THE Futbol Sociedad de Leyte lady booters, competing in the Cebu Inter Club National Invitational Tournament to test their mettle, found themselves on the receiving end of a 7-0 bashing by Queen City United in the opener yesterday at the University of San Carlos-Technological Center (USC-TC).

“If they want experience, this is the right way to gain experience,” said an observer of the Leyte team, composed mainly of high-school players from Ormoc National High School and University of the Philippines-Tacloban.

The Men’s opener was just as lopsided as Queen City defeated FSL, 6-0.
Against the QCU, composed of USC alumni and the forerunners of ladies football in Cebu, the action was predictably kept on the Leyte side.

Rhodora Toledo sneaked in the first goal off Carmel Colina’s cross at the third minute, and at the 12th reversed roles as she fed Colina for an early 2-0 lead. Colina earlier earned a yellow card from Kurt Acre for excessive complaining of a non-call.

Another shot by Colina at the 15th sailed high, while Toledo missed a pointblank shot at the 21st.
USC keeper Iris Meca found herself with nothing to do, so she opted to clear the pebbles on her goal area, while engaging the crowd behind her in chitchat.

Toledo added another goal after getting past keeper Ma. Lourdes Leonila Rojas at the 34th before Katherine Bejec’s lob in the 39th made it 4-0.

Fresh legs meant more woes for the visitors, and substitute Elaine Macasero droved in the fifth goal three minutes into the second half before Ivy Bongcasan’s scored at the 54th and 56th minute.

Meanwhile, Dads United will take on QCU in the opener of the 38-Above division, while QCU faces Mulbachs and USC collides with the Cagayan team in the Ladies side.

In the Men’s Open, Aboitiz Cup champion Hiroshi FC will take on Don Bosco Alumni, while QC will face the USC varsity at the Sacred Heart School-Jesuit field.

The failed U23 experiment

THE only positive thing that we can take in that loss against Timor Leste was that the U23 squad looked good in blue. And Ebong, too. The Blue-Haired fanatic whose voice we all heard on TV was fantastic. The team? The result? To be perfectly blunt it was a scrappy game from a scrappy team that seemed to treat the SEAG as a vacation, or a chance to gain more Twitter followers. (Yey, I can tweet the team apology first!) Going into the match, almost every fan who paid attention knew that we needed to win. Unfortunately, it seemed the players were operating on a different mindset.

Mother Nature plays spoilsport

The heavy rains spoiled the debut of defending champions Don Bosco College yesterday, cutting short the match between DBC A(?) and Bright. Hopefully, it will be a sunny Sunday. P.S. It will be interesting to note, how DBC divided its teams for the U12.

A Pinoy played for Real Madrid? (updated)

Image
HERE'S an interesting photo submitted by Asian Football Confederation women's committee member Cristina Ramos. Its taken at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium and shows a gallery of the great players who played for Real Madrid. And guess where one of them is from? Jaron Genota said the only information he has managed to gather is that the player's name is Teus. I hope to get more information on this guy in the next few months. Ms. Ramos, who was also in the organizing committee of the Fifa U17 and U20 women's world cup, said the picture was part of Real Madrid's exhibit on the universality of their players. From Ms. Ramos, "Mike, the photo of the Filipino player was part of the display entitled "The Universality of our Players" in the Real Madrid museum in Bernabeu. It's funny that they acknowledged him but did not name him. Only those from countries which participated in the World Cup were named."
