Azkals (Philippine futbol's poster boys)

Kahit na karamihan sa mga starters ng Azkals ay Fil-foreigners, ok lang yan kasi Pinoy pa rin naman sila di ba?

 

Should we discriminate against them because they happen to have foreign blood? Eh di parang sinabi na rin natin that other countries should also discriminate against them for having Filipino blood, di ba? Double whammy sila sa racism niyan.

 

Also, I take heart from the likes of Chieffy Caligdong at Ian Araneta. They are proof that talent shines through, saan ka man ipinanganak. In fact, Chieffy Caligdong's magnificent goals in the Bahrain matches underscored the fact that, at the end of it all, a goal is a goal is a goal. Walang half-breed goals or full blood goals. Basta goal lang.

Last Tuesday, sports columnist Recah Trinidad profusely apologized to a Fil-Am fan who, on behalf of all OFWs and foreign-based Pinoys, felt hurt for his attacking the Fil-foreigners of the team but not the pure Filipinos for the rude behavior of PFF marshals during the game with Sri Lanka. Para kasing walang karapatan maglaro sa team ang mga half-breed at i-represent ang bansa. Para na rin daw na hindi sila tinanggap na isang Pinoy kahit na proud sila sa pagiging Filipino at maglaro para sa Pilipinas.

 

Recah realized his mistake, and promptly apologized, saying he also loves the azkals and that he gave the wrong impression by his uncalled for behavior.

Nabasa ko rin yun and buti na lang he apologized agad. Parang ang sakit nga naman na i-reject ka ng kapwa mo Pinoy, especially kung proud kang maging Pinoy simply because one of your parents is not Filipino.

 

Kahit ano pa man ang sabihin natin sa mga Fil-foreigners natin, Philippine flag pa rin ang nasa uniform nila at ano mang karangalan ang makuha nila ay karangalan ng Pilipinas.

pasalamat nga tayo sa mga fil-foreigners na ito na gustong i-represent ang bansa natin.

 

anong mapapala natin sa mga pure breed pinoys eh wala naman magandang program ang PFF sa bansa? once we are able to have a good training program and breed good local talents, then we can do away with fil-foreign players.

 

 

(OT: PWF.... nice to see you in mtc again)

Personally, I don't think purebreedness or halfbreedness has anything to do with it. I think it's more a transference of technique and technology from the Fil-foreigners to the Pinoys. Fil-foreigners coming from Europe are exposed to training methods, techniques and styles that are current and, oftentimes, revolutionary. Our homegrown players use techniques and methods that are outdated and ineffective as far as today's game is concerned.

 

I do agree that we need a strong training program, an effective grassroots system and a surefire way of identifying and developing local talents.

 

OT: It's good to be back master Jopoc. It has been a long while. I see you're still king of the hill.:-)

The prediction among sports analysts in Kuwait is 4-0 in favor of Kuwait. I'd be happy if Kuwait wins by only 2-1 or 3-1, may pag-asa pa pagbalik ng laro sa 'pinas.

4-0 may be the general consensus among the Kuwaitis but I personally think the Azkals will surprise the hell out of them.

 

I say we park the bus in front of the goal in this game then go all out when we go home.

They may be overated but, hey, its our national team. Support our national team. Maski half bred, they still have lineage na Pinoys just like all of us. Hindi naman tayo mukhang Aetas or Igorot, no? We all have different blood din, just like nuong nasa Azkals. Maski nga si Diego ng Bubble Gang, hindi pa rin masasabing pure Pinoy yun. :ninja:

Talk about totally overated!!!! :lol: these guys suck!!! just like this lame ass sport!! :lol:

You do know soccer is the most popular sport in the world, right?

 

This is followed by cricket, field hockey, tennis, volleyball, table tennis, baseball, golf, basketball and American football.

 

As for the Azkals being overrated, we are a 4-0 underdog against the Al Azraq. In basketball. that's like being a 40point underdog against a team like China. How is that being "overrated"?
