We lost to Indonesia twice in Suzuki and Malaysia won the whole thing. <br /><br />I do feel for the WNT. They've been doing much better for years now. <br /><br />But the MNT will always get more focus. That's a given and that's just how it will always (sadly) be. <br /><br />How many people watched the World Cup? How many people even noticed that Japan beat the US for the womens' WC? Anyone watch the WNBA? Just how it is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558039822687564906.post-68266630875950700212011-07-31T07:10:00.078+02:002011-07-31T07:10:00.078+02:00All the WNT ever asked for was a washing machine f...All the WNT ever asked for was a washing machine for their practice gear and they were given a bowl and detergent instead. The money being spent on the MNT frills could sure go a long way to help the WNT. And yes they can beat Indonesia and Malaysia on a routine basis. They will need more resources to beat Thailand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558039822687564906.post-84178040452055249612011-07-31T04:33:52.463+02:002011-07-31T04:33:52.463+02:00Have to agree with the first guy. If this is the ...Have to agree with the first guy. If this is the under 23 team, why cant they play against a UFL selection? even the senior Azkals struggled and lost to them. But then again, a camp in another country does help, maybe they can have a local camp and an international one?<br /><br />As for fan expectations, its good you have azkalnuts around, but more grounded fans know that we're a work in progress. either way, its good for the sport in the country. <br /><br />For now, we're still probably just good enough to play with our ASEAN neighbors, bt thats still better compared to our level of play 3 years ago. Until we can beat the likes of thailand, malaysia and indonesia on a routine basis, then we cant look to join the ranks of East asian and Gulf nation teams just yet.mapsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14361609549491256479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558039822687564906.post-81548308369635224622011-07-30T22:54:13.219+02:002011-07-30T22:54:13.219+02:00"Second: Would is not be wise to prove you..."Second: Would is not be wise to prove you're the best at the lowest level before before blowing<br />$$$$$$$'s more kidding yourself it helps to beat<br />NT's like Timor Este and Mongolia?"<br /><br />What else do you expect?!? It's the mentality of a big chunk of Filipinos. They witness or experience some success even if that success is considered an over achievement, they want to jump straight into the big time asap.<br /><br />In footballing terms, a portion of fans all of a sudden have none sense expectations and criticisms even though we're still quite unproven.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558039822687564906.post-77242307772051002672011-07-30T21:09:50.062+02:002011-07-30T21:09:50.062+02:00First: answer the question who's paying for th...First: answer the question who's paying for these<br />$$$$$$$ trips?<br />Second: Would is not be wise to prove you're the best at the lowest level before before blowing<br />$$$$$$$'s more kidding yourself it helps to beat<br />NT's like Timor Este and Mongolia?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558039822687564906.post-63807510807589478762011-07-30T20:24:45.993+02:002011-07-30T20:24:45.993+02:00first, in the gulf area are top notch facilities a...first, in the gulf area are top notch facilities and most important: the team will be able to meet and face stronger opponents......so if you want to improve you have to play vs. stronger teams and not to Far Eastern University or something like that....<br />the grassroot program is to build up the youngsters who (maybe once) will be ready enough to make it to the U-23 or NTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558039822687564906.post-53602408378015366612011-07-30T19:36:26.446+02:002011-07-30T19:36:26.446+02:00The SouthEast Asian games are being held in Indone...The SouthEast Asian games are being held in Indonesia and no team from the Arabian Gulf is competing. So could someone tell me why the money donated from abroad for grassroots development can't be spent on training at home in places like Davao or Bacolod or Iloilo?<br />Remember we're not talking about 11 guys plus coach and manager. The normal entourage must mean about 30 airfare/hotel/food etc bills. <br />If the host country is paying for these training trips then Salamat. If not, real football fans must realise real Filipino football is going nowhere.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
