Azkals (Philippine futbol's poster boys)

[KillTheDEVIL]

Only the Younghusbands are becoming popular. What about the others?

[KillTheDEVIL]

Kung hilaw, e di pahinugin. I-nurture. That's the right attitude. Hindi yung basta na lang iniiwanan. Walang matatapos sa inumpisahan.

 

Correct Master. WE started it, we supported it in many occasions, therefore, we have to stick to them till the end.

[KillTheDEVIL]

Tanong lang ulit.

 

Di ba racist ang patuloy nating pagkutya sa mga players by virtue of their being of mixed-race?

 

Nice point. It's either negative or positive racism. So it really does not work well for both parties, i.e., the natives and the Fil-foreigners. I have a little foreign blood too so I can really tell whether it's good or bad. It's definitely bad if you think about either superiority or inferiority attitude.

safe answer.

 

point is lets respect us. matuto tayong bumilib sa mga sarili natin. kahit PANGO tyo!

nothing against the azkals pero nakatulong ung good looks nila sa popularity nila. i was just wondering if they didn't possess those good looks would the public still support them?

PHILIPPINE AZKALS will have a new (alternate) GOAL KEEPER in the person of ROLAND MULLER. He will join team practice later..

 

ROLAND MULLER is from MSV Duisburg, a 2 bundesliga team (tier 2) in Germany.

 

note: he will not replace NEIL ETHERIDGE. He'll be an alternate.

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.

 

 

 

 

hindi tayo mga tanga! Nasa abroad kasi ang magagandang opportunities. Kaya millions ang ating OFWs. Kung dito sila mananatili, look what is happening na sa Dragon Boat, nagbigay ng karangalan, tinapakan pa ng mga politkos. Ganun lang yun. They have the heart. They represent the Philippines. They were injured dahil sa pag laro sa ating bansa. Unlike, lets say, sa basketball natin. Ang daming PBA players na ayaw maglaro para sa ating bansa. Imagine, Asi Taulava pa, isang tawag para sa bansa, laro kaagad! Sina Aquino, Ildefonso, Ritualo, etc. daming dahilan. They may be second rated players sa bansang nilakihan nila but they played for our country, second lang ang pagiging mestiza, which, I think its not whats on their mind. Di naman lahat ng Fil-foreigner qualified at may mga na disqualified din na maglaro sa Azkals. Again, hindi sila at tayo tanga!

Yes, I and they will. I watched live their Rizal Memorial games and majority are males (mukha namang hindi ganun karami ang mga bading, di ba?) Minority and kaunti lang ang females. What they watched are not the looks of the players but the way they brought football Philippines to higher levels.

Naku, kaya lang naman popular ang Younghusbands all because ginagamit sila ng ABS-CBN. Alisin mo yun, yung brand ng play nila ang mapapansin. Lam mo naman, kapag pagkakaperahan, yung mga broadcast giants natin, mapagsamantala. Again, its not sa popularity, its the quality of games. Magaling din naman yung Younghusbands (per our standards, of course)

[rafael77]

kung pagiging matalino ang maging ofw at tumira abroad dahil mahirap dito, i rest my case. i guess we deserve everything that we are getting. umalis na lang tayong lahat at takasan ang inconvenience ng ating bansa kung pagiging tanga ang hindi pagtakas at paglaban para tayo umunlad. tanga tayo dahil nandito pa rin tayo? baka naman hindi. konting sense of country naman.

 

they are second rate players in THEIR country, precisely why isang tawag lang nandito sila agad. the opportunity is here in the mestizo-loving country. if they are starting players in their country, i really doubt if they will be at our beck and call. ditto with asi. dito lang naman siya nagka-career so he'll make tahe most out of it. national or commercial. the local player's lament is that ever since is that its fil-ams before them. thats why they're so cold about it. they are second stringers to the fil-am in their OWN team in their OWN country. these locals who wants to live and die with their team but won't be given a chance.

 

choosing between chiffy and younghusband? my personal opinion is chiffy is much better because his goals are during the plays. the younghusbands goals are partly because they are the designated free kickers by the FOREIGN coach. and choosing between being an unsupported and tinapakan na paddler na nagbigay ng karangalan sa bansa and a filipino paddler na naglaro na lang for another country dahil hidi siya appreciated dito? what do you think?

 

to me it's a no brainer. and the answer i think ay hindi pagiging tanga.

 

hindi tayo mga tanga! Nasa abroad kasi ang maga gandang opportunities. Kaya millions ang ating OFWs. Kung dito sila mananatili, look what is happening na sa Dragon Boat, nagbigay ng karangalan, tinapakan pa ng mga politkos. Ganun lang yun. They have the heart. They represent the Philippines.

[rafael77]

sorry, cant get over this. this is a very very very scary mindset. poor us

 

hindi tayo mga tanga! Nasa abroad kasi ang magagandang opportunities. Kaya millions ang ating OFWs.

I look forward to the day when foreign clubs actually recruit players from the Philippines.

 

One of the top players, if not the top, in the Dutch national team that was the runner-up in the recent World Cup is an Indonesian.

 

What everyone expect in France to be #1 goal-keeper in a few years is actually a pure Filipino by blood. Both parents are Filipinos, but the kid was born and raised in France. This is one player that Dan Palami would love to have his hands on but its unlikely that France will allow this guy to play for the Philippines.

 

In the meantime siguro, while football is still in the developing stage in the Philippines, let's get exposed to and learn international best practice in football by recruiting talents where football is already in highly advanced stage of development. It's like in economics: the fastest way to acquire technology is through transfer of technology by attracting organizations which already have the technology to locate in the country, or by buying the technology from abroad.

MLB envoy optimistic of RP baseball talent
