You and P-Noy can make it happen

You and P-Noy can make it happen

Thank God, they did not try to build the national football team, namely the Philippine “Azkals,” the way affluent patrons have been blindly trying to assemble a national basketball squad for full-scale international wars.
The Azkals, who celebrated Filipino grit and grace in their amazing stint in the Suzuki Cup, have shown it can be done.
The Azkals headed for war in hostile Indonesia over the weekend armed mainly with patriotic dedication.
Terribly uncertain how far they could go in the tournament semifinals, the Azkals did not bother to take along a stable of apologists to the battlefield.
* * *
OK, the Azkals dropped both their matches in Jakarta, following a tantalizing stint that had pushed them to the Suzuki Cup semifinals.
But, unlike the imported coach of the ever-failing Smart-Gilas national basketball team, the Azkals did not finish groping for alibis.“No secret, this team played solidly as one and worked as hard as it could,” said national football coach Simon McMenemy.
The Azkals drew both fear and respect from their seasoned foes, who were endlessly egged on by a 80,000-strong crowd of fanatical followers.
An amazing assembly of native stars and Filipino-Europeans, they failed to advance to the final, now to be contested by Indonesia and Malaysia.
* * *
They indeed fell short of their main aspirations.
But in the process, the Azkals apparently unearthed something greater.
It’s like this: Unlike the Smart Gilas basketball adventurers, who often melted and got lost under pressure, the Azkals always rode on an enviable national core and character in the thick of battle.
In the process, they’ve unwittingly exposed a corruption which all these years have bogged down Philippine sports.
* * *
Pardon this, please, but after all has been seen and said about the Azkals, it’s now our turn to help fortify what these gallant crusaders have established.
Now that the Azkals have opened our eyes, it’s our duty to help the country get rid of this crippling blind faith in basketball.
While basketball, despite the debilitated, fruitless years, continues to be embraced here like religion, there should now be a shifting of faith and priorities.* * *

You see, this could be a little exaggerated but, after the bright revelations of the past few days, it must now be clear how we’ve all these loss-loss years been worshiping a false god in basketball.It’s time to turn a new leaf, make things happen.
In fact, if President Aquino is to make true of his crusade against corruption, he should find and use ways to make football more accessible and embraced by the masses.
It’s not easy but it can be done (proposals due in my next column).
After the false gods have been exposed, now is the time to move away from the fancy, shallow doggone world of basketball—Asong Ulols—into the true win-win football path of the loveable Azkals.

look at indonesia recah trinidad, they've been worshipping football for many years still they could not nail a football crown AFF yet (this year might be their shot).
 
^that wasn't a jab, that was a hook-straight combination. :eek:

this guy's an idiot. he should just stick to writing about boxing. the comparisons to the Azkals and Smart Gilas are baseless. Trinidad knows nothing about football and his rants towards Gilas were just emo sentiments of his own personal discontent.

amazing assembly? wtf was he watching? in all the games, i saw 9 Fil-Foreigners holding their own (with no tactics other than to sit back, defend, and wait for Phil Younghusband to do a C. Ronaldo against 4 defenders) and 2 PAF servicemen from Barotac Nuevo lose the ball cheaply everytime they touch it. if it wasn't for moments of magic and Etheridge being a beast between the posts, we'd lose every game.

sports writers do suck.

well, we beat Macau 5-0.
SO I guess Genghis Khan is beatable.

and BTW, this might cause Simon McMenemy's engagement to go down the drain,. ^_^
 
that girl with coach McMenemy is a b*tch..search her in google, she has lots of pictures with different boys. and she has scandal. and she is really a b8tch. i dont think someone like coach who is engaged(?) would make patol to a b*tch.
but who knows..maybe he made patol for one night only..or a 10 minute-quickie somewhere during the party.:D

And i thought that in football our natural size is our advantage?
and it will fit in our country?
http://philboxing.com/news/story-48939.html

that size advantage was because of our fil-fors.
take them out and our country is a mess.

what if we face other stronger bigger-same speed asian countries?
so i wonder what is the so called advantage that everyone is proclaiming?
i hope the football program becomes successful or else we'll be hearing that ping pong is more fit for us to play..and sports people will ride the bandwagon again and abandon football like how they are losing faith in basketball.


i hope football will also have its grassroots program. and not just rely on foreign born players all the time with the locals(i mean locals not rich kids) being stupid like the #6 and the one who subbed younghusband in their last game who has low playing IQ.:o

FOCUS AFF Cup: Philippines Decent Players to Play in Indonesia
At least two Filipino stars attracted grazing in Indonesia ...

By Bima Said Prameswara

Wow! Philip Younghusband and Neil Etheridge tempted to defend the Indonesian Superliga club.

Naturally, both players Pinoy is absolutely no objection to playing in Indonesia. Throughout the two -leg semi-final against Indonesia, the Philippines felt the atmosphere of the audience is so fierce.

Despite the 2-0 aggregate defeat of Indonesia in the semi-finals of the AFF Suzuki Cup 2010 , the Philippine squad can lift the suitcase with the head upright. Thousands of spectators who packed the Bung Karno along the two -leg tight watch of resistance between the Philippines and Indonesia.

After the game on Sunday (19/12), the players and officials of the Philippines returned to a hero's Sultan Hotel in the country. Once in the lobby, hundreds of supporters of the Red-White willing to queue to get a photo together with a number of players the Philippines.

Coach Simon McMenemy was like a rotating trophy. Men born December 6, 1977 it spent nearly an hour to serve a photocall and signature with fans. Not least among the Eve who gathered around the coach of the Philippines from the UK.

Similarly, the Younghusband brothers, Philip and James, and goalkeeper Neil Etheridge that strengthen the English Premier League club, Fulham. Appearances three of these players suck the audience's attention throughout the tournament.

Younghusband brothers had spent their youth career at Chelsea. But this time, both the status of free agents , free transfer and has no permanent club. This makes GOAL.com curious: are they interested in playing in Indonesia?

"Of course!" Philip said when asked his willingness.

He asked: "The club where?"

GOAL.com initially reluctant to answer. But remember Ivan Kolev is considering striker Asia , Sriwijaya FC Palembang also known as one of the clubs that may be suitable candidates for Philip or James.

Etheridge who sat next to Philip overhear and want to engage in this conversation.

"What about me?" Etheridge asked the British accent.

Etheridge says, his contract at Fulham will expire at the end of this season. He is considering a new club off to Facebook to play regularly, because he was at Fulham goalkeeper only placed as the fourth, and last year had loaned to Leatherhead, a regional division club in England.


Neil Etheridge
Philip Younghusband
Currently, each club Superliga Indonesia should be strengthened with five foreign players quota of 3 +2, three players outside of Asia plus two Asian players.

Entering the mid-season transfer market, it is not impossible some Filipino star again landed in Indonesia in the near future. Now the question, anyone interested?

The formula to be competitive in football is pretty much the same as being competitive in basketball. We need:

1. U16/U18 national teams
2. Strong Amateur and Professional leagues.
3. A solid senior national team program.

Since we do not have a professional league at this moment, we can follow the pattern of Smart Gilas in forming our national team, wherein the players play full-time for the team.
 
That's the best news we had since Martinez took over. lol

anyway, I think we already have a professional league, it's called the UFL.

Younghusbands in Indonesia = epic. It'd be a great place for them to showcase their skills. Although I'd love Etheridge to play in Europe or other leagues such as in Japan, South America and etc

maybe the old fart's viewpoint is that despite joining on such short notice we still managed to shock the region's established powerhouses. accordingly, if we put more emphasis on football, we'll dominate asean in no time. but dominating the whole of asia is another thing. obviously, he couldnt tell asean from asian.

people like recah who make us choose between football and basketball have a one-track mind. mahirap makidiskusyon maprapraning ka lang. ( hard to argue w/ them)
 
looks like the girl apologized to coach simon, damn twitpics hahahaha huli tuloy si coach :D
