Men's Open

Again, Don Bosco Argentina ruled the division, after a shootout win over Queen City United.

I wasn't able to see much of the finals, but for me, one of the most exciting games was between CIS, a new entry, against Silliman, which, if I am not mistaken, had the country's former Numober one keeper, Ref Cuaresma (incidentally, he wasnt playing the keeper)

The highlight of the match was Oliver Colina's goal. Colina, who told me a day before that he wasn't playing per advice of a doctor, struck from way deep from the kick-in, stunning both the keeper and everybody else.

It may have been a fluke, but it wasn't, it wasn't the first time he did that. Too bad for them, they lost, 0-2, to Queen City in the semifinals, both goals scored by Ivan Dimco.

The failed U23 experiment

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.

Fair Play: The Devil's Advocate and CFA vs. CAFC

(This is my Fair Play column for Sun.Star Cebu on Feb. 6) I GOT an interesting e-mail the other day about the consequences for teams that withdraw from PFF-organized national tournaments and its corresponding sanctions. I guess, it’s time to play Devil’s Advocate. For PFF-organized events, there are four types of withdrawals—after confirming participation but before grouping or scheduling takes place, after regional finals but before grouping in nationals, after the grouping in the nationals, and in the course of the national competition.
