Mizuno update

THE second edition of the Mizuno Football Fiesta Cebu is slated to take place in August, as agreed during the coaches meeting yesterday at the Banilad Town Center.

The tournament is set to open on Aug. 25-26 and wraps up in the next weekend on Sept. 1-2.

Organizers are, however, contemplating on condensing the four-day, two-weekend competition to three days, to accommodate the out-of-town teams. This, however, still needs to be finalized.

Last year, the tournament attracted 136 teams for its debut, with the teams coming from local football clubs, school-based teams and even foreign teams.

The tournament, organized by Mint Sportshop, the exclusive distributor of Mizuno products, will feature competitions in 13 divisions. These are the Players 6, 8 and 10, the Boys and Girls 12, 17 and 19, Boys 14, Ladies, Men’s and 36 and above age groups.

The Players 6-10 will have 12 minutes of game time with each team allowed to field in 7-9 players. The rest of the divisions will have 15 minutes with teams having 10-15 players.

Out of town teams are expected to take part in the tournament. Those who have expressed intent to compete are teams from San Carlos City and Dumaguete City.

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."
