Azkals shun friendly with crack Hungary

azkals have nothing to lose…

I dont know but I doubt such a match would actually materialize regardless of what palami says.  I think there was talk of a friendly match but somehow fell through.. palami sounds like he is sour-graping.  Anyhow, that’s mere speculation from me.  

Now, if indeed true, what an opportunity lost…  In england the lower tiered clubs would relish an opportunity to match against a top tier side in the fa cup.. I’m sure the azkals players would love the opportunity to have a match with a top tier national side. Azkals have nothing to lose, and so much to gain from such an opportunity.  (that’s why i doubt in the first place that hungary would agree to such a friendly with 147th ranked azkals in the first place).

I have to vent my anger at this nonsense statement though…

“It could be counterproductive for the camp that we will be holding in the Middle East. We want to build cohesion and gain confidence and it might be difficult to do that if we face Hungary,” said Palami.

hmm… maybe you should change the squad’s name from azkals to “female dogs” if your going to say something like that…  and someone should take the philippine flag from you!!!

ugh what BS, how else to build cohesion and confidence?  How can intensely preparing for a massive fixture like going against a 32nd rank nation be detrimental to cohesion and confidence?  Is the focus on football and improving the squad lost? Is the state of fitness of the azkals that bad??   Would a televized drubbing of  these “pretty boy” mestizos by hungary drive away the legions of female fans thus drive away sponsorship cash???   

Oh well I guess you do know they are indeed in a weak and fragile state now… you should have taken the match (if true) sandbagged expectations way way down by talking up hungary and european football… It wouldve made a 1-0 loss or draw look good.
