RP kisses AFC U-16 Qualifier hopes goodbye

Outplayed and outclassed in all departments, Team Philippines Under-16 football squad formally bid their hopes for securing a slot in next year’s AFC U16 Championships set in Nepal goodbye as they suffered a devastating 0-9 loss against Indonesia in the Group E Qualifiers of the AFC event yesterday at the Panaad Stadium football pitch in Brgy. Mansilingan, Bacolod City.
Once again, the Filipinos’ lack of training and exposure to international matches was evident on how they launched their attacks against the well-prepared Indons.
Sharing his technical analysis on the match, assistant coach John Carmona admitted that Indonesia is not only physically fit but they had better preparations.
“We lost to Indonesia in a match of endurance. It was evident that the Indonesians were physically fit for this Qualifiers,” Carmona said.
He added that what the RP Team needs is a system of good and early preparation.
As rain clouds darkened the Pana-ad skies, a near own goal a couple of minutes into the game cast a spell of gloom and doom for the hapless RP XI as keeper Christopher Nicholas Camcam fumbled with the ball.
While Camcam managed to execute a couple of impressive saves, as the Indons started attacking the goal, his skills was no match against the rampaging Robin Bagus Febrian who acutely followed up a missed stab to register Indonesia’s first goal.
From then on, it was an all-Indonesia show in the first half as Purwa Putra added his own two goals while Hendriko Masko Kiwak and Hadi Wibowo scored one apiece for a 5-0 first half blitz.
Negrense Melecio Manuel Mentor’s attempt midway in the second half was the only bright spot for the RP XI as the Indons dominated the entire game for a 0-9 victory, unmindful of the heavy downpour.
“We need more matches for the boys, both local and international. Despite the loss, we are motivating them to give their best in our last game against Bangladesh tomorrow. The team should improve its overall performance,” coach Carmona said.

Japan toys with RP XI in Asian U16

POWERHOUSE Japan lived up to its pre-tournament billing as the team to beat in the ongoing Asian U16 Football Championship Group E Qualifiers 2010 at the Panaad Sports & Recreational Park pitch Saturday.
Japan team displayed precision passing and excellent command of the game as they blanked a tentative Philippines squad, 12-0, before a largely-awed crowd that came to find out for themselves the kind of stuff the Filipino booters were made of.

No. 14 Hayakawa tallied five goals while No. 9 Takumi Minamoto and No. 44 Takuya Iwanami added three apiece while No. 12 Shinjo Kosuke chipped in with one goal to complete the rout over the hapless home team. In Saturday’s second match, Indonesia and Bangladesh played to a scoreless draw giving the Negrense fans an idea of what to expect in the next few days in this Asian Football confederation (AFC) event being staged here in cooperation with the Philippine Football Federation (PFF) represented here by general secretary Cyril Dofitas and local stakeholders led by local organizing chairman Rafael Lizares, president of the Executive Village Football Club. Saturday’s opening matches were witnessed by a packed crowd at the Panaad main grandstand, including former PFF president lawyer Rene Adad, who braved the intermittent drizzle just to cheer for the RP squad that included in its roster four Negros Occidental standouts—Gerald Mark Layumas of San Carlos City, and Allen Shane Belera, Sidney Angelo Magbanua and Melecio Manuel Mentor of Victorias City.

RP U16 confident of good showing

Visiting teams from Japan , Chinese Taipei, Indonesia , and Bangladesh may have an edge in terms of preparation and logistics, but host Philippines may yet pull off a surprise as the Asian Under-16 Football Championship Group E Qualifying Tournament gets underway this Saturday at the Panaad Stadium football pitch in Brgy. Mansilingan, Bacolod City .
Members of the RP XI mentored by head coach Glenn Ramos are unfazed by the reputation of the foreign teams.
Negrense midfielder Gerald Mark Layumas, one of the four locals tapped to join the team, said they will be more inspired if all football followers in Negros will come out and cheer for them in the weeklong event at the Panaad Stadium.
“If they cheer for us we will surely get inspiration to play harder,” said Layumas, the 15-year old midfielder from Colegio de Santo Tomas-Recoletos in San Carlos City , Negros Occidental.
“A passion for the game and a passion for playing for country. That's what we have and that's what we are bringing in this tournament,” Carlos Alberto Gerardo Monfort, the 14-year-old son of the late national coach and PFF general secretary Chris Monfort said.
Layumas and Monfort were among the members of the team who joined yesterday's taping of “The Morning Show” over ABS-CBN TV 4 to promote their participation in the AFC-organized competition. The interview will be aired on Friday.
Joining them was 15-year old goalkeeper Florencio Badelic Jr. of Holy Cross High School in Bukidnon, who said he feels proud to have played for the country especially against foreign teams.
“I'm proud to be playing for the country; it's an experience I'll never forget,” Badelic said.
Meanwhile, coach Ramos expressed the team's gratitude to Executive Village Football Club president Rafael “Junie” Lizares for hosting the national team.
Team Philippines is scheduled to take on powerhouse Japan in the 2 p.m. opening match this Saturday, followed by the game between Indonesia and Bangladesh at 4:30 p.m.
Matches are open to the public for free said event coordinator and PFF general secretary Cyril Dofitas.*NAB

RP booters face stiff competition in Asian U16 Group E qualifying tourney

IT will not be easy for the RP national Under-16 football squad that will compete against the likes of powerhouse Japan, Chinese Taipei, Indonesia and Bangladesh in the forthcoming Asian U16 Football Championship Group E qualifier slated October 3-11, at the Panaad Sports Complex pitch in Barangay Mansilingan.

But organizers led by Philippine Football Federation (PFF) general secretary Cyril Dofitas believes the nationals have a good chance of performing well in this Asian Football Confederation (AFC) organized event where the top two teams will advance to the main draw of the competition next year.
“This is an age-group tournament and unlike in the open category events I believe our players have a fair chance of competing well against the foreign teams especially since they will be playing in home grounds where the Negrense fans are expected to cheer them to play their best,” Dofitas told Bacolod sports writers earlier.
