Azkals (Philippine futbol's poster boys)


thegame08

Recommended Posts

I'm planning to watch the game on July 3 but I was surprised they're selling the tickets at P3,000 ringside P2,000 box, tapos P300/P200 grandstand/general admission. OK lang sana kung mga P500-1,000 yung upper box. Baka naman pwede na sa P300, maganda na rin view. Tutal Rizal football field small capacity lang naman, baka wala pang 20,000 yung full capacity.

 

Sa dami ng Fil-foreigners na pinapasok sa bawat laro, mahirap nang ma-memorize yung player's roster. Sana huwag masyadong papalit palit para merong stability yung line-up. BTW, Jason de Jong is coming back pala but was relegated to the U-23 line-up, and will play only for the team for the Southeast Asian games, not the World Cup qualifying team.

 

Si Phil naman kaya, makaka-focus pa rin kaya sa game gayong kaliwa't kanan yung endorsements ngayon? Kung sabagay, wala namang epekto kay Manny Pacquiao kahit sang damakmak ang kanyang endorsements.

 

Si Chieffy Calidong, sumali na rin sa bandwagon, nagpatayo na rin ng summer Football clinic/camp para sa mga bata doon malapit sa amin. Sayang din naman siguro yung kikitain habang sikat pa yung sport, lalo na kung wala kang endorsements.

buti nagkaroon na rin ng sariling room ang football ... to be precise .. azkals philippines football ! kudos !!

 

malakas ata yung seniors lineup especially pag tuloy sina lucena, schrock, cagara, and guirado. no choice but to get the european pinoys for the short term as they have better training and skills. in the future dapat ma train na rin local players starting sa grass roots. but observe around you, wala pa rin kumilos :angry2: itigil na yang utak basketball. internationally, dapat mag admit na there's a glass ceiling na di kayang sirain sa basketball. hard to say, but hanggang dyan na lang yan. in football, there's a lot of room to grow especially now when you're starting sa bottom. kaya support the azkals !!

 

pati si micheal weiss ehh kinda irritated na sa dami ng distractions and endorsements of some of the players.

In fairness naman sa basketball, we're the world's #75 team while in football we're only #153. We have the best basketball team in the ASEAN and probably among the Top 20 within Asia; our football standing in ASEAN is still question mark today (although it could start to improve), and we're only #32 in Asia (I think).

 

Kaya lang, football has probably a better potential for PHL as an international sport:

 

(1) there's room for improvement for the Azkals and I'm sure with sustained support the Azkals will continue to do so;

 

(2) it is the world's most popular team sport, and its a joy to watch the game if the players are skillful and the venue/football field is of good quality, kahit pipitsugin lang na liga like the AFC Challenge Cup, etc.

 

(3) haven't you noticed that there's a bumper crop of talented Fil-Foreigners playing in football clubs in Europe and in America, while there's practically no Fil-Foreigner playing in high-profile US/European basketball leagues (buti pa China and Iran, may NBA players na)? This is a revelation as to where our international competitive strength lies.

relax ka lang, dyan naman naguumpisa ang lahat. once na magkaroon ng malaking fan base ang football sa pinas, papasok na ang mga sponsors, pag may sponsors may budget, pag may budget may pambili ng proper training equipment at pambayad ng magagaling na trainors , pag may proper equipment at good trainors, gagaling ang players natin.

 

 

 

so do your part, either you support the team and be a fan or STFU.

dude we are at #156 in football... pero consider naman there are more than 200 countries that are a member of FIFA. so our ranking is compared against 200 plus countries that are 100 times more fanatical than us. we still have a long way to go in terms of moving up the rankings ladder... we need to win more matches, play more friendlies and win them, train, start our own domestic league to improve the local boys. mas ok kung maging successful tayo sa world cup qualifiers coming up. mataas ang ranking points na makukuha dyan so dapat win the 2 games vs sri lanka, and pray for a fair result againt kuwait dahil mabigat na kalaban yan.

 

basketball naman #56 nga tayo sa buong mundo, pero out of 75 countries lang. so there is a huge difference. matagal na din tayong nagbabasketball at di pa rin tayo nakaabot ng olympics at FIBA world. kakahiya ata yan considering that patay na patay tayo sa basketball and all we gotta show for it is #56 in the rankings, zero NBA player to represent us, and constant whooping in international qualifiers.

I read this article around circa 1987, the article is about "The Dawn" the legendary Pinoy band, vocalist Jet Pangan said in the particular article na ang "rock parang football sikat sa buong mundo pero pagdating sa Pinas wala", well, rock music has taken off since that time sa dami ng magagaling na rock bands na sumikat but it seems that na ngayon pa lang sumisikta sumisikat or rather naa-appreciate ng mga sports fans ang football sa Pinas, though meron na talagang mga Pinoys na mahilig o avid fans ng larong ito.

i know we're pals since we both root for the same MLB team, and we were so ecstatic when they finally won their 27th World Series title 2 years ago. but i vehemently disagree with your last statement. we all know how humiliating that was when our little leaguers got stripped of that prestigious World Series crown 18 years ago. it was an embarassment on a world-wide scale, and i somehow condone what al mendoza did when he "ratted* us with our prestige and glory. but that's all in the past. and we have learned from this mistake, and to quote the little league philippines district administrator, jolly gomez "we may not win all the time, but now we always play by the rules, which, for us, is more important." slowly, baseball in the Philippines is picking up its pace and has been active, hence the formation of our own baseball league. and just months ago, the future hall of famer ken griffin, jr paid us a visit (i was disappointed when i learned late about it), and was very much impressed with the talents displayed by our little kids. and coming from junior, that says a lot!

 

check the facts first, man! just another headsup, our philippine baseball team is #23 in the world-ranking, way way much better than the smart-gilas team and the glorified azkals. so if we want to achieve that prestige and glory, concentrate more on where we really excel in, and that is baseball. even though we fielded over-age players back in 1992, still we beat the americans at their own game. and i firmly believe that we can do it again. hindi pa patay ang baseball sa pilipinas, pre! buhay na buhay 'to!

pare, as long as there is no major event that we win, or at least excel (like what the azkals did in vietnam), baseball in philippines wont resurrect.

 

the little league win was almost the start of the glory days of baseball in the country, but because of the scandal, the pinoys would rather find another sport.

 

it will take a lote more convincing to make baseball popular again in the country. but of course, there will always be filipino baseball afficionados like you. sana dumami kayo.

so you gonna turn a blind eye on the fact that we're way much better in baseball, and rather focus on what's popular right now, thanks to the handsome poster boys of the glorified azkals, which is football/soccer..is that right? even with comparing the world ranking of our teams in regards to the sport they play in. tama ba?! i know that scandal blotched a stigma in our mindset about the sport, but everyone else deserve a second chance. and please! you'd agree on that last statement of mine.

 

at lubhang nababahala ako dun sa huling sinabi. sana dumami kami? so ano to? ayaw mo na ng baseball?! don't make me label you as a Yankees bandwagon fan, my friend.

meant nothing bad, pre. i really want baseball to be alive, although, like i said, it will be tough for it be as popular as basketball, billiards, boxing and now football.

 

baseball, like any sport, should be given time and consideration, although not all sports will be equally popular. as i said, we need a big event for our baseball players will shine. then only then the sport might be as popular as the azkals.

 

remember that nobody cared about the azkals until they played well in the recent suzuki cup, beating vietnam.

 

 

just for your info, i used to play for our school's baseball team during my 6th grade in elementary. was the 3rd baseman by then. ^_^

glad we cleared that up. kala ko nilaglag mo na ang Yankees.

 

anyhow, ganun nga talaga. it's a popularity contest out there as far as sports is concern. ngayon, namamayagpag ang azkals. pero di hamak na naguwi lang ng karangalan ang ating little leaguers nito lang. and where are their accolades?! alaws! c'mon! can't we just do it for the kids?! they're really f*ckin good in baseball!! media exposure lang ang kelangan!

ganyan talaga yan, pre. if there are no "mainstream idols" (no ginebra, no bata reyes, no pacman, no azkals), then the sport wont be very popular.

Despite Tim Lincecum's rise, baseball's popularity hasn't risen as much as what the azkals did for football in PH. Maybe if a PH baseball team is successful in a major Asian tournament,the sport will generate more attention. Personally though, I'd prefer NBA and NFL to Major League Baseball, parang nababagalan ako sa pace ng baseball. But that's just me.

Para hindi OT:

 

What's interesting about the rise in futbol in PH today is that the fan base is coming from the masa. Presumably, the poor identify themselves with the azkals and their ginebra-style never-say-die success. One good thing about this also is the potential of having a broader grassroots for developing homegrown talent.

there is the masa who can relate to the name Askals, and who are being fed with the news thanks to the intensive media coverage.

 

there are the coños who are friends and those who relate with the fil-foreign poster boys who grew up and were trained abroad

 

there are the girls who find the poster boys the object of their fantasies.

 

 

 

 

great combination to make team popular.
