  1. In the official fixtures the team is named Philippines U15 and not Global Fc

  2. So typical of Palami and Global. Whats next, signing 14-15 year old kids from abroad? First local, then international. I wouldnt be surprised.

  3. Ayan na nga't natulong na ang Global sa grassroots development, mali pa rin? Di ba ganyan naman talaga dapat? Ang mga clubs kelangan may youth team. Mas natututukan ang mga bata. Ano ba idea mo? Share mo naman. Di yung puro ka batikos!

  4. Normal habit talaga nyan ng feeling experts. Walang posts about national team or dan palami na hindi nila binabatikos. Parang may nagawa para sa football sa totoo mga bandwagons lang pala.

  5. But then, they should have conducted a proper and formal tryouts so we can have a better team. Atually, even without Fil-foreign players, we can still be competetive. The problem is, only those close or relative of coaches and pff officials were chosen. Pathetic!

  7. The truth is kinuha ng PFF ang mga players ng Pasargad U17 because the core of them are U15 Little Azkals (5 from Kaya)para magdala sa Global sa FAM FRENZ Malaysia Cup. Ang problema kasi is wlang official notice ang PFF/Global to UFL and to PSG and Kaya na kukunin yung players nila as it is a club based tournament pero part na daw ito sa "training camp" nila ng National U15 ng RP. In my opinion bakit Global palagi ang mag represent s international competition na wla naman silang youth programs? bakit hindi ang mga teams nasa UFL na ready ang mga teams? bakit biglaan ito at ginagamit pa ang PFF sa pag facilitate ? Paano pag mag injured yung mga key players sa national team at darating na ang AFC/AFF qualifier which is in the mjiddle this year? Ano ba ang iniisip ng PFF technical director dito? dahil wlang national players pinadala ang ibang SEA clubs dito i'm sure cause ayaw nila magiba ang preparation ng kanilang AFC at AFF campaign. Why risk for the little azkals players? and why field them every week when they know they have classes dahil until september ang tournament na ito. Is Aris Caslib thingking well ? or he's making Dan Palami look good if he wins and make look bad if he loose?
