solicitor Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Lets accept the fact that as of this time talagang yung mga malnourish sa mongolia and sri lank lang ang kaya natin. Lets aim for at least top 6 in Southeast Asia first...or maybe top 5.... Quote Link to comment
sujiro Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Talk about totally overated!!!! these guys suck!!! just like this lame ass sport!! I agree that Azkals are overrated, but i dont think that football sucks..it may be boring for some because goals are not that frequent as compared to basketball..but i still believe we are in a treat here like David Bunevacz-like controversy.. there is nothing wrong for supporting our national team, but the talent and performance of the Azkals does not justify the financial support and attention that we are giving to them..that is why the other sports are suffering..I hope we could the same as to other sports, which are proven to bring us medals and recognition. The Philippine Dragon Boat Rowing Team has already brought home numerous accolades, but are still being ignored. Wushu is another sports that have already delivered countless medal from SEA Games and Asian Games, but just like the rowing team, still have yet to receive any significant support from our country..

Wushu is another sports that have already delivered countless medal from SEA Games and Asian Games, but just like the rowing team, still have yet to receive any significant support from our country.. Tell this to Dan Palami, who's spending his personal funds for 4 years now because he believes in the Azkals team, having played football himself with UP varsity during his college years. And the players get allowances but not that much, only a little higher than other sports get from the government. Fortunately, there's been some good results for team recently so there are more sponsors and endorsements coming in. The hard work paid off. Private businesses have to come in to support a specific sport, kasi wala kang mahihita kung aasa ka lang sa gobyerno o sa mga sports commissions. And this will require showing potential sponsors how the companies could benefit by supporting the sport. Quote Link to comment
Swiper Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 3-0 score? oh s@%t!!! nuff said!! Quote Link to comment
johnnydrama Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 The Azkals fought a good fight. So what if they lost against Kuwait? Let's not jump off the bandwagon because of a few bumps in the road. Be fair naman sa kanila - when the Kuwaitis come to Manila, they'll know what's coming to them!!! Kaka-victory party lang sila, binahiran pa ng iskandalo ng isang istarlet...should be fair warning to them not to immerse themselves too much into "showbiz". Baka maka-"David Bunevacz syndrome" sila!!! Quote Link to comment

Wushu is another sports that have already delivered countless medal from SEA Games and Asian Games, but just like the rowing team, still have yet to receive any significant support from our country..I agree with you that there are a lot of other national teams who have brought glory and medals to us. I have actually written of the plight of the dragonboat team and I also wrote about Rene Catalan and the shoddy treatment he received from the wushu federation and I wish I could do more for him. But I think it is unfair to say that our football team is undeserving of whatever they are getting now. Simply put, it is only when they started winning that they started getting all these extra budget allocations and attention. Do you really think that, in 2005, the Azkals were getting more money than the Dragonboat or wushu teams and that they had endorsements and training abroad? Do you think, in 1997-98, when the Centennial team was training for the Asian games, that the Azkals were getting the same budget? Whatever the Azkals are reaping now, they earned with hard work and dedication to flag and sport. Quote Link to comment

pinoywritingfool Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 (edited) Playing for the flag?They didn't even know how to sing the Philippine national anthem...Is that the only qualification you have for patriotism? Cause I know some people from some schools who can barely sing it too. Edited July 25, 2011 by pinoywritingfool Quote Link to comment
thegame08 Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 (edited) Long term naman ang plan nila and to progress with every game and not to make it all the way to the World Cup instantly, kung mahigitan nila iyun then well and good for them. As a Kuwaiti player said they need more experience, I'm sure once they do that they can be one of the top teams in Asia. Their coach seems to be on the right track, they just got to avoid all the distractions (showbiz, partying and of course women) which is easier said than done hehe....

kuya willie Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 this is what happened to azkals hyped train after being ass whooped by kuwait Quote Link to comment
Kyle_Rayner Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 What if the Azkals aren't composed of Fil-foreigns with good looks. What if they look like your average pinoy? Let's say kamukha nila yung traffic enforcer na nakikita mo araw araw, or yung nagdedeliver ng newspaper, o kaya ni Pacquiao, Boom Boom or Zaldy Ampatuan. Will they still get the same attention provided they have the same level of skill of even greater? Quote Link to comment

Sir i believe its a must for anyone who wants to be called a patriot or for someone "playing for the flag" though not the only qualification... but its fundamental..ain't it funny to see a so called "patriot" mumbling and jumbling the national anthem ... it don't adds to the credibility...Our expectation maybe too much, too early... others called it a bandwagon... I hope its not just a fad. because I believe Filipinos has a future in football... more than in basketball... Quote Link to comment
