Only Option Left for the Azkals : WIN ~ Philippine Azkals Online Check out this article by Ryan Fenix, where he shows us the accurate standing and what the Azkals needs most...and that is a WIN !

After winning over Mongolia Blue Wolves with an aggregate score of 3-2, the Philippine Azkals were able to join the group stage of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Challenge Cup where they will play against Myanmar, Palestine and Bangladesh. The first game against Myanmar was yesterday, March 21st and fans were totally disappointed when it was not aired live so they had to make do with getting the latest information over Twitter. At least the tweets showed the updates though as Dyan Castillejo tweeted it was kind hard for them too since internet was not working that well. The one thing that was a problem in Mongolia that resulted in having a winter team wear for Azkals was not a problem in Myanmar since we almost have the same weather. The absence of Neil Etheridge was not felt in Myanmar but it certainly made you want to see him in action again. For a comprehensive report and analysis of the game, please see other sources such as Craig Burrows and Ron Moore's PinoyFootball...

Azkals win on 3-2 aggregate score, advance to meet Myanmar By Odi M. de Guzman, GMA News 03/15/2011 | 02:54 PM The stingy Azkals defense came into play in the second half as they denied Mongolia any more goals to seal their advance in this pre-qualifying round where they go up against Myanmar next on March 21. Despite the 1-2 loss to Mongolia Tuesday in the 2nd leg of their AFC Challenge Cup pre-qualifying match in freezing Ulan Bator, the Azkals enjoyed an aggregate 3-2 lead courtesy of their 2-0 win during the 1st leg in Bacolod last month. The aggregate lead was enough to get the job done for the Azkals to advance. They will be playing Myanmar next. At the end of the first half, the Azkals trailed Mongolia's Blue Wolves 1-2 in the 2nd leg of their 2012 AFC Challenge Cup pre-qualifying match in Ulan Bator, Mongolia. Despite the freezing temperature, the Azkals - came out smoking as James Younghusband scored at the three-minute mark but the Blue Wolves equalized righ...

Azkals lose to Mongolia but advance to AFC qualifiers - INQUIRER.net, Philippine News for Filipinos

Image Source: Life's My Trip Despite the very strong earthquake in Japan that destroyed lives and infrastructure, the Filipinos are still as focused as ever with the second leg of the AFC Challenge Cup where the Philippine National football team duels with Mongolia Blue Wolves. Fans were worried about the situation of the Azkals especially because they were in Japan when the earthquake occurred. It’s a good thing that members of Azkals also kept Filipinos informed with their situation and continuously tweeted updates. Simon Greatwich and Jason Sabio were not able to join them in Japan but had to make do with sleeping at the airport. The trip to Mongolia took longer than the usual travel time, almost 24 hours, since the major earthquake caused a big disruption in transportation services. Finally, around 4am Sunday the Azkals arrived Ulan Bator and met a chilling response. Not from the fans but from the Mongolian climate which was around -20 degrees Celsius. Mongolia’s temperature wa...

Nothing could make Filipinos than to see one of our own win in any sport or event. Last night Filipinos showed their support to the Philippines National Football Team better known as the AZKALS. When I arrived home, my son was trying on his new school uniforms , last October I blogged about getting a new pair of pants, this time around I had to get him two school polos because 2 of his old ones (which btw was made for him last April). He was trying it on at home because he just asked his uncle to get it for him since he was waiting for the football game between Azkals and Mongolia’s Blue Wolves to begin. Everybody was on their seats waiting; I don’t think they even checked on the news channel to get the latest update. The problem with me is that I am a pretty noisy when I watch, whether it be basketball, soccer or baseball or volleyball. So you can just imagine the kids looking at me every time I would shriek each time they missed a goal or something else happening. But the wors...
