This sunday was probably the most exciting friendly to date as fate saw 2 giants, Kamikaze and Mexican Aces get pitted against each other in a fierce battle. Although surprised at first, both teams came to accept reality and prepared to take on each other. Mexican aces, come into this game with an unbeaten streak which saw them taking the Championship trophy back to their trophy cabinet at stadio del Ace.
Kamikaze boasted the return of uspo and had a both ganesh and akbar in goalkeeper duties. As well as a boost, they were also let down by the absence of captain jay raj, creative midfielder fazail who was sent to KL to recuperate from his injury and injured yassin who spectated a match. They were also without hevy and mohawk vicky who were still nursing their injuries. They also recalled balloon and vishnu to add more spice to their attack.
It was kamikaze who drew first blood as safar, with a sweet assist from barathi wiggled his way through before cheekily waiting for the goalkeeper to commit and round him to score. Safar's technique is well known but this goal deserves a special praise. After that aces began their play and started getting comfortable on the ball. Kamikaze packed their midfield with hariboy, seelan and viki working in tandem to break up attacks and provide the ball to either barathi or eli to spring into attack. Their tactics and gameplay worked out well as the wingers made a spectacular pass to safar who in turn, lays it out for balloon to tap in despite an onrushing horde of defenders. Although failing to impress last season, the manager's faith in the young striker paid off and he got onto the scoresheet after almost a year.
In the 2nd half, as always , kamikaze were on the backfoot and could not come out of the defensive half, often parrying away any attacks coming their way. Aces were in full frontal attack and it did pay off as they equalised from 2 goals by their blistering fast winger although replay clearly shows that in the 2nd goal, akbar was actually fouled and the referee failed to spot it. With the score 2-2, kamikaze's final throw of the dice came in the form of matthew.
All they knew about him was that he was fast. Some have seen him play. Some haven't. But what everyone saw that day made a stamp that he was a player to watch. Almost immediately after his introduction, he added that extra edge in attack and close to 70 mins of game play, he struck. He got the ball from midfield, sidestepped 4 onrushing players , and blasted the ball into top left of the goalkeeper. The goalkeeper was left shaking his head and kamikaze were left in jubilation. The last 20 mins was kamikaze's to conquer and they did so with some slick passing and possessional play. Final score was 3-2 to kamikaze and all the credit should go to the players, working harder than last week and showing that they have a point to prove especially after last week friendly's clumsy loss. Special mention would also go out to viki, barathi and eli for busting their lungs out for this game regfardless of the different situations they were in. Keep the same attitude going and kamikaze will be rubbing shoulders with many more giants soon. Although aces would feel hard done by, kkz would like to remind them that they were worthy and equal opponents and in no way, lesser compared to us in terms of result.
This week sunday kamikaze take on an unknown opponent @ serangoon secondary 3pm kickoff. Please come down if you are free and watch the heroes in action. Till then ciao!
Final Score kkz 4 Aces 3
Scorer : Safar , Satheesh , Matthew

Kamikaze vs Manjan Fc
Kamikaze suffered a defeat in the hands of a manjan team in a lunchtime kickoff friendly. In a contest which saw kamikaze score all 3 of their goals through headers, they just couldn't see out the game and get the point. 2 headers from haresh and 1 from victor helped kamikaze to a 3-3 scoreline but a last minute goal for the opponents sealed the fixture 4-3.
When asked to comment, Fazail, 25 stated that the lack of support for the man on the ball was the main reason why kamikaze couldnt play their game today. With a strong midfield lineup, kamikaze had no excuses for the result and could only blame themselves. All the players felt hard done by especially Nash, who emphasised that this result has come to show that we need to work harder as a team and also focus on turning our weaknesses to strengths. He also stated that the players need to stick together, help each other and also work towards a common goal.
Club Captain Jayraj has agreed with nash's statement and also brought up the issue of having a standard lineup of 15 per match. He said"this way, we have a fixed number of substitutes and need not have a furry of substitutions to make the game messy".
Kamikaze look to improve when they take on their next opponent on 13/03/2011 @ fuchun secondary 3pm friendly kickoff. With kamikaze handed a boost by goalie ganesh back from marriage leave and ace wingers barathi-lavanesh shaking off injuries to join the squad, there should be no excuse but to return with 3 points. Watch kamikaze play their game live at fuchun secondary sunday 3pm kickoff. Thanks guys ciaoz!
Final Score : Kamikaze 3 - manjan fc 4
Goals : Haresh(2) , Victor(1)

The roles are designated to each and every person after careful consideration so the team advises that everyone carry out their duties with integrity and for the sole improvement of the team.
2. New changes
As of today, a few important changes will be implemented with immediate effect and this is very important.
ATTENDANCE
- Attendance will be taken for EVERY TRAINING, FRIENDLY AND SOCIAL KICKABOUTS that kamikaze arranges. The attendance consolidated will then be given to the manager to make a decision in naming his squad. To put it easier, in order to be selected to play, you have to come for the 3 important activities which would be training, friendlies and kickabouts. This is to ensure that players will have to be involved in everything and not just turn up and expect to be played.
As we are all working adults and this matter cannot be handled like professional clubs, we have singled out a few scenarios where you can be excused. These instances are:
-If you are unwell on that day
-If you have work/study commitments
If you have to handle with a tragic loss of someone
If you do have a valid reason which is not listed above, please explain your case to the manager over phone and if it is valid enough, you will be granted an excuse.When you receive an alert for training, friendlies or kickabouts and you confirm your attendance, please make sure that it's your responsibility to attend on that day. Situations which will not be tolerated or given a straight absent case would be :
-Confirming your attendance but not turning up on that day
-Not replying your status but verbally telling your friend that you are coming
-Attending drunk
As stated, this will also be attended in a case by case basis. If you feel that you have a valid reason, please call the manager and speak to him.
KAMIKAZE GAIN-AS-YOU-TRAIN SYSTEM
This system was devised to structure kamikaze's foundation and also hone their team strengths in the process. This whole process will last approximately 16-20WEEKS and in this time, we will NOT be playing competitive football of any sort i.e leagues and championships. This was designed solely to function together as a team and play better football so that we can achieve better results. The structure will be:
Week 1 - Specialist training with coach
Week 2 - Friendly against an anonymous team
Week 3 - Team training to correct errors/improve from the points we noted in the friendly
Week 4 - Kamikaze Kickabout/Friendly within our team
Please keep your sundays free at the time we have this program so that everyone can train as a team and thus improve together, which is the objective of this system.
Having said these, i hope you guys will give your full co-operation and definitely after 16-20 weeks, we'll be able to come out motivated, ready and raring to mount a serious title challenge to whoever is in our way. Our road to improvement starts this sunday with a friendly. I'll keep you updated about the match details. Till then, keep busy with the poll! Ciao

Wedding Bells in KKZ
A joyous occasion took place within the kamikaze team as kkz goalkeeper ganesh tied the knot on 20/20/2011. Ganesh , 27 this year has been a prolific figure between the posts for kamikaze in their campaign and has helped kamikaze achieve the double last season. Signed from team vasantham in the summer of 2009, Ganesh has never let his fans and team down and keeps producing trademark saves week in week out. He is also the 2nd player within kamikaze to tie the knot, the first being the commanding centre-back jayraj who tied the knot in mid-2009.
Team Kamikaze, fans and well-wishers wish Mr&Mrs Ganesh a happy married life and wonderful years ahead.

Fan's Decision
From the recent poll conducted, Fans have chosen KKZ vs Amk rebellious 2nd leg to be the most exciting contest in the CFL 2010/2011 season. An 8 goal thriller, the game saw a spirited kamikaze comeback from 3-0 down.
Hari started the proceedings by driving a thunderbolt of a shot into the top right corner after a set-piece mix up. The shot gave the goalie no chance but secretly ignited the kkz spirit which lead to a furry of attacks. Ace striker safar then proceeded to calmly score two goals by taking the whole defence on each time and managing to slot the ball home from 6 yards each time.
Then came a moment of magic. Aravind, who had been threatening the opposition from the left wing did so again, this time collecting a cool pass from jayraj, angling a shot and driving the ball into the top right with his left foot...all this from the left byline 35 yards out! The goal which stunned the opposition, kamikaze players and the scorer himself just has to go down as one of the best goals that a kamikaze player has ever scored. With the opposition almost resigning, but refusing to go down, safar hit the final nail on the coffin by turning in a free kick with a cheeky back header to get his hat-trick and give kamikaze a 2 goal cushion. At the final whistle, one can only praise the kamikaze spirit and their drive to move on.
That's it guys. A small match preview for you and the fans. The next poll is up so please be sure to vote on that. Ciao!

A Kamikazian
The following is an awesome poem penned by Seelan Kong at 3 in the morning just before the Champions league. It was sent as a private msg to some of us, but it was so good that i couldn't not publish it. Here it goes boys...
A Kamikazian
I know of this team, just this one i'm sure
Without silverware for 6 years they endure
The insults and and mockery followed suit
but they always remained glued
Their goal was to play football and have fun
But also had the potential to go on a winning run
A lineup that might look funny
but they'll give you a run for your money
In the flanks they have a shorty winger
give him the ball and he'll make you run crying to ur mother
A charismatic eastboy you might ponder
His defensive dedication however is an unquestionable wonder
A wild mannered tattoo gallery as the heart
Many scars for his team he took as an art
Never-ending loudmouth armed with undying commitment
"just another baldie striker" would be a mere understatement
Unidentified object covering ground relentlessly
USPO his teammates refer to him fondly
He has a sidekick named Spaceship
Who has a knack in him that makes him
More than ready for some leadership
Barathi, Thina, Lavanesh
Young boys they might be
Take them on, Oh yesh,
In the pits you will be
Yasin, Havey, Hari
They are the Aerocratz Three
Juggling between numerous commitments
Loyalty never wavered in any of those moments
FaizalSafar
Say it in a word cos One they are
Unbelievably Talented,
They should be playing beyond our shores
Undeniably Committed,
They will be playing only to Kamikaze's cause
In Akbar and Ganesh
We have not one but two,
Excellent keepers who are quite Handsome too
One has a cool hairstyle, the other his own dressing style,
But put on them pitch and they personify Kamikaze's Style
Mohawk and Vinne
Always ready to Rock and Thanni
And last but by no means least,
If he were an X-men, He will be The Beast
A man of many words that are hard
But the loudest ones are those
He speaks from his Heart.
Kong is his name,
Kamikaze is his Game
then why this season
for no rhyme or reason
are they 3 places above ten
asked a distraught fan
my answer was bold
because i told
believe baby believe
because my warriors are in for the fight
and will continue day and night
for the one thing that they consider grand
is for pride and glory in the end
This is not just a team,
No baby it's not.
This is a way of life,
So fear not!
KAMIKAZE!!!
