CebuFa to punish DBYC

THE CEBU Football Association (CebuFA) is set to punish Don Bosco Youth Center (DBYC) for forfeiting its last two matches in the Aboitiz 15 Under Cup at the San Roque Parish football grounds.

Last Sunday, DBYC was supposed to play Cebu International School but failed to show up. A week before, it also did not show up for the game against FC Inter Cebu.

"I have asked Sherwin (Rodriguez of CebuFA) to make a referee's report of the forfeiture and we will forward it to the disciplinary committee for their possible sanctions against DBYC," Maximo said.

"It's also very unfair on the part of the other team, and the coaches has been informed about this (sanctions on forfeits) at the start of the tournament," Maximo said.

CIS was chasing Hiroshi FC for a semifinal spot in its Group and needed to bury DBYC by 23 goals to qualify. DBYC lost its first match 10-1 against Hiroshi and 7-1 against Springdale.

"It was a long shot for CIS, but the ball is round, anything can happen," he said.

Meanwhile, the CebuFA is also planning to join the football caravan organized by the Philippine Football Federation to support the national team in the Southeast Asian Games.

"I've been informed about it and about 10 to 15 persons have committed to join," Maximo said.

Aside from the Caravan, Paref-Springdale FC and Queen City United are also planning to send a delegation to the Seag.

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.

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."
