That's why I was never ...It's all a circus. That's why I was never an Azkals fan from the start. I support Philippine football but no way will I be an Azkals crazed football fan. I have played with some of this Azkals before in national tournaments and they are just a bunch of mediocre players, ang dudumi pa maglaro. This is pure showbiz. Azkals = all bark but where's the bite??? The name itself is not as respectable. We pride our national football team with a stray dog??? And one more thing - basketball and football could and should coexist. Sa mga sumusunod diyan sa bandwagon, these so called so-so football fans/supporters/experts, stop comparing football with basketball. Basketball has it's place, and so football is!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558039822687564906.post-260054823951060662011-05-27T07:16:33.326+02:002011-05-27T07:16:33.326+02:00To drum up support for football in this basketball...To drum up support for football in this basketball-crazed country.

Photo shooting there, mall tour here, clinic there, autograph signing here, bonding from one province to the next!!! There is nothing like that here in Europe when it comes to the national team, specially if they are preparing for a tournament. The management is handling and presenting the players like superstars. This has nothing to do with the football at all. What have they achieved till now??? Nothing really yet if one would consider the seriousness of the sport "football". All what the management have achieve at the moment is popularizing the players not the sport football. This is showbizz. Here in Europe if the team is preparing for a tournament they will have a trainings camp, stay in one place, concentrate on the training and improve their tactics and skills. And to think they are already cream of the crop. Have been playing football since their youths and been trained from top trainers. Look what these Azkals are doing, roaming around checking in expensive resorts, shaking hands and signing autograms, cutting ribbons etc. which has nothing to do with footbal anymore but showbizz. <br /><br />It would be better if you would stay on the ground and stop floating and acting like superstars just after a very thin success (if one can call it already success) <br />over MONGOLIA and MYANMAR. Try to be "humble" and not "hambog".<br /><br />On top of that, this roaming around the country cost a lot of money. Who financed all these expenses? Mr. Palami? It all ends up the same, we Filipinos are good in showing up and unwise usage of money.<br /><br />The way it looks at the moment Philippine Football is more of a circus rather than a sport art. <br /><br />Still I wish you luck and hope that the Azkals and its management will put it's feet back on the ground.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558039822687564906.post-18582329050004001822011-05-26T07:55:46.835+02:002011-05-26T07:55:46.835+02:00they just don't want any person to follow them...they just don't want any person to follow them around, take their pictures, ask them a bunch of already-answered questions, etc... if you're not a person, you have the right to complain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558039822687564906.post-38276673987827487172011-05-26T07:53:27.402+02:002011-05-26T07:53:27.402+02:00hmmm.. i wonder what the mall tour + autograph sig...hmmm.. i wonder what the mall tour + autograph signing is for.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558039822687564906.post-57065788808162662352011-05-26T07:52:30.690+02:002011-05-26T07:52:30.690+02:00bitter! lolzbitter! lolzAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
