How is Philippine Football?

after the philippine national team thrashed timor 7-0 i went home to get some FutKal work done.

as i was doing my research, i came across this very interesting article by christian soler.. you can read the whole article here..

but i did get the quotes which i really liked.

The Hard Fall

"Many people have this notion that the sport never gained popularity in the country. Contrary to that belief, the Philippines actually has a proud footballing tradition. "

"Something’s gotta be done to fix up this mess. Football, whether we like it or not, is the way of the world. It would be so stupid of us not to appreciate the game and help boost its image. That’s the first step we have to take in order to start winning again."

i suggest reading the article.. it's pretty interesting.

but after today.. i'm telling yah christian.. good things are up ahead =)

cheers!

the nakata effect

after the Hidetoshi's attendance on the premier Sipa Sa Masa clinic, we've received our share of publicity. i guess that is one thing an icon can do. sweeet...

i was literally jumping around last Monday when i found out that Hidetoshi's "low-key" visit made it to the front page of PDI. i have to admit though that FutKal was not the center piece of this article.. but it's alright.. the most important thing is FOOTBALL is the center-piece.. and that is what counts... sweeet...

(ok.. i'm gona end each paragraph with sweeet..)

jumping around because of that article.. imagine my heartbeat when i saw this.. not quite as close to the frontpage (A22 to be specific!) but heck! a feature on our efforts.

to PDI.. you rock! and everyone who's been supporting us.. every bit of mention of FutKal is really helpful. and we greatly appreciate it! let's spread the word.

that's how we can make this work.. let's create awareness that there is FutKal taking to promote football to those who didn't think they can play it.

this is our game! let's spread the word..

cheers!

p.s. what's next?? well we're working on it.. but here's a hint.. ;)
