The Crazy Gang was one of the first teams to sign up for the tournament, eager to test their mettle after nearly 3 years of playing together.

According to captain Eric Chen, the team “consists of players incapable of winning anything but we wish to make a small contribution to the society”. Let’s find out more!

Q: What do you know of the concept of “fair trade”?

A: Fair trade advocates typically espouse a number of guidelines. The movement intends to provide market access to otherwise marginalized producers, connecting them to customers and allowing access with fewer middlemen. It aims to provide higher wages than typically paid to producers as well as helping producers develop knowledge, skills and resources to improve their lives. Fair trade advocates also seek to raise awareness of the movement’s philosophies among consumers in developed nations. (I would like to thank Wikipedia for this)

Q: Tell us a little bit about your team, and the event objective for the players.

A: We intend to spread our craziness to the rest of the participating teams. Futsal ain’t about winning, its the participation that counts, the friends you make, the laughter when scoring goals (including own goals) and we just want to have a good time.

Q: How well are you guys preparing for the tournament?

A: Do you seriously need to ‘prepare’ to have fun?

Q: Any words to the other teams participating? :-)

A: If you see players doing cartwheels before the game, that should be us. Just come over and say hi.
