Milo Update

AFTER beating Paref-Springdale in the shootout, defending champion Don Bosco College will face off with Cebu City Central School for the Milo Olympics elementary football crown.

CCCS defeated Sacred Heart School-Jesuit, which earlier scored a 17-1 rout of USC-North, 3-2.

In the high school contest, Springdale, which defeated CIC-M, 9-0, will play DBC for a spot in the final, while SHS-J will play ANS in the other semifinal.

In their game against CIC-M, despite getting two ahead in the first six minutes on Miguel Arriola's shot at the third and Miles Chu's left-footed strike in the sixth and getting two more goals before the half, coach Mario Ceniza wasn't too impressed with his team.

They had inconsistent passing, while their finishing was way off the mark--missing simple goal mouth tap-ins thrice. (Of course, discounting TJ Matteo's powerful throwin that kissed the bar)

In the second half, they played better and Ceniza said (I was within ear shot) "You played as a team, not individuals) and Miko Garcia, with his quick first step of his turn (he should try for the 100 meter dash) scored thrice.

See you next Saturday.

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."
