2007 Football awards

The year's biggest achiever was the Cebu City team, manned by players from Don Bosco College, Sacred Heart School-Jesuit, Springdale, Cebu International School, Center for International Education, for winning the POF Olympic Festival football crown.

Not only did they win it and went undefeated, they win it in style.

Other awards.

Comeback of the year: USJ-R won their fifth Cesafi title, after letting UV and USC have the crown in 2005 and 2006.

Disappearing act of the year goes to the Cebu Football Association. No Aboitiz age groups, no Aboitiz Men's Open, no election, no president, no football.

Jonathan Maximo started his term on a blaze, took local football to its pinnacle and went out...

What was that all about award: UV fielded ineligible players in the Cesafi,  Cesafi disqualified the players. UV appealed, lost the appeal and had all their games cancelled.

White elephant award. 100 years of football in the country and all we can proudly point to is a $500,000 worth edifice.

KSP of the year: BJS and pseudo BJS posters in the chat box. Get a life.

This year, Cebu football is sure to pick up a notch, what with the year before as a yardstick.

If it doesn't, see you in the beach and let's pick up beach volleyball

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."
