I hope they compensate us by awarding both legs with an away scoring advantage.

Martinez, who is fighting to be reinstated as Philippine Football Federation president after his ouster last November 27, 2010 in the year-end congress held at the Philippine Sports Commission, informed the AFF through an email letter that “The Philippine Football Federation (PFF) has no objections to the Away-and-Away games for the Philippine National Football Team any time they qualify for the Semi-finals of the AFF Suzuki Cup 2010.”

“That’s terrible,” lamented Borromeo. “Not being able to host a home match. This is one thing that can be really good for the growth of the sport in the country then just like that, we don’t have it. We should be given a chance to ensure that we can host a world-class football match in front of our hometown fans.”

There sure are a lot of bandwagon fans out there. The recent surge by the Azkals gave them the balls to shout out that we have a "better" chance at being successful at football where we are still considered as an emerging football country. We haven't even surpass SEA level yet alone dominate.

Greatwich, Threats to Indonesian National Team

Got two articles from the indonesian press, not a good translation of course

Greatwich, Threats to Indonesian National Team
The 27-year-old player was top scorer in the Philippines AFF Cup.


VIVAnews - Indonesia will meet the Philippines in the semi-finals party wattle AFF 2010. The contests between the two teams will play 16 and December 19, 2010.

In recent years, Indonesia is more superior than the Philippines who are more well-known strong in the branches like basketball, softball and baseball and boxing. Of 17 meetings, Indonesia won 16 times and one draw.

But this time the Philippines was not as weak as ever. In Group B, they were able to defeat host Vietnam which is also the defending champion AFF Cup. At My Dinh Stadium, Hanoi, Philippines beat host with the score 2-0.

Players who should be wary of the care team is Chris Simon McMenem Greatwich. He was the top scorer in the stronghold of the Philippines with two goals.

The 27-year-old midfielder is playing in an amateur club in the United States, Morris County Colonials.

Vision Greatwich fairly strong in midfield. Not only able to organize the attack and tempo game, the player with 178cm height it also had a remarkable composure in the penalty box opposite.

No wonder this British-born players stand out among eight players who have naturalized Filipino. Two of his goal, each nest in goal Singapore and Vietnam will be a yellow light for Indonesia's defense line.

here's an article about Neil "the Big Dog" Etheridge

Etheridge, Mark Rival at Bottom Ruler


VIVAnews - Goalkeepers strong national team of Indonesia, Markus Horison will have a serious rival as the Philippine national team met in the semifinals of the AFF Cup 2010.

Mark rivals none other than Neil Etheridge, a young goalkeeper Philippines. Mark who plays lost 185 cm tall with 191 cm Etheridge who plays this. Perhaps the only experience that makes Mark's superior Etheridge.

Both goalkeepers are also the top choice under the rule since 2008. Incidentally acting is the same, AFF Cup 2008.

New Etheridge entered the Philippine national team since 2008 after refusing to call the Philippine Football Federation (PFF) in 2007. Etheridge reason at the time, he felt familiar teammates. Also the language used ie Tagalog teammate, because he grew up in England. In fact, the PFF plan to collect players blooded Filipino overseas.

In a second call by the new Chairman, Jose Mari Martinez, Etheridge received. That was after he was assured by Phil Younghusband, Chelsea's former colleagues at the academy who also inhabit the Philippine national team.

Originally Striker

Early career Etheridge somewhat unique. Since he began his career not as a goalkeeper at Chelsea's academy in 2003, but the attacker. The Chelsea team coach, he turned into a keeper. Perhaps because of his posture that towered over the young age. At the Chelsea academy, studying Etheridge along with two colleagues who now inhabit the Philippine national team, brothers James and Phil Younghusband.

In 2006, Etheridge moved to London rivals Chelsea, Fulham and signed a professional contract. Unfortunately, he was lucky because it has always been a backup. The team coach was loaned to the club Fulham Isthmian League Division One South, Leatherhead in September 2008 until the end of the 2008/2009 season.

The next season, goalkeeper born in Enfield, London, February 7, 1990 was returned to Fulham. Etheridge signed a new contract during the season until the summer of 2011 in Fulham.

During this time, Etheridge only play in the reserve team. He was only once into reserves when Mark Schwarzer Fulham against Wolves on 11 September 2010, because the second goalkeeper David Stockdale suffered injuries.

In the Philippines national team, Etheridge debut occurred in the AFC Challenge Cup 2008 qualifier. He proved toughness by not conceding alias print clean sheets in three games. Unfortunately, the Philippines failed to qualify since losing on goal difference with group winners Tajikistan.

AFF Cup 2008, Etheridge also not conceded defeat when Filipino Timor-Leste 1-0 in qualifying. Unfortunately in the next game, he had conceded five goals so that the Philippines failed to qualify for the group phase.

Indon is racist, Indo is the correct term.

[dxjayrock2008]

Indon is racist, Indo is the correct term.

Ah ok. Sorry about that. Even the journalists are using that term.

[TrueBluePinoy]

They're just showing respect to the Azkals. The Indonesians still feel they have the upper hand over us. It's just that they won't be taking us that lightly like before.
