RP meets Malaysia today
BACOLOD City – The Philippines will take on Malaysia today, in its final match in Group A of the 23rd Southeast Asian Games (Seag) football at the Panaad Park and Stadium.
The Azkals will be hoping to score a repeat of the '91 Seag, when they qualified for its first semifinal round, and with President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo expected to attend the game together with another 30,000 rabid fans expected, the team are expected to give it all.
Meanwhile, football fans in the rest of the country will have to pray hard that ABC will carry the game live, just as it did in the Philippines 4-2 win over Cambodia.
"We really don't know if we will be on live, in volleyball, we only learned that we will be live in the last second," one of the ABC crew said.
The Cambodia-RP game was aired live because sources say a group of fans paid P50,000 for it.
"It's a sad thing, I learned that we were on live TV after a group of fans paid for it," the Philippines team manager Vincent Santos said.
Meanwhile in yesterday's games, Indonesia blanked Laos, 4-0, to finish second in its group.
