USC yanks title in San Roque

THE final day of the 2nd San Roque Football Fiesta offered more surprises, as the traditional powers in the Women's Open got booted out, while Dads United's unbeaten run in the 36-above category went to naught after crashing out of the semifinal round.

The University of San Carlos (USC) ruled the Women's Division after a hard-earned 1-0 win over Mulbachs FC. Roseton Bariñan, USC's latest addition from Davao, banged in the lone goal of the match for their close win.

Bariñan also earned the MVP honors for the team.

In the semifinals, USC scored an upset of sorts when it beat San Roque FC, 2-1, while Mulbachs finally scored a win over rival and defending champion Queen City United in the other semifinals via a shootout.

Meanwhile, the Don Bosco Alumni-Argentina also hacked out a masterful 1-0 win over Barili FC to bag the Men's Crown. Warlou Sabella scored the lone goal of the match from left flank, earning him the MVP honors in the division.

In the 36-above category, Queen City ended Dads United unbeaten run to arrange a titular showdown with their Team B, who booted out Hiroshi FC. Queen City's Bibo Castaños bagged the MVP.

On the other hand, after losing three of three finals last Saturday, Paref-Springdale finally salvaged two titles in the Players 10 and Players 8 division.

Sabin Veloso earned the P8 MVP after their shootout win together with teammates Mark Nacional, Ankelis Yu, Terence Colimenares, James Balao, Franceso Dino, Jon Josh Young, Aric Alcover and Enzo Ceniza.

Ceniza also played for the Players 10 champions, which defeated Pomeroy, 2-0, for the title.

Other members of the team are MVP awardee Pericles Dakay Jr, Anton Alvarez, Ijo Clarito, Raffy Lipardo, and Tonito Rafols.

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."
