CFA and glen knew better than to risk the NT team players to injury in, again, an exibition game.<br><br>many of those who played were on the original list. the CFA, majority of whom are coaches and managers (fortunately), also recognizes the authority of any coach to select the final list of players. with the list of nominees as a guide, glen picked the cebu team who could serve best the purpose of the exibition match - players who play relatively clean and understands his plays. not players who think they are better, not players who demand that they be picked or else they will critize everyone in all the online football forums they can post in.<br><br>QCU organized the tournament and spent for the exibition match. thus, i don't find anything wrong for them to arrange a pick-up game between themselves and the NT. you don't see other clubs and schools complaining why they weren't part of the football clinic held in lapu-lapu. people knew the hectic and short schedule of the team, thus it wasn't a big deal for them. only the ill-informed would'nt understand.<br><br>in the future, we may have for ourselves a regular CFA players pool who practices and plays regulary. by that time, we can easily form a well prepared selection for matches such as these. there will be other NT visits, there will be other opportunities.ronaldonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12569043.post-7982128201115980622008-05-10T22:59:24.000+08:002008-05-10T22:59:24.000+08:00Just a quick question.
