March 5, 2006 -- Philippines Men’s National Team Head Coach Aris Caslib has named 31 players to the training camp roster that will begin workouts March 6 at the PhilSports Complex in Pasig City, Metro Manila.

Fourteen players who where on the U-23 Men’s National Team roster that played in the SEA Games recently have been called into the camp, including striker Phil Younghusband, who scored two goals in the tournament.

Philippines’ striker Freddy Gonzalez returns to the fold after missing Tiger Cup 2004 that was co-hosted by Malaysia & Vietnam. Gonzalez, who had one goal in four games played in Tiger Cup 2002, became the first player in MNT history to play professionally in Vietnam when he signed for Dong An Bank of the V-League last 2003.

Caslib has called four goalkeepers into camp, including Eduard Sacapaño who played in the P. F. F. Men's Open National Finals 2006 for NCR. Michael Casas, Jonas Valenzuela and Ref Cuaresma round out the four.

The Philippines was drawn into Group A for the 2006 AFC Challenge Cup along with India, Chinese Taipei, and Afghanistan.

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."
