CF Madrid too good for Philippine Azkals

bakit ini-idolized ng husto ang mga azkals na ito e puro talunan naman ito at saka halos mga mukhang hindi naman pilipino itong mga ito.dapat magtayo ng purebreed pilipino team na sasanayin ng husto at pupundohan ng husto ng gobyerno.huwag iyong puro talunan na mga azkal na hindi naman mukhang mga pinoy.

hahaha!!! kakatawa ka talagang bugok ka! di mo ba alam na yang mga sinasabi mong di mukhang pilipino ang nanguna , tumayo at lumaban sa ibang bansa para sa karangalan ng Pilipinas kahit walang tulong ng Gobyerno… eh ikaw ano ba nagawa mo para sa pilipinas ??? ugok !!! maligo ka nga ng kumukulong tubig para mag function yang utak mo! Pasalamat nga mga Pinoy kahit mga half Pinoy ang mga yan handa silang tumulong sa mga nangangailangan… eh kaw galing mo mamuna may naiabot ka ba doon sa mga kababayan mong nasalanta???? kung tutuusin di nila kelangan ang Pinas may mga club silang pinaglilingkuran pero willing sila magsakripisyo paroot parito para sa karangalan ng bansa kaya kayong mga utak bangag manahimik nalang kayo! tsAka iwas iwasan mo na pag singhot ng otot mo para di ka ganyan mag -isip! Tunay ka ngang Pilipino puro ka puna walang ka naman ginagawa para makatulong sa sarili mong bansa!

just so you know me mga mukhang Pilipino na ayaw na maging Pilipino ha ha … narinig mo na ba yung nag pa change of citizenship… so wala sa hitsura yan…Dapat skills ang binabatikos mo hindi looks

hahahaha di ako humahanga sa mga dayuhan FYI sakaling di mo alam mga Pinoy sila dahil di nila pwedi  irepresent ang Pilipinas kung di sila Pilipino… sabi sayo wag ka na suminghot ng otot mo eh lol

mukha ka sigurong unggoy noh?  kaya galit na galit ka sa azkals. :D

we really appreciate all the efforts of azkals, whether half-breed or pure filipinos, they are still like us. expectations may be high but we know, with hard work, you’re all gonna be on top! WE BELIEVE!!!

their games are so exciting, the crowd adds to the excitement

For the love of the game no matter what the outcome will be. Fight! Fight! Fight! Mabuhay Azkals, the Filipinos are behind you all the way, win or lose. One day maybe the Philippine Football will be competitive in the world of soccer.

mabuhay Azkals

hey. football teaches me that everything is not about winning. True Azkals fans know what I mean. 

a great game for a great cause! Using football as a tool for helping others is the best!

the team that played were not the Azkals. yes there were Azkals players, but the team should correctly be called UFL Alyanza, since the team is composed of UFL players mixed with Azkals regulars. i don’t think the full Azkals squad would’ve lost to that CF Madrid squad, especially seeing the goals conceded by Sacapano. Etheridge would’ve kept that scoreline 1-1. i did not see the first goal conceded, but the 2nd goal was a goalkeeping mistake. it was a simple lob without any force behind it. you could see the attacker aiming for a lob but Sacapano did not go back to his line. Opponents will always exploit Sacapano’s short height and aim for spots in the goal he cannot reach.

“Azkals too poor for the Spaniards” is the better appraisal because it is an honest journalisitic heading

Will any Azkals Fanatic please count and list on this forum the number of times this half-breed team of “Pinoys” won. I remember only one time. But their popularity especially to the gullible and naive is supported by colonial minded media that portray the white race as always superior to the brown Filipino race.

I am neither xenophobic nor racist but I believe the Azkals are intruding into Filipino sports. Most of the Azkals have displaced and alienated our very brown brothers in far flung islands, mountains, rivers, and fields who need only to to be tapped and harnessed and represent pure Filipino muscle in football. One need not be handsome nor smart to run, kick and make a goal but Philippine sports authorities believe otherwise.

I sold a lot of Tshirts with an “ASSKALS” print. They sold like hotcakes.

Too good????? are the azkals really that good???? LOL!!!!! Puto media hype lang ata sila magaling!!!!

i agree!!!!

then build your own team!!! represent the Philippines and win!!! di puro satsat… Pinoy nga naman. 

at ikaw saan ka magaling???

Inggit??? why??? for me, nakikita kasi ng mas nakararami that they are not just good looking …for me, as a fan ,di kagwapuhan ng azkals ang nakikita ko kundi ang nako-contribute nila sa Pilipinas. kahit di sila pure filipino may ginagawa sila para sa bansa at yon ang importante. kahit sino naman o kahit anong sports di naman pweding ikaw nalang palagi ang mananalo…maaaring di pa ngayon but I believe na darating din ang araw ng tagumpay! di ka pinipilit na maniwala sa kakayahan nila pero wala ka karapatan na husgahan sila lalo na kung ikaw ay walang ginagawang paraan para maka contribute sa ikabubuti ng iyong sariling bansa.Imagine sila nga na di mo tinuturing na pinoy eh nagsasakripisyo para sa Pilipinas, di ba dapat ikaw na PURE na PINOy ang nangunguna na dapat na gumagawa non? ika nga gawin mo muna yung part mo as a filipino bago mo intindihin ang ginagawa ng ibang tao… ok??? 

Azkals have so far to go as a team.  They do not move as a team, except in the pre-game warm-ups.  They do not play as a team, with a lot of major players missing like Niel Ethridge the goalie. Our local goalies are too small or too slow.  Caligdong is too old and too small and he made several mistakes.  Our players are not strong enough or good enough except maybe 3 or 4.  We need 10 more players like the Younghusbands to have any chance of making it in international tournaments but we need to develop them locally, not getting more imports cuz it only limits our development in the sport.  Even our football fans are not as organized or knowledgeable as football fans in Korea, Japan or Thailand.  But then the Azcals is only very young as an organization and I am glad they are making a decent effort.  Go Azcals!  Keep working hard.

Please check the spelling of Azkals. Footbal fans in the Philippines are still young too, so please do not compare them to Korea, Japan or Thailand. We should be proud of our own.

Agree. Being Pinoy is not by blood. I challenge them (those who criticized the Azkals players who is half or mixed blood) if they have 100 percent Filipino blood. The ture Pinoy is measured of your good contribution to the country. That’s the new definition of citizenship. They should wake up! Philippines is not a secluded place. We are now global.

instead of downgrading others why don’t you support the best in the person. it will make them good than harm. unless you hate the world, that’s another story.

Racism is in the mind. The “inferiority” is in the mind. If you believe on your own self then “colors” has no other meaning. True Filipino citizens are those people contributing good for the country (either sports, politics, economics social). Filipino citizenship does’nt define by color or blood. Sports can be developed and it’s a process. If they don’t meet your expectations then you support them to meet your expectations. If not, then you better play football as well or make your own team in your own locality and be the national team if you meet the qualifications.

Sure I agree but remember, the Azkals exist to compete in international tournaments so it is important to know what the standard of competition is.  I am just pointing out we have to bridge that gap if we are to have any chance of making a name for ourselves in the football world.  I go to their games but we need to see improvement if we are to sustain more interest growth.  The last game with Spain was a step backward although it was nice to see some new faces and potential.  Proud?  I think the Azkals need to earn the nation’s pride by winning more games.  It’s not gonna do it prancing around like male models, that’s for sure.  

ang pagkapanalo sa laro ay hindi sukatan ng kagalingan para sila ay hangaan. bonus na lang yon kung mananalo tayo. ang football ay sukatan ng determinasyon at pagkakaisa. maglaro ka nga ng football para maintindihan mo.

winning the hearts of the Filipino people is not just by winning the game. sports or football is a choice not a requirement for you to be “liked”. being or acting like a models are not bad. it’s not their fault to be “good looking”. modeling to be proud of the country is much more in the Azkals and I could see it rather than what you are seeing or “assuming”. besides if they are not good in football, do you think they can sustain the enthusiasm of football fans in the Philippines? when they started to play football I am sure they knew the standard.

e ano naman kung hindi sila mukhang filipino? they have filipino blood so why discriminate against them? and mind you, sa game na ito naglaro din ang mga local players natin.. nanood ka ba ng game? ikaw ang talunan…

so sinisisi mo ang mga fil-foreigners dahil walang chance na binibigay sa mga local nating players? sisihin mo yung mga namumuno sa football dito dati na hindi namuno ng ayos..wala tayong grassroots program and plans for the younger football players until RECENTLY..  kung mga local players lang ilalaban natin lalong walang mangyayari dahil hindi nila kakayanin ang level ng competition ng mga players ng ibang bansa.. the best we can do for now is field the fil-foreigners because for now, they are still the better players.. once na mag improve na ang local league dito sa atin, dun na natin siguro pwedeng ilaban yung “pure-filipino” team na gusto mo…

korek.. gusto kasi ng iba na instant winners agad tayo kasi may funding at support na binibigay.. it’s a long process.. 

That’s precisely my point: sports authorities who are paid with people’s tax money should be the ones to start forming a new purely Filipino football team and bury the Azkals for good.

and why bury the azkals? don’t you think they deserve credit from us filipinos baka nakakalimutan mo Pedro, the azkals lang naman ang bumuhay muli ng football sa Pilipinas.. maliban nalang kung may alam ka pang iba.

Wrong analysis 1laila. Hindi ang Azkals ang bumuhay sa Pinas football. It’s colonial media who hyped them as if they were heroes- talunan naman. Without media coverage, Azkals are worth little to inspire Football in the Philippines. Pacquiao always wins kaya idolized but the Azkals hardly win and they get equal media coverage. Example they are being interviewed not about Philippine sports particularly football, but because they want to project their love of our country being half-pinoys. But in sports, like life, one doesn’t live on “Love” alone. The solution is really to replace them now, not later, with pure-blooded Pinoys from every corner of our 7000+ islands. Government should allocate budget for their training until they get enough muscle and mastery of the sports. Let the Azkals get to Showbiz where they have talents.

well kung yan ang palagay mo eh nasa sayo yon pero di mo maipagkakaila na dahil sa kanila kaya may ibinalita ang media about football .at isa pa hindi porket natalo ka sa laro or sa anumang klase ng sport eh loser ka na ..ang totoong tagumpay nasusukat kung pano ka bumangon pagkatapos mong madapa at isa pa ang Azkals noong di pa sila sikat  nagsakripisyo muna bago nila nakamit ang suporta ng gobyerno.. bago nila naranasan kung ano meron sila ngayon. Sa dami ng Problema sa pinas uunahin paba ng gobyerno gastusan yang gusto mong team..tsaka tumutulong naman ang ibang member ng azkals na makapag build ng sinasabi mong team ah, may mga program sila na nag i-encourage sa mga bata to play football sa Pilipinas incase na di mo nabalitaan. at isa pa kahit maglibot ka sa buong Pinas at kumuha ka ng mga players di mo rin masasabi na mananalo sila sa bawat laban na haharapin nila .at di yon pwedi na instantly eh magagaling na kaagad ang mga yon. halerr kung nag- iisp ka sana … maaaring dumating ang panahon na yan pero di pa ngayon wala pa masyado knowledge ang mga local about the sports aminin man natin o hindi kelangan pa natin ang mga half-pinoy footballers. ang problema kasi sa ibang mga Pinoy mayayabang akala nila dahil pumasok sa utak nila eh pwedi ng gawin nang ganun ganun nalang. parang magic na pagkumpas dyaran dyan na sa harap mo ang bagay na gusto mo…. mga bangag lang nag -iisip ng ganun…

Ang importante kung ano na ko-contribute nila sa Pilipinas at kung papipiliin ako kung sino dapat ang titingalain ng mag anak ko I’ll stick to Azkals hindi sa mga nagmamarunong na mga Pinoy na waala naman naitutulong sa bayan. at isa pa di lang mga magagandang lalaki ang Azkals sila din yong totoong may malasakit sa kapwa nila pilipino, sila ang totoong may pusong pinoy hindi yong mga tao na magagaling lang mamuna at puno ng hangin ang utak!

Ang dami rito akala nila purong Pinoy sila kaya ang tapang mangutya sa mga half-Pinoy o Fil-Foreigner dahil isang magulang ng mga iyon ay foreigner. Pero yung mga galit sa Fil-Foreigner, half-Pinoy rin, kasi ang isang magulang nila ay talangka… kaya half-crab, half-Pinoy rin sila. Pwede rin, half-alimango, half-alimasag, half-lobster.

That’s easy for you to say than done. I am fan of Azkals and I support them not because they always win the game. I am proud of them because I like football and I play football and they represent the country. To think of always “winning” to be liken by the fans has a low self steem. Boxing is different from football. Pacquiao is doing it alone not as a team. Pacquiao has a talent, skill and a special gift from God. In football, you have to believe on the capacity of the inidividual players and the team. Also recognize the talents and skills of players of another country or another team. pedronimo, why don’t you enjoy watching or playing football rather than thinking about those negative things that divide rather than uniting us.

korek,  pedronimo has a good point there about tapping into our own breed talent resource in the country. But 1alila and leobsky also gave couple good pointers as well

Im not a football fan though i do watch the game at time. Football is still a baby sport for us compared to our illustrous basketball and boxing. and since it is still a new sport here, we may need to ask some other ppls to get their feedbacks and who are well versed in this sport than us., You got nothing to lose anyway right?

How about getting David Beckham to post his comment here? lol

I respect your opinion loobsky. However, the basic difference between my comments and yours is that you admit you are an Azkal fan. Samakatuwid biased na ang sinasabe mo dito, short of blind fanaticism. Whereas ako, I am neither a fan nor a personal or racist basher but a neutral tax-paying Pinoy who writes only for the good of our country;s sport, Besides, you said little to rebut my suggestions to form a new breed of full-blooded Pinoy Azkals.

Mr. Pedronimo: How do you define “blind fanaticism”? You have no right to define me as that because you don’t know about me. You don’t even know what is football. Yes, I am bias. There is no such person as neutral. Everyone is bias to what we believe in. I am bias because I am playing football. How about you? You said you are neutral because maybe you don’t play football. I pay my tax too. That’s 3,000 pesos a month. But government doesnt own the game. During SEA games football team expenses were paid by a businessman and the sponsor. The PFF paid one million for the use of Rizal Stadium during the friendly game of AZKALS vs LA Galaxy. Your negative and destructive comments has no real contribution for the development of football in the Philippines. What you said to form a new breed of full-blooded Pinoy is already started by the Younghusband brothers. They have football academy. Besides, there is no such thing as 100 percent Pinoy blooded. That’s a myth and misleading. You have to correct that and accept it as a reality. Are you sure you have 100 percent Filipino blood? Hindi ka nga makapagsulat ng diretsong wikang Pilipino.

I hope to see inputs from bloggers like that malaysai blogger ( i forgot his id).  He seems to know about this sport well and his input is quite impressive.

One thing i observed, most of his postings, he encouraged even when our team were badly defeated specially in the recent sea games.and yet he isnt a Filipino.

Dear Mr. Leobsky,

Puede rin naman akong sumulat sa wikang pambansa natin, kaya lang sa column na ito ay karamihan ng mga commentaryo ay sa English. Kaya sisusubukan ko rin sumunod at isulat and ang aking opinyon sa.tamang English grammar, o kaya sa Taglish, hindi gaya ng English mo, ginagamit mo noun na “bias” pero dapat past participle adjective “biased”. Moreover, you wrote (1) “…negative and.destructive comments HAS (should be “have” no real contribution” (2) “…they have (a) football academy (you missed a very important article “a”)  (3) “…accept it a A reality (delete “a” because reality is a non-count noun, i.e. rice, sugar, mediocrity- which are never preceded by “a”)

The bottom line is: my Taglish has much more communicative value than your English of broken grammar. Yes, I may not know much about you but after reading your response I know now that you write English that leaves a lot to be desired..

Pedro wag po tayo masyadong nega di naman inaalis ang mga pure blooded pinoys na sinasabi nyo ..kung may mga foreign based player man tayo para yon sa ikabubuti ng team. di ba yong mga magagaling na pure pinoy kasali din naman sa team? maybe yong mga gusto nyo maglaro o maisali sa team e kailangan pa ng improvement . Di rin naman ako football player pero naiintindihan ko kung bakit kailangan natin yong mga half pinoy’s. tingnan mo nangyari sa  Air Force and CFIM 0-10 di ba mas malala. kung talagang concerned ka for the good of your country stop being racist tanggapin mo yong mga bagay namakakatulong sa sarili mong bansa at kailan pa naging mabuti ang pagiging racist para sa isang bansa???

Simple physics and logic lang: as long as these half-breed Pinoys are lording it over the Azkals, walang lugar or slot yung mga tunay na Pinoy (from far flunf islanf, mountains, and the Metropolis) to get into the team. That’s a fact.  Di bale sana if these imports have brought to Pinas some glory from their consistent triumphs, eh wala naman kundi panay losses.  And you say I am racist? I am pro-Pinoy not anti-white people.

bago palang umuusbong ang football sa Pilipinas Pedro, di mo nga alam kung ang balita about azkals e nakakarating dun sa ibang sulok ng Pilipinas lalo na sa mga lugar na walang kureyente di kasalanan ng mga half breed pinoys yun. nasa loob yon community kung gusto nila mag form ng football team. di naman pwedi na marunong kalang sumipa e pwedi ka na sa National team masyado naman sarado isip mo. sa tingin mo kung di dahil sa mga half breed pinoys nayan sisikat ang azkals? may media na magkaka interes mag-balita about football sa Pinas? maging totoo ka sa sarili mo wag ka ipokrito lahat tayo alam natin na di pa ngayon ang panahon para sa mga pure pinoys . at kung talagang concerned ka e kumbinsihin mo mga opisyales dyan sa lugar nyo then bring the best player para mag try out sa azkals kasi kahit mga half pinoy ang mga yan nag tryout din naman muna sila bago sila nakapasok sa team at sinabak sa laban.

Di po kasalanan ng isang tao ang pagiging gwapo maaring binigay ng Diyos yon sa kanila kasi deserving sila, at wag nyo po ipagmamalaki na nagbabayad kayo ng buwis dahil kung tutuusin mas malaki ang kontribusyon ng mga OFW sa ekonomiya ng bansang Pilipinas lahat ng Pilipino alam yan. tapos!

I dont think pedronimo is racist, No he isnt, he just merely stating his suggestion that perhaps there are capable talents in the country who arent being scouted out yet which i also think its a good suggestion from pedronimo. and i also find that having these foreign fili players in the team is good as well. I hope the grassroot development will be successful,in your country cos this is where i foresee the mainstream of the future team besides foreign filis as well.
We were blessed in our successful grassroot programme because of  one man who showed us and he is Mr Frank Lord who once who in charge of our national team and he was bold enough to introduce young bloods into the senior squad and he emphasied on young talents, Mr Frank Lord later returned to England and worked for English club like Manchester United as a scout  but he inparted his rich knowledge and expertise to us here specially to able to spot young talents and making them into potential football players, That is why i always belives in the litlle ones,, Never doubt your little ones in your country, they are the gems the unpolished diamonds that will one day make everyone of you proud , God bless Philippines and keep on playing the beautiful game.

My stand is: as long as those white Azkals are squatting there, no true brown Pinoy can make “singit” in our Philippine National Football Team. Siyempre government and media should do their role. Scout for Pinoy talents – in stead of rely conveniently on imports – harness and train these Pinoys even if it takes forever.. At least they are Pinoys, win or lose.

Look, ang focus ngayon ng media is still on the present breed of Azkals, in stead of train their cameras to distant places, interview young potentials, make them feel important while government can provide incentives or scholarships to poor but deserving football athletes. Is this happening? No, because nandiyan pa kasi ang mga Azkals whose personalities, in stead of talents, are being exploited by colonial media.

How would you feel kung si Manny Pacquiao is not Pinoy-born but half-Bitoy pala? And how come Efren Bata Reyes and Django can make you proud with their brown complexion? .I repeat, I am not racist, I am not anti-white, I am pro-Pinoy.

nandito ka na naman peteryang puro patutsyada!!!! 

type in english pls,

peteryang47, please do continue with your postings here, I dont see any of your postings are insulting and its more of encouragements towards us, For a malaysian, you are more filipino than some of us here

Just ignore pedrongbata He is the one who actually insult our own pinoys, specially wiht his postings on the half filipinos in the Azkal team.

Kaya tayo hindi aasenso dahil mga taong kagaya mo panay puri ng foreigner.  Paano maging pinoy yang si peteryang47?  Malaysian na nga e gusto mo pang maging filipino…….pare, huwag kang magpadala sa mga patutsyada sa mga foreigners.  Nag pa praktis lang yan si peteryang47 ng english nya……

Una hihingi ako ng tawad sayo pedrong bata,  Na nagalit ikaw sa mga comment ko.
Hindi ko pinapangarap na maging pinoy dahil, pinagmalaki ko ang pinanggalingan ko. Ang gusto ko lang dito na mailbahagi at matoto sa alro ng football sa philipinas. .Nainteres ako at malalaman galing sa bansang pinas, dahil football ay magandang laro na nagkasundo ang ibat ibang lahi kahit pa man iba iba ang kulay.
Ano pa kung tayo ay mgkapitbahay gusto ko namg magkasundo. Para di ka magagalit na sa akin, ano gusto mo, hihinto ako sa pag komento? maraming salamat sayo ginoong pedrong bata. Happy new year sayo at sa pamilya mo…… God bless.
