Azkals (Philippine futbol's poster boys)

[happidick]

Even if they failed to make it against Kuwait, we still have the duty to appreciate them because of the sacrifices they made to bring honor to our country

 

Yeah its a duty... Go Azkals!!!

Even bought a shirt printed with the Younghusband wearing a superman's costume..rubberized YH print on the chest!!! So nice.

Now that FIFA Asia is unachievable, our Azkals boys might be separated again.

[blow_gobi]

There's still the Lo Teng Cup (Sep), Southeast Asian Games (Nov), a 4-Nation Invitational (planned - Malaysia, Singapore, Phils, and either Thailand or Vietnam), and AFC Challenge Cup (Mar).

 

The problem now is keeping the same roster of talent for the rest of the year because at least half of the players will be busy with their mother clubs in Europe as the European football season unfolds in the 3rd quarter. Some of these players, like Neil Etheridge, have been promoted by their clubs partly because of good performance with the Azkals. That's why Dan Palami is going to Europe to recruit more players.

Hope the Azkals can attract more talents from Fil-Fors across Europe and in the provinces. They will be the future of Phil futbol

Thanks for that very useful information Master. Let's hope that they can make it big in those scheduled matches soon

let just accept the fact that at this point in time,these azkals can only beat those malnourished footballers from sri lanka and mongolia. Let us not overhype these foreign azkals and create false hope for the fans. Maybe we should start looking for replacement to those azkals tying to be in showbusiness or pretending/dreaming to be in showbiz,and start recruiting players who will just concentrate on playing the game of football.

does it contribute to the popularity of the Azkals that some of them are half Europeans?

That's an honest assessment. But of course they can always improve their game through constant training

[BrightestStar]

Let's wish the Azkals luck for their future games!

2 azkals members won't be suiting up for the Long Teng Cup next month.

OK lang. It's not a major tournament. PH is just there to keep a tradition and maintain goodwill. It's a popular tournament among the Fil-Chis, so participating is crucial for potential financial support from the Chinese community.

We, too, are foreigner by blood, just like some Azkas. Nagkataon lang sa abroad sila pinanganak. Unless you look like an Igorot or an Aeta, you, too, are not a pure Pilipino. Its not overhype. The team just made history by making it to the 2nd round for the first time in Philippine football history. We are still new to football, popularity and pansinan. So, lets just support the team and applaude whether they make victories here and abroad. May dugong Pinoys naman sila.

Younghusband brothers joins LOYOLA FC-MERALCO...

[rafael77]

2 more new fil-german players. are homegrown players that bad?! that azkals refuse to source out here?

[rafael77]

ang pagiging pilipino is not only by blood or affinity. puso! let them live here and be like us. not just go here when its convenient and profitable. and famous. they're second rate players in THEIR country and exploiting the mestizo-adoring filipinos. kung sabagay tayo naman ang tanga that looks up pag foreigner. we deserve them.

how do they exploit the "mestizo-adoring" filipinos? are you saying they're not good enough to be on our national football team? they did achieve a couple of firsts for our country.

my sariling thread naman ang dragon boat team.

for the love of juan de la cruz, tama na ang kahibangan na to!! oo na! me napatunayan na sila. napatunayan nila na hilaw na hilaw pa sila! kaya sobra na! tama na! tigilan na ang kahibangan nyo sa mga HILAW!

 

[Agent_mulder]

So what happens to the Azkals now?

So what happens to the Azkals now?

 

 

 

 

The Philippine Football Federation has invited Malaysia and India to play the Azkals in October at home in friendly matches serving as preview of the national team’s two important competitions next year.

i think it's just unfair for the azkals na dahil natalo sila sa kuwait eh ititigil na ang program..

 

if we think na wala silang patutunguhan, mas lalong walang patutunguhan ang basketball team natin competing against other countries. aminin man natin o hindi, dito palang sa asia na-outclassed na tayo ng ibang country. pano pa sa olympics?

 

besides, again in basketball.. nung 90's nasaan ba ang IRAN and JORDAN team? diba PHI, CHI, KOR and sinasabing malakas noon. pero dahil sa patuloy na pagsasanay ng mga HILAW na iranians at jordanians noon, ngayon isa na sila sa powerhouse teams (may mga players pa sila ngayon playing in the NBA).

 

atleast sa football hindi kailangan ng height, ang kailangan skills... i just believe na dapat lahat ng sports ay pagtuunan natin ng pansin para makita kung saan tayo pwede mag excel.

bulong ko sa 'yo kung saan tayo mage-excel kung team sports lang ang paguusapan.............b a s e b a l l
