Peace Cup: Azkals face Taiwanese

By


BACOLOD CITY—More than anything else, the Philippine Azkals—almost at full strength—are just relishing the experience of playing together again.
Back in this Visayan city where they notched some of their biggest triumphs, the Azkals hope to improve on cohesion and team chemistry while targeting another trophy in the three-nation Philippine Peace Cup starting today at Panaad Stadium.
The Azkals open their campaign at 7 p.m. against Chinese-Taipei, a team they handily beat last year even without some of their Europe-based standouts.
Coach Michael Weiss said the tournament is part of the buildup for the AFC Challenge Cup next year.
“I’m just happy we have the team together again,” said Weiss, whose team will be powered by German Bundesliga campaigner Stephan Schrock and Danish League veteran Jerry Lucena.
The Azkals, whose campaign here coincides with the staging of the Masskara Festival, are favored against Chinese Taipei, owing to their No. 140 ranking, which is 35 rungs higher than the Taiwanese

  14. Long pa rin kahit maliit at wla na si Guirado ganun pa din. Pinakawalan masyado ni Weiss si Shrock eh sa Bundesliga kinakain lng yan ni Mario Goetze at Marco Reus..

  15. Depressing result but there will be more until those in charge realise that developing the game at home is far more important than wasting money on meaningless internationals.

    1. As long as Fatlami is dictating PFF, no development will take place.
      He main believe is climbing up the ranking at the expense of local development.

  16. and when i see the line up...........Phil, who actually is always good for a goal and our record scorer, warmed the bench 90 min.. Same for Hartman or Mulders.....why not make a sub, at least when we were 1-2 behind........this is result is a total setback....falling back to old whipping boys times...but i guess this will be just the start as the next friendlies will be lost as well especially in the UAE or India (don't come up we beat them in the challenge cup...now they are on home soil). The most frustrating is that even "giants" like Guam win vs. Chinese Taipei. And good old Fatlami is already dreamnng of winning the Challenge Cup next year. I guess they will be beaten up there.....

  17. PY isnt 100% fit, and thats why he sat on the bench. You dont mess around with injuries. As for Mulders. He isnt better, so im not surprised he didnt get to play. I dont care if he has experience from the dutch league. But for the azkals, he has shown really little of what most of us expects.

    Other than that, the azkals dominated the game. But a very surprising loss.

    At least the players had a nice trip from Europe. Flying business class and all. LOL

  18. Ha ha ha anong nangyayari sa football? Ipagpatuloy nio lang at malalaos yan pag puro talo

  19. loooooool philippines cant even beat taiwan and already dreaming of Asian cup 2015 entry,

  20. this result is very disappointing......but this is football. i guess this game wouldn't be so popular throughout the whole world if there wouldn't be always such upsets. this can happen everywhere and to any team....almost every nation had it's nightmare matches may it be Germany, England, Austria, Argentina etc. If always the favourites would win or you could easy predict and tell what will happen this game would lose it's magic.....so take it easy (even it's hard first) ...so better luck next time....

  21. hindi pa ito ang mangyayari sa atin kapag patuloy tayo sa pag asa ng mga fil foreigners. Ok lng kumuha tayo ng 4- 5 players from abroad pero tingnan naman natin ang homegrown players at i develop sila para hindi tayo over reliant sa mga kapatid natin sa ibang bansa. Alam natin na hindi lahatg ng panahon ay nandito sila at mahirap makabuo ng team chemsitry kapag sandali ng ang practice ng team dahil tuwing may laro lng sila nagpapakita. Sang ayon ako sa UFL new rules na i konti ang bilang ng starting players na foreigners para mabigyan ng playing time ang mga lokals natin at ma develop ito ng husto dahil baka ma tulad tayo ng England ngayon na nahirapan sila kumuha ng magagaling na players because limited ang time nila sa game. Obserbasyon ko lng po ito.

  22. This is what happens when basically a semipro team (Global FC) is representing a nation against real national teams. :D lol Might as well change the name to Global FC instead of Philippine National Team or Azkals. I wonder it's truly country first before club. lol. I mean sure sending majority of your players to national team training is a huge boost to your club play but kinda detrimental to the national progress since it's basically a single semipro club representing for the country. :D So is it really for the country or for the club? You be your own judge to that.

    1. halos lahat ng players sa azkals na pilipinas based ay nasa Global kaya hindi maiiwasan na may kontrobersiya talaga. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang tunay na motino ni Palami kung kasikatan o negosyo ito para sa kanya. pero sa aking opinion ay gusto nitong tumakbo pagka presidente sa PFF at the sametime gusto mag coach sa UFL kahit wlang AFC C License.

    2. negosyo at limelight. lol. kungbaga monopoly na ni palami ang football sa bansa. no competition no progress. para ding government ba dapat may check and balance kasi mahirap na kung isang tao may influence or control sa lahat na aspeta. kaya hindi na natin alam kung club ba o bansa or negosyo ba o kasikatan, all of the above yata kasi one man rule eh kahit na ang PFF hindi masyado maka check kay palami. lol
