I'm a football fan

My sister said being a fan makes one's life better. Yeah, that's right.

I have experienced that during the basketball tournament between Tiong San and ICCHS. It's nice to shout and release that tension and the bad energy. Hahahaha.

Anyway, I am also beginning to be a fan of football. This week Iloilo hosts the AFC Challenge Cup and I got the chance to watch the Philippine team during their practice at La Paz plaza and during the competition at Iloilo Sports Complex. The experience is great!

Philipines Vs. Brunei (May 13)
Philipines won with the score 1-0. Hay, the competition was terrible because a lot of Filipino players were injured. It's because of the heavy downpour. The slippery ground made the competition even more challenging. Anyway, a lot of Ilonggos braved the rain and cheered for our team. I was surprised that a lot of women are familiar with the players.... James, Phil and Neil. Duh? Who are they, anyway? It turned out these young football players are Fil-foreigners and they considered celebrities in their own right especially the Younghusbands(Phil and James) already had media exposures here in the Philippines and England. Whatever. Basta, I'm happy that Philippines won!

Philippines VS. Tajikistan(may 15)
My brother said Tajikisan was the champion last year, so this competition is quite difficult. Plus, the Phil. team got a penalty (red card) so they lacked one player. Whatever. I can't understand much of the football stuff eventhough this was our main focus in PE way back in college. It's already an achievement on the part of the Philippines to have a score of 0-0. I think we should thank the goalie, Neil, for doing a good job. What do you think?

Anyway, I just would like to thank my brother for pushing me to watch the game, rain or shine.
