Palaro update

The high school team has just defeated Davao, 2-1, to advance to the finals against West Visayas.  Barring any hitches from the officials, this could be an interesting final.

The elementary squad will play NCR again in the final, a team they beat 4-1, in their early meeting. Cebu City got to the final after the Pampanga squad failed to show up.

Congratulations Central Visayas (Cebu City-Don Bosco) Elementary Team and Coach J. Bono for winning the Gold in the Palaro twice in a row already. Along with the good showing of the Secondary Team, Cebu City is certainly becoming a new football power in the country.

it's actually 2 championships in 3 years for the elementary Don Bosco-led teams. DBTC-CVIRAA won in 2006 at Naga City, finished silver in 2007 gold again at Palawan 2008.

counting the 2007 POF U15 title, that's a grand slam of national titles for DBTC-led teams. back to back to back. we can now say that we are fast catching up with Iloilo.

and the good thing is - the players of these champion squads still has 4-5 years left to play in the age-group competitions.

BTW, many in the audience agreed that the officiating during the secondary finals was biased for WV. anyway, lets just hope to finish one rung higher next year.

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."
