Any word on Angel's status for the match? The complexion of the match really did change when he was replaced by Araneta. One change I expect in our first eleven with Rob Gier coming to take his place along Aly, I see Lucena taking over De Jong's spot in the midfield. He excelled in this position during the Challenge Cup Qualifiers where he also played at RB.

i am new to the board, and i do enjoy reading the commentary. i am a football player and avid supporter of the beautiful game, and it is wonderful being part of this football-loving community of filipinos. who would have ever thought?
anyways, i clearly understand that the Azkals need time to gel, and we need to refrain from being overlycritical (is this even a word? lol) because this strong lineup does need more time together. once they do become cohesive as a unit, i can just imagine how wonderful they will be to watch.
although i grew up here in the U.S., i come from a football-loving family from Iloilo. my father is from LaPaz and was a member of the national team in the early 1960s. we understand that for logistics, the international matches need to be played in manila ... but in our hearts, we would rather see them played in Bacolod because football is THE game in the Western Visayas. regardless if the Azkals win or lose, football supporters will always watch the matches in that part of the country ... and they will watch it with fervor. my cousin recently said that having the matches in manila is kind of a bad deal because the supporters in that part of the country are just "jumping the bandwagon" ... they only watch if everybody else is there. they have no true love for the game like we do. we will always support the national team no matter what. i do hope, at least, that Rizal Stadium will have a decent crowd for the Nepal match. if the match were played in Bacolod, it would be packed ... rain or shine.
life is football. at least, in Iloilo, we think so.

life is football. at least, in Iloilo, we think so. I dont think its fare to say that. If futbol is a party, you are telling the rest of the country that Ilonggos are the only one that knows how to party. I like the idea that futbol is big in that part of the country but I hate it when you start saying that you are the only people who deserves futbol.
Back to topic
1 reason ticket sale may be low coz a lot of people think Nepal is weak team. What people dont know is, If Im not mistaken Nepal is the Highest ranking team we will be facing for last 10-20 years(Except for Kuwait & Vietnam). They are rank higher than Singapore & Indonesia. They are even ranked higher than India and Malaysia

Still no problem getting 5 tickets to any of the price categories. They were selling tickets at UFL opening on Saturday. I doubt that Rizal will be full on Tuesday.

Based from the information available on the Nepalese team, it looks like they're a force to be reckoned with at home but terrible on the road. This could be explained by the high altitude advantage they have playing in Kathmandu. Bolivia has a similar advantage allowing them to stay with and beat the likes of Brazil and Argentina. To show the contrast they drew 1-1 in their WC Qualifier home leg against Jordan but lost 9-nil in the away leg.
They are coached by former Spurs' and England player Graham Roberts. Player to watch is their young centre-back Rohit Chand who is being hyped to be in the eyes of big European clubs.
If we do play them again next year, it will be a more difficult match in Kathmandu. We should add major altitude training on our to do list.

yeah there's a reason why boxers especially pacquiao likes to train at high altitudes. para sa stamina.

But for the grandstand, may bayad po. And by the way, Panaad grandstand with roof has a capacity of 10k, siksikan 12k ... buo including those without roofing mga 20k, siksikan 26k. Im sure the games in Panaad will always be crowded. Last month po nag friendly game and Azkals vs Negros local team dun .... 7k people watched .... wala pang marketing yan. Kahit nagpabayad pa sila nun for Php100 do you think hindi magbabayad ang tao? What about those people from neighboring football loving provinces such as Cebu, Dumaguete and Iloilo? Do you think walang tao from those places who will pay more just to watch an international football match? I think Its not about the money. I think the point the guy from iloilo is saying is there will be more people who will watch a football match in that side even against weak teams because its football and its an international game. 2 months ago naglaro din ang Negros U18 against a Japan High School Team which luckily Negros team won 4-2 and Panaad was also jampacked. In Negros, its not the team who plays .... its the game that makes people come and watch. A football game in Bacolod is like a family picnic .... may nagdadala ng pagkain at beer.

I do not know if most of you noticed as well but I do not see any news about the Azkals' preparation against Nepal, is it because too early because the match is on Tuesday anyway or because the UFL just commenced or it just so happened.
But you know, I wish it was done on purpose by Weis and Palami to avoid the media so the players will be really focus and that familiarity with each other is being given effort especially to Cagara who just played the first time and Lucena/Mulders who hardly played for Weis and the team.
I believe they know they have to bounce back now that they gonna play before their avid countrymen. The Azkals as we know, always felt bad whenever they let down all Azkaleros.
Sorry for the ignorance, maybe some of you knows exactly what is happening.

Indeed, they've toned down the marketing for this match. There's hardly any public perception. I'd say people just don't know what this match against Nepal is all about, and that's a failure in marketing. But who knows? Maybe the Azkals hype machine is low on money. Or this is an intentional relative silence. Or perhaps the timing of the match was inconvenient for the average working pinoy. Whatever the case is, it's reflecting on the ticket sales. Nevertheless, I'm confident our loud and proud Azkaleros will cheer the team on more than sufficiently.
