Hehe...Sakto sad...Philippine team pero kasagaran kay half pinoy half something...
basta naay gamay na dugo na pinoy tapos maayo mo basketball aw recruit dayon

ato na lang dawatun ang fact nga daghan jud mga pinay run mga asawa ug foreigners. our ladies are appealing to them, no question about that. so dawatun na lang sad jud nato nga ilang mga anak mu excel sad sa sport nga gi uyonan kay we all know the country they are born with has better facilities and training than us.

Facilities? Training? Ngano mga karaan naka champion man

[junmar4]

naa ko feeling basta mo champion sila ani na cup daghan na jud mo support. but kung kato ra viet ila ma daog. ambot pa.

mura'g layo pa kaayo ni bai lestat... ato bitaw baseball ug softball team, wa man support bisan sige kadaug. bisan atong martial arts, i.e. taekwondo, judo,etc., nga sige pud kachampion, wa may suporta sa gobyerno.

The private sector is backing basketball here in the Philippines. Though we don't stand a good chance internationally, Filipinos love basketball a lot, and that means profit for these people. It boils down to business and as far as basketball vs football is concerned, basketball is far more lucrative than football.

Our government never supports sports, or if ever they do, the support that they are giving isn't enough. The private sector brings life to sports here in the Philippines.

di lang nato icompare ang karaan ug karon bro. kung sa karaan kita ang dumadaog kay tungod ang uban nasod nagkat.un pa. as time goes by, ang uban nasod nag improve. kita mao ghapon. nagsalig ta nga pirmi ta kadaog sauna and we dont need further training. due to advancement in technology, for sure ang uban nasod dako jud pag usab. ang pinas nag permanente ka pobre so wa jud ta mu improve pa jud.

mao nay rason nganu champion2 ta sauna. sure jud na nga kung athlete ka nya di ka mag tarong sa training aw ma pulpol jud ka.

Apparently, you can't give support immediately just after a very impressive showing against Vietnam. Take note that the Philippines is not a known football power until recently (I hope that their good showing wasn't a fluke). Football here in RP should first earn a reputation, just like basketball and boxing. Their performance, especially the win over Vietnam, is a good start and if they could continue it, for sure they will be getting the support that they need.

I think the Philippine Football team needs to win more competition or at least perform better, maybe that is the only way Filipinos will give more attention to Football.

As of the moment , layo pa ni sa reality. Just because na abot ta sa semis sa Suzuki Cup, I think dili ni enough para mag ka interest ang mga Filipino. However, at least now mas aware ta na naa tay potential sa sport na Football.

before we ask for support, first we must build interest, interest sa football among all pinoys. pinoys should understand the game, tan-aw man gud sa mga pinoy sa game na football kay boring, kapoy og tan-aw walay score2x, sige lang og pasa2x etc. football should have something like the PBA, a national league, bring back the PFL (Philippine Football League) where players from different regions of the country clash it out, i remember way back in the 90's PFL was even televised, i always signed up as a ball boy back then when PFL came to town. at least with the azkals win against vietnam, it sparked an interest among pinoys, the win buzzed hype sa tibuok isla sa pilipinas hehe. the media played a big role in sparking the interest sad, i was shocked when ABS and GMA, etc highlighted a football match in the news. bisan ang dili mga football fanatics na intriga na lang og apil kung unsay nahitabo, nanu diay kung nidaog kontra vietnam, etc. ang uban naki ride on na lang sa balita. seriously, the azkals should grab more W's to impress more sponsors, or the government maybe. they must prove that the win against vietnam was not a fluke! of course that win is worth celebrating but if they cant do well in the semis, well malimtan ra pod na sa mga pinoy ang ila achievements, balik na pod sa uno.
