i have been watching our phil. soccer team play on television of course cause the venue is in bacolod and i lack the means to travel over there ,i should say that they are good but they can be better cause i can not help noticing that in every game they played we seem to lack on defence, yes we score 2-3 points and don't get me wrong i like us scoring those points but in return we give an ave. of 3-4 points to the oppositions and that's not good, our phil. team should focus more in defence and preventing their opponent to score and to control the game, having said these i pray for the best for our football team(men, women)and that someday we can enter the world cup

hopefully...sana buhay pko para mangyari un..makapsok ang pinas sa world cup...haha...

 

but a lot of things should be done first...a national league, bantayan ng mga schools ung soccer teams nila tapos sumali n dn ang soccer sa uaap or ncaa...tapos international exposure...etc etc...tapos bago world cup, afc muna...haha...

 

sino ba may connection sa pff dito at ano b ginagawa ng pff ntn?...

they need to tap 'em football-playin' half-pinoys in europe and america... as well as korea and japan... give them the opportunity to play in international tourneys... and represent the country... siguro naman may makukuha sila... sus... nagkalat ang mga pinoy sa buong mundo... kahit siguro sa africa... may half-pinoy na marunong maglaro ng football...

 

challenge na rin siguro para sa mga locals to hone their skills... macha-challenge sila sa spot sa team...

 

bakit kasi nagpupumilit tayo makipagsabayan sa basketball...

yun ang kulang sa wigan, wala silang mga superstar na pwedeng tumapat sa medyo mas malalakas na teams pero kaya nila magcompete sa epl w/ other promoted sides..

 

sino kaya bagong coach ng real madrid?

 

excited na ko sa champions league match ng manU vs. benfica, sana manalo manU para makaqualify sa CL, disaster pag natalo sila..go manU!..

problem naman talaga sa mga newly-promoted teams ang consistency... ang kailangan lang talaga nila ay magsurvive sa first term...

 

champions' league results...

 

rangers 1 - inter milan 1

> the draw was enough for rangers to secure their place in the round of 16 and become the first scottish team to qualify in the knockout stages... brazilian striker adriano made the glasgow fans tense by scoring in the 30th... but danish midfielder peter lovenkrands slot past francesco toldo in the 38th to level the score...

 

artmedia 0 - porto 0

> despite the draw, it was enough for artmedia to secure third place in group h and continue their european adventure... rain relentlessly poured over bratislava resulting to a sloppy game... coupled by the tense waiting game for the result from the other group simultaneously in glasgow...

 

liverpool 0 - chelsea 0

> nothing fancy about this one...

 

betis 0 - anderlecht 1

> the belgian side finally broke their dismal 12-game losing streak... defender vincent kompany angling strike in the 44th flew in between keeper antonio doblas' legs... despite losing... betis had already clinched the third place in matchday 5...

 

lyon 2 - rosenborg 1

> the french champs ended the group stage on a high note with their youth nucleus briefly taking over... highly-touted karim benzema rifled in on the 33rd... but daniel braaten flicked a header in the 68th to equalize... but brazilian fred spiraled one 3 minutes in stoppage time to give the lyon the upperhand... rosenborg will have a spot in the uefa cup round of 32...

 

real madrid 1 - olimpiacos 2

> the spanish giant was understrength with several key players not joining the trip to greece and with interim head coach juan ramon lopez caro at helm... but sergio ramos gave the galacticos the lead with a header from a set piece in the 7th... however... the greeks responded in the 50th with a volley from erol bulut... then legendary rivaldo surged in the 87th to give the greeks a good end note to their european campaign...

 

milan 3 - schalke 2

> milan banked on two second half goals from kaka to secure first place in group e... andrea pirlo curled a free-kick in the 42nd to start the scoring... christian poulsen levelled things up in the 44th... then brazilian kaka struck in the 52nd and 60th to give the italians the cushion... another brazilian lincoln gave schalke a glitter of hope in the 66th but the germans have to settle for third place and a place in the uefa cup round of 32...

 

psv 2 - fenerbache 0

> with the death of frits philips as their inspiration, the dutch champs reached the round of 16 for the second straight time... captain philip cocu header in the 14th gave the lead and jefferson farfan flick in the 85th secured the win for eindhoven...

waaa....talo manu...all they needed was a draw...they had an early lead in the 6th min then lost by 2 goals to 1. manu didnt even settled for a uefa cup seat and finished last in group d. villareal and benfica goes through the last 16. manu in crisis!

 

in group c, werder bremen crushed panathinaikos 5-1 to go through the last 16 when udinese failed to just draw barcelona having 2 late goals...

settle down guys... let us recap what happened during the final matchday...

 

club brugge 1 - bayern munich 1

> bayern missed the opportunity to grab the top spot in group a... claudio pizarro scored a backheader in the 21st only to be levelled by on-loan real madrid striker javier portillo in the 32nd... controversy happened when jose paolo guerrero's strike last gasp in stoppage time was disallowed by the referee...

> alessandro del piero delivered a superb curler in the 35th to open up the scoring... swede zlatan ibrahimovic doubled the lead in the 42nd and del piero tripled it in the 45th... czech marek kincl scored a consolation goal in the 52nd... the win enabled juve to grab the first spot in group a...

 

arsenal 0 - ajax 0

> the gunners were hoping to get maximum points but they ran in to a dutch defensive dam... french phenom thierry henry missed a crucial spot free kick...

 

sparta 0 - thun 0

> fc thun continued their fairy tale european campaign by holding ac sparta praha to a goalless draw and qualifying for the uefa cup round of 32...

 

bremen 5 - panathinaikos 1

> heading to their game, the german side was hoping that the tennants of stadio fruili would succumb to their visitors... frenchman johan micoud converted a penalty in the 2nd followed by a barrage of goals from nelson valdez in the 28th and 31st... masked man miroslav klose scored on the run in the 51st... the greeks got a consolation from a naisef morris header in the 53rd... thorsten frings drove the final nail a minute in to stoppage time...

 

udinese 0 - barcelona 2

> the catalans were supposed to be weak with their strike force and enigmatic coach not joining the trip to italy... the spanish champs broke the hearts of the udinese faithful with santiago ezquerro hammering one in the 85th... followed by a 90th minute goal from andres iniesta... the italians will have to settle for a uefa cup round of 32 berth...

 

benfica 2 - manchester united 1

> the manchester nightmare continues as they fail to advance to the knockout stages for the first time in 10 years... paul scholes gave the fergie's army the lead in the 6th... but geovanni's difficult header in the 16th became the impetus of the final outcome as beto's strike in the 34th deflected off scholes and passed away from edwin van der sar sealed the fate of the english side...

 

villareal 1 - lille 0

> substitute antonio guayre struck in the 67th and dashed lille's hope of qualifying in the knockout stages...

walanghiya, napahiya ako sa fearless forecast ko, kompiyang kompiyansa ko na mananalo kami..masamang masama loob ko sa pagkatalo ng manU..ewan ko ba..paminsan ang galing2x, minsan naman ang buraot, ewan ko ba..basta may kulang sa team na to, there should be changes made this january, major changes, good changes..

 

gaya nga ng sabi ko dati..get rid of players na naguunderperform namely ferdinand (nawala na kompiyansa ko sa kanya), ronaldo (ang bilis tumumba, mas ok pa si park, kaso pereho silang di marunong dumipensa, nakakabwiset), o'shea (mas gusto ko pa si wes brown sa kanya), fletcher, miller..

 

what they need (january transfer window):

-holding defensive midfielder (mas maganda mala-Keane ang style)..

-left/right midfielders (at least 1, mas ok kung 2,un makakapagcross ng ayos & consistent sa depensa)

-central defenders (ferdinand=inconsistent)..

 

players they definitely need to keep:

-Rooney

-Van Nistelrooy

-Heinze

-Van Der Sar

 

aaaahhh! kakabwiset tlaga, anyway prang bida sa action movies sa simula nagpapatalo, sana makabawi na sila by next season..Go ManU!!

 

MY CHAMPIONS LEAGUE RANGKINS (dpending on chances of winning the CL)..

1.chelsea fc

2.olympique lyonnais

3.fc barcelona

4.juventus fc

5.bayern munich

6.ac milan

lately, dami ngang sablay na mga tactical decisions ni ferguson, pero feeling ko kaya sumasablay ang tactics nya kasi ang current players sa squad nya ay hindi up-to-par sa knyang tactics & standards..di katulad nung dati, mga bata, magagaling & consistent players ang meron sila, katulad nila giggs, scholes, keane, neville brothers, yorke, cole..sbi nya in a recent interview na ManU will start rebuilding daw, sana nga mabalik nya ang glory days ng ManU..
