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.

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.
