Global opens Singapore bid Wednesday night


By Cedelf P. Tupas

HOPING to make up for a disappointing AFC Cup stint, United Football League champion Global seeks international glory this time in the Singapore Cup starting Wednesday night against Hougang United at Hougang Stadium.
As the only UFL side in the 16-team tournament, Global is hard-pressed to improve on last year’s performance when it bowed out in the first round.
Although still in contention in the UFL Cup and the league competition, Global fell short in the AFC Cup, failing to make it past the group stage.
But with quality players beefing up the side this time, hopes are high of Global duplicating the club’s best finish in 2013 when it reached the semifinals of the prestigious competition which is now on its 18th year.
“We’re hopeful that, with a stronger squad, we can make an impact in the tournament,” said Global owner Dan Palami. “There’s pressure to do well considering we are the only Philippine club in the competition.”
National team standouts Amani Aguinaldo, Daisuke Sato, Mark Hartmann and Misagh Bahadoran will be at the forefront for Global, who will be boosted by new signings Norio Suzuki, a J-League veteran, and former Loyola Meralco midfielder Matt Hartmann.
Hougang finished seventh in the S-League last season.

      sorry po no local free or catv ang gustong sumugal at mag invest sa tv coverage.

      asa pa sa sports5 or abs sports and action...napaka focus kasi sila sa tv coverage ng PBA semis, NBA western and eastern finals and PSL volleyball.

      sana magkaroon ng live tv coverage hindi delayed ang Azkals U23 mens football sa darating na sea games..

      kaya lang masyadong sigurista si Sports5 chief honcho pilato boy sikip Chot Reyes ang magiging focus nila sa Seag ay yung coverage ng U23 volleyball and Cadet team ng Gilas kasi mahatak raw sa tv commercials..

      kaya yung coverage ng football itinapon nila Reyes sa UHF Aksyon tv...malabo pa ang signal pag hindi naka catv.

    we need more exposure overseas para palakasin ang mga local football clubs natin.

    sa mga ganitong invitationals hindi na kailangan ng tv coverage from Imperial Manila Networks..

    politics first with payola ang priority ng mga local networks dito para magka tv exposure.

    football is a global exposure hindi na kailangan ng attention from local tv networks...kusa na lang lalapit yung mga Imperial Manila networks para bigyan ng tv coverage ang ng local football.

    hindi seasonal ang football unlike other disciplines na ipino-promote ng local tv network...

    both PBA and NBA mas kailangan nila ng local and global exposure from media....dahil hindi sila ang busiest sport sa mundo like football and tennis.

    unlike football and tennis mas maraming competitions like UEFA and AFC sanction competitions, numerous Tennis Open and yung bagong IPTL.

    Fiba survives bcoz of NBA huge market..hindi tulad sa football na bankable leagues like EPL,Bundesliga,Serie A,La liga, A-league, J-league,MLS,Danish Super Liga,Russian Premier league and Ligue A.

    ang fiba-euroleague/eurocup medyo struggling pa sa Global market

      Ang mga pinoy kasi walang tiyaga kaya di nanonood ng soccer. Hindi rin marunong sa taktika. Kaya hindi umuunlad ang mga pinoy.

      If our legislators will abolish the 1987 constitution and remove the 60-40 restrictions for FDI..

      from presidential to parliamentary federal system di impossible na dumami ang sports hotbed sa iba't ibang region sa Pilipinas.

      Ang problema nagpapadikta sa mainstream media, oligarchs and politicians from Imperial Manila ang halos lahat ng region sa Pilipinas. .

      Mahirap kasi kung puro spoonfed ng Imperial Manila ang aasahan ng boung Pilipinas. .

      Kung anu sikat sa Manila dapat boung Pilipinas...wala bang products and cebu baguio davao zamboangoa at boung Pilipinas para I challenge ang NCR.

      Mula entertainment, sports, media, movie and other commodities kailanga I promote at mangaling mula.

      Kung magiging federal and parliamentary ang system ma reduce ang problema sa logistics kc bawat region self sustaining may solution na sa development ng infrastructure kaya na ng boung Pilipinas na magkaroon ng maraming Philippine stadium.
