^ true. The more teams the better talaga. Kaso lang 2 squads ang nag fold na this season. Expenses are really prohibitive kaya sana lang things turn around for the league

 

Sa ngayon wala talaga exposure ang pfl. Maybe through streaming or podcasting of fixtures is the key

 

To be honest, I never saw from a logistic standpoint how the home and away format would be sustainable. I could just imagine how expensive it is for the flights of each club going back and forth to these places that are far from manila. Kung sa basketball nga hinde nag succeed with the MBA project, how much more pa sa football. Although there could be a resurgence sa maharlika basketball but that is a topic for another discussion. I hope i'm wrong but the way I see it wala pa tayo sa level na we could sustain a home and away format para sa local na liga.

Recently, we found out the groupings of the Azkals in the upcoming Suzuki Cup 2018 in November, and the AFC Asian Cup 2019 in January! Both look pretty hard if you ask me, but I guess that's the only way they can improve!

 

Suzuki Cup 2018 Groupings:

 

Group A:

 

Vietnam

Malaysia

Myanmar

Cambodia

Laos

 

Group B:

 

Thailand

Indonesia

Philippines

Singapore

Brunei/East Timor (pending who wins their home-and-away qualification playoff this Sept!)

 

 

[NOTE: In this system, the old top two from each group will advance to the knockout stage!]

the ceres bacolod squad is back in the asean zonal finals even though it cost them a lot w/ maranon's red card.

 

but the biggest challenge pinoy football is facing is the uncertainty of the continued existence of the pfl. delikado talaga ang liga :(

 

as for the azkals, congrats to palami and co for attaining the highest fifa ranking ever. i hope it doesn't stop there w/ the problems besetting the pro league
