Although it was an exhibition game it was played with as much intensity and ferocity as any international match the AZKALS have played abroad. It was the third and deciding…

Trước trận đấu Bán kết lượt về đầy cam go tại Mỹ Đình, các CĐV Philippines rất tự tin vào khả năng lật ngược thế cờ của các cầu thủ con cưng.

Thất thủ 1-2 ngay tại Bacolod, ĐT Philippines sẽ gặp rất nhiều khó khăn trong trận Bán kết lượt về tại Mỹ Đình vào ngày mai (06/12). Với việc AFF vẫn áp dụng luật bàn thắng sân khách, nhiệm vụ của họ là phải thắng ĐT Việt Nam 2 -0 hoặc giành chiến thắng với 3 bàn trở lên mới giành tấm vé dự 2 trận Chung kết.

Đây có thể xem là một thử thách cam go cho thầy trò HLV Sven Goran Eriksson. Tuy nhiên, tiếng nói của quá khứ cũng giúp cho "Những chú chó hoang" thêm tự tin. Đó là tại vòng bảng AFF Cup 2010, nơi đó Chris Greatwich và Phil Younghusband đã nhấn chìm nhà Việt Nam (lúc đó đang là đương kim vô địch) ngay tại Mỹ Đình qua đó giúp Philippines thắng 2-0.

Thế nên, các CĐV Philippines vẫn rất tự tin vào chiến thắng của các cầu thủ con cưng mà không cần chờ đến những phép màu.

There is so much to be thankful for

Today/Tonight, I'll take time appreciating the people around me, the things that I do have and the things that makes me whole.

Four months on and I am still thankful that at one point in my life, one of my ultimate dreams has unfolded right before my very eyes. Fox Sports Asia/Philippines believing in what I can do is massive. I don't believe in the word "forever" because that is so damn overrated but yes, I will try and use that word now - because I can't think of a better word than that when I mean saying that I am forever grateful to all the editors and big bosses that I have worked with the past four months. It's been a hell of a ride!

Thank you Kapil, our Singapore head for the trust which to be honest, I still think is surreal. If only fairy godfathers do exist, you're that one. Even if most of the time, you'd tell me that you don't wanna talk to me because I talk too much, I appreciate the friendship that the love for sports has brought. Please schedule your Manila trip real quick and I will be more than willing to be your tour guide sans the attempt to eat balut, okay? That is scary.

Thank you, Sir Raymond Olgado, because it is you who opened the opportunity for me to be where I am now. Had it not for your email response, I may still be a writer wannabe, dreaming that someday I may be allowed to become an investigative journalist. I will always look at you as the fairy godfather's right-hand man in helping me make my dream come true a reality. Above all, thank you for paving the way for my comeback run - you don't have an idea how much it meant for me to be considered as the team's representative in the NatGeo Run. It was fun to do that story/VLOG and without you and Sir James making effort to get the free kit for me, I would not have done that.

Thank you, Sir Earl Averilla, for letting me experience over the top football events either from the comfort of the media tribune or in venues that I can only wish being at. You opened the door for me to consider the names I was once just looking up to and dreaming they would recognise me not as a fan but as their colleague. It is you who paved way for me to hand shake with the likes of the media officers of each of the PFL Teams, know some of the big names in PH football scene, interact with Bob Guerrero for football fun facts and other sports stuff, be taught by Ivan Gayares how to determine who the man of the match is, be recognised by Mike Limpag, Cesca Litton and Martin Steuble for my fearless, bold and unconventional way of writing. Thank you for being so ever patient in explaining football jargons and for correcting my lapses in live match reporting.

Thank you, Sir Rey Joble, for the confidence in giving me stories that I can only imagine writing. Thank you for allowing me to pay tribute to where I come from - Colegio de San Juan de Letran, through basketball related articles which are somehow, out of my personal experience as a very proud Letranista. I am most grateful for your reminders that I should not sound so biased for each Letran-related article since I admit having the tendency to do that because I love my Alma Mater that much. Thank you for taking time checking out on me once in a while, talking about things that strays away from sports but more of life in general. I appreciate the fatherly advises you give, it is so genuine of you to do that.

Thank you, Eros, Kriel, Jonas and the rest of Fox Sports Philippines team for all the help you have extended to me the past four months. I hope you guys won't hesitate to keep doing the same in the coming months.

Thank you, Daniel, our Lead Digital Ambassador for all of our collab works which was fun, especially the world cup stuff because it is there that I have realised I can somehow be a comedian by poking fun at myself for all of my errors. Come up here in Manila, soon and let's scour the streets for more vox pops.

To all those have entrusted me their stories; massive thanks! Apologies that some have yet to be found online but sooner or later, I am sure it will be up. I will always stand loud and proud to say I am honoured for each interview I had made:

Coach Thomas Dooley; Coach Chris Greatwich; Kevin Ingreso; Mike and Manuel Ott; Pat Deyto; Phil & James Younghusband; Jeff Christiaens; Patrick Reichelt; Amani Aguinaldo; Jerry Barbaso; Eduard Sacapaño; Iain Ramsay; Michael Falkesgaard; Simone Rota; Dennis Villanueva; OJ Porteria; Anton del Rosario; Daisuke Sato and Neil Etheridge for Football

Coach Andrea Arcega; Deanne Moncada and Natassha Po for Spartan Racing

Coach Seannah Swift; Larry Ronquillo; Eika Barcelona; Capt. Josepheus Lopez and Maj. Ramil Ranario for Running/Multisports

Atty. Percival Flores; Sir Ed Felix; Jonathan Aldave and the whole Pasay Voyagers team - from Head Coach Cholo Martin, the Assistant Coaches, Players - my fellow Letranite JP Belencion and his wife Nikki for helping me get training details, Managers Sir Marc and Sir Paul, down to the very kind owners Sir Miki and Ms. Le-Anne Rubiano for Basketball

Fr. Soysi Cellan for Cycling.

Thank you to all of you for taking time out of your schedules to spare me a minute, hour and a day in order to give my story, be it video or an article some substance.

To the athletes whom I have written about in my other feature articles, wherein some are those I have grown up rooting for in athletic meets, it also is an honour that I was given the chance to write about all of you and how you all made efforts in shaping Philippine sports. Rest assured that my colleagues and I will never get tired of recognising all of your efforts for the pride and glory of the flag and its people.

Thank you, Coach Marielle Benitez; Martin Steuble; Mary Joy Tabal and Claire Adorna, not only for the Instagram follow back but mostly for recognising my craft. You all made me feel that I am doing my job right no matter how much I struggle in making myself believe that I did a good one. I find inspiration and motivation to keep doing what I am doing from all the good words you have said about me. For that and for sharing my articles, thank you. I hope I could be given the chance to personally thank you for such appreciation.

For the record, it still is on my bucketlist to interview Stephan Schröck and Omid David Nazari - biased aside, of course, as these two remains my faves in spite me being missing in action from the football scene for the past month. It was a personal choice as I wanted to prove my versatility and I want to think I am living up to that goal.

How can I ever forget the members of Ultras Filipinas whom I have built awesome friendship with? Kent Garcia and David Abella, you two, among the others are the ones I get to talk to often, making me understand the ultras culture more. Thank you for trusting me with your rants and raves each time you the two of you drops a sentence or two on my Messenger. Even in things beyond football, you showed genuine friendship to me to which I am grateful.

To the people I have met in the football pitch from 2011 to present, you are too many to mention but I am as grateful as ever to have found friends in you. Allow me to stand one name out among the rest - Charles Danforth Cusi Pettys, who, in spite the distance had been so helpful. If it wasn't for his story that I have written and uploaded on my other blog, Xy-Zha of Fox Sports wouldn't have surfaced.

To my professors in Letran who taught me what I know now, my first mentor - Jane Kingsu-Cheng, my Senate internship boss - Sir Sammy Santos, my friends, my family and everyone else in between who has shown me genuine love and support, I am grateful to infinity and beyond.

To Iyah Estacio, who recently proved me that true friends would be there in times you least expect. You've done a massive favour which I am eternally grateful.

To my best friend, Joanna Marie Malayaon, you are my epitome of infinity and beyond. I may not be opening up some things to you but that's because I know you know that I will be fine. I can do this, love! We've known each other that long for you to know that if I choose not to talk about something that hurts, it is because I can go through it on my own, regardless of how long it will take. I love you, I miss you, please be home soon!

In four months being a Digital Ambassador, I've been called awesome and crazy, I've been appreciated as much as I've been hated. Worst, been called a psycho even. But hey, this psycho did so much in four months, eh? This psycho did well enough to leave a legacy once I decide to leave Fox Sports.

It has been a good ride the past four months, I've had extreme happiness and meltdowns, even questionned myself why am I here for - but each time I do so, there will always be something to remind me of my purpose. That somehow, I do have a voice and a power to create or help create difference. For that and above all, for the talent that I am blessed with, I will be grateful and forever thankful to God and give him back all the glory. My success meant nothing if I don't know how to give thanks and give back.

If I may take time to do so, I would confess a bit - I have written this with a broken heart. I just lost that someone who I thought was the love of my life, someone who I thought was the real answer to the seven-year wait but I will choose not to divulge anything beyond that to protect how I feel, what he might feel, and to respect the person whom I still love very much inspite and despite this painful chapter in my existence. I will choose to remember happy memories no matter how few and short-lived it was.

From here on, there'll be less social media activity for me except when I work for Fox Sports coz it is a given that I am going to flood. I will be fine but I will opt to healing, to pick myself up from yet another setback and focus on my job.

Perhaps I would also use up my silence to find reasons to make waking up every morning worth it, and find ways on how to believe that I deserve love again because since this afternoon, I don't think I do have those.

🙂

Inspired by first-ever wins, UFL clubs Kaya, Ceres take on Singaporean rivals in AFC Cup

Photos from Kaya FC and UFL Last week, United Football League clubs Kaya FC and Ceres-La Salle FC posted their first-ever victories in their respective AFC Cup campaigns. It was a proof that international teams couldn’t just ignore Filipino squads in the international scene, according to former Azkals player Chris Greatwich who now coaches Kaya. “I think people now are starting to stand up and take notice of Philippine Football, not just at the international level, but also in the club level,” Greatwich said. “I think it shows that club football in the Philippines is strong and we are more than capable of competing in the regional level.” Last Tuesday, Greatwich’s troops pulled off a dramatic 1-0 victory over Maldives’ New Radiant in Manila, with OJ Porteria turning in the winner against New Radiant in the final moments. On the same day, a star-studded Ceres team romped Lt. Sheikh Jahmal Dhanmondi Club of Bangladesh, 2-nil, in Dhaka. The two squads will have an opportunity to further boost their campaigns as they return to action against their Singaporean rivals on Tuesday. Kaya will take on Balestier Khalsa at the Rizal Memorial Football Stadium, while Ceres will tangle with Tampines Rovers at the Jalan Besar Stadium in the city-state. Greatwich believes his team is capable of getting far in the tournament. “I think we’ve got a great group of players. They are a joy to work with,” Greatwich said “Let’s see how far we could come in this competition. I think we’ve got the potential, [which we are] realizing now. I think this group is very much up for grabs. Everyone seems to be qualified, so it will be interesting to see how this group plays out.” Greatwich also points to Kaya’s indomitable spirit as the backbone to their rise, a trait he hopes the squad will exhibit against Balestier. “I think Kaya has its own spirit. We are known for our battling qualities — the never-say-die spirit. I think that came out in the game (against New Radiant). I don’t think it was our best performance, but ultimately we’ve got the three points because we persevered and we worked through our difficult moments and came up trumps in the end,” he said. For their part, Ceres players Patrick Reichelt and Adrian Gallardo are optimistic about their team’s chances against Tampines. “I think everybody in the team knows the importance of the Tampines game . Its a huge chance to get a result that early in group stage. But we also know it will be tough playing there in Singapore, as they are used to their smaller turf stadium. But I have full confidence with out team to get three points there,” Reichelt told the club’s official website “It’s a big game for us, I think that Tampines is the most strong team on the group but we have chances because we have a very good team and we are playing really good in the AFC Cup,” Gallardo said. http://j.mp/1QSBqwu
