsal4all for massive information on everything there is to know about futsal and the FIFA cup coming up soon.

For after all I am turning religious too. God Bless Solomon Islands and Kurukuru.

Away from Honiara

Hello people-who-care-to-read-this-blog. First: Sorry for no further updates since…a very long time. I was preparing for a overseas traveling. SO you see I’m not in Honiara for the time being but that does not mean I wont be putting up things shortly. The current trip is interesting enough to gather some inspirations and ideas for you. Not to mention some very nice humour about toilets..I promise this is a clean one.haha.geddit. Ok not enough head nods.. carry on..So…Leaving home was heart breaking you know.Usually the thought of leaving Honiara is so exciting that its not until you arrived at the Henderson Airport for the departure day you get to thinking and to feel cold feet about traveling..What do I want to leave home for? If anything happens to me overseas the Solomon Island government would never send a helicopter for me. But then one just have to board the plane and wave goodbye to family and friends. Yep.It is common to ge the whole tribe as farewell parties.Sometimes theres more people at the airport for good byes than people actually checking in for flying. I miss home already and I hope this blog will help me through the few months overseas.
