::Real Forza FC Season Results::

Ok, I have been procrastinating this entry since 01 Jan 2009 but I have finally found the time to this now. So, for the benefit of the players, the fans and our corporate sponsors, I have collated the results for Real Forza FC for the year 2008, complete with club history, player statistics and end of the season awards. Enjoy.

Club History
Real Forza FC was formerly known as Dark Horses FC, a team largely made up of members from the AMAT family. Formed in February 2006 by then manager Nordin Bin Amat, it blends youth with experience (whom the youngsters in the team call old farts). The team comprised of the 4 40+ year old brothers, namely Nordin, Norman, Norsham and Norhaizat, cousins Anuar, Hidayat, Nashriq, Halimen, Fauzi and Nino, and long-serving family friends such as Fazli, Redzanudin and Nizam. However, matches were only arranged sporadically, and even so, there were more likelihood of Osama becoming US president than a Dark Horses victory. One by one, the old farts retired, highlighting the fact that the club was in dire need of new blood, and after leading the club to one of their worst defeats ever, Nordin finally resigned and handed over the reins to his nephew Anuar, who gave the club a new name (courtesy of long-time friend Fazli) in a bid to turn the club's fortunes around and has been leading the club ever since.

The Players
The club places its emphasis on youth, pace, passing and movement. Through successful networking and recommendations from the club's existing players, there was an overwhelming response from footballers looking to join the club.Therefore trials were held to ensure only players that play football the "Real Forza" way willl make the grade while those who didn't were axed, never to be seen from the face of the earth again. May god bless their souls. So without further ado, here are the team squad,complete with club numbers in brackets (only those who have played 3 games or more in the year 2008 qualifies):

Goalkeeper: Syahmi (1)
Defenders: Nurhidayat (2), Saleh(3), Anuar (4), Khairon (5),Wak Abas (16), Ronnie (23), Nizam (28), Hilman (32)
Midfielders: Yunazli(7), Arif Aslam (13), Fauzi (17), Shahirzad (18), Alhafiz (22), Taufik (27), Fazli (88)
Strikers: Nashriq (10), Hidayat (11), Arip (24), Elfi (26)

Results
The opponents that the club faced often have no team name, so I will try to describe them as best as possible, depending on race, jersey colour and attitude. Also, only Real Forza scorers will be listed, because as is always the case, no one cares about the opponents when its Real Forza they are playing against. Results are listed as such:

That's about it everyone. Take note that the club's overall statistics is seriously championship-winning stuff. Even Manchester United at the moment do not have that kind of record. The club have not lost since their 6th game and won all their last 13 games, suggesting that in the early part of the season, the team needed time to gel, and it showed when they lost 2 matches in the first 5 matches alone. But when they click into full gear, they have shown that they are a force to be reckoned with and that form has spilled over to this season, where the club has already won their first 3 matches. Maintaining the unbeaten streak is going to be hard but if there is one team that can do it, it's REAL FORZA FC.
