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.

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.
