One way to look at McMenemy and Weiss is in terms of approach. McMenemy's approach was effectiveness over the short term, to get quick results. He adopted his formation, system and/or style of play to the players he had at hand, based on his assessment of their strengths and weaknesses. This is a pragmatic approach and could be effective in certain situations. Weiss approach is more in a long term perspective. He has a system and style of play in mind that he wishes for the team to develop. He then tries to get the available players he has at his disposal to learn to play to that system and then also look for other players good enough to play that system and style. Notice that he is still on the lookout for prospective players. Having established this system and style will later on facilitate the work of the coaches and officials because this helps narrow down the types of players they need to scout and recruit in the future. This also helps set the blueprint for how youth and grassroots coaching and training is standardized nationwide so that local and homegrown players are developed with the skills, ability and intelligence to play the style and system used by our NT (I am assuming of course that PFF has this in their strategic blueprint, otherwise what's the point of developing a particular style or system of play for the NT if our grassroots and youth development programs won't train our young players to have the technical skill and ability to play the system envisioned for our NT). Note how there is reference to the Brazilian way of playing, the Spanish way with the ball always on the ground, the German way, Argentinian with their obsession with the importance of the enganche, etc...This is why top NTs do very well even if their players don't play in the same clubs/teams. It is all a matter of the coach selecting and placing the right players in the right position, then with a little tweaking and despite limited practice time can get them to play as if they have been playing together in the same team for several seasons. That's why some really good players don't get picked because the coach feels he won't fit the system and it would be impractical to change the system and style of play radically just to accommodate a certain player. The key here is to get players to play in the NT the same way they do in their clubs, so that teamwork and cohesion is more quickly achieved. So question is, are we now at a stage where we can adopt the Weiss approach with its accompanying "birth pains?" Or should we first take the pragmatic approach of McMenemy and safely consolidate some positive results and wins to further solidify football's growing popularity? For me, my view with any argument is that the answer usually lies in between the two contrasting points on the issue. By the way, nice thread you started here Strikerbon. Looking forward to some of the valuable insights and comments of the other regulars. nice especially when you emphasize the grassroot program...that is if PFF would copy weiss strategy...... English and german coach to me can not be together because of the history...specifically in football they have each other pride....but if they set aside their I think it will be great.

we need a formidable pitcher lincecum and espineli can be the best bet......and we need an international coach (either cuban, japanese or american), with a complete staff, (pitching, batting, body conditioning ) coaches....... unlike in football we dont have much players abroad....we need to train more the players base here. jpmanahan if your assumption of grouping is true.....hmmm chinese-taipe is a formidable team, i guess we can beat new zealand and thailand.

The Philippines has been invited by Major League Baseball (MLB) to participate in the qualifying tournament for the 2013 World Baseball Classic (WBC).
The quadrennial event is an international baseball tournament sanctioned by the International Baseball Federation (IBAF) where the world's best sluggers, including Major League players, are representing their home countries.
In a press release published on MLB.com, the Philippines has been invited in the qualifying tournament that will take place next year with the venue still being determined.
The Philippines - along with Brazil, Canada, Chinese Taipei, Colombia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Great Britain, Israel, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Panama, South Africa, Spain and Thailand - were selected by a committee made up of the world's baseball stakeholders.
Canada, Chinese Taipei, Panama and South Africa had participated in the 2009 edition of the games won by Japan but was relegated to the qualifying round after a winless campaign two years ago.
The teams will be divided into four pools which will play in a six-game modified double elimination format. The groupings will be based on geographical location, competitive balance and regional rivalries.
The four winners will join two-time defending champion Japan, Australia, China, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Italy, Korea, Mexico, the Netherlands, Puerto Rico, United States and Venezuela, which have already gained automatic berths after respectable finishes in the 2009 edition.
The qualifying tournament is in line with the WBC's expansion of the tournament from 16 to 28 teams.
"Growing the game of baseball around the globe is the primary objective of the (WBC). By expanding the competitive field of the 2013 tournament, we are demonstrating our commitment to this goal and reinforcing that the (WBC) is the premier showcase of baseball around the globe," said MLB commissioner Bud Selig in a statement.
"The tournament is a unique experience for fans to witness the excitement of this great game and I encourage organizations around the world to bid for the chance to host this wonderful baseball event," he added.
Bring back PHL's glory days Philippine Amateur Baseball Association (PABA) president Hector Navasero was elated with the invitation.
"We hope that we can form a competitive team for this prestigious tournament. I'm hoping that our participation will bring back the glory of the Philippine baseball," said Navasero.
He said that he had received MLB's letter inquiring about the country's capability of forming a team for the WBC.
Some professional players in the MLB have Filipino blood and they can play for the Philippine team if they choose to.
Two-time Cy Young winner Tim Lincecum, a member of the San Francisco Giants that won last year's World Series against the Texas Rangers, has a Filipina mother.
Lefty pitcher Geno Espineli, who is also part of the Giants' organization playing in their minor league baseball team, is also of Filipino descent and has visited the country in 2008.

Hope that the Phil baseball association will prepare for this one...this is one of the lifetime event......hope that there some wealthy people will help by sponsoring this event.....

They haven't really called up the U-23 team yet so we don't know which players impressed the national coaching staff. We will find out then. As for who is the better league, again this is a subjective assessment by coaches and fans. You are claiming it, not earning it. Now that the Smart Club championship has been established, you have the chance to prove it. Hopefully it will evolve into a national professional league with teams all over the country but for now all we can do is speculate. In the meantime, it would be better for the best players in the provinces to join the UFL in Manila where they can be compared to the rest of the national team players as well as foreign imports. This will increase the standard of play in the UFL which in turn will benefit the national team. Indeed.......the smart championship will be the gauge.......hopefully it turn out good for the football in general.... im sorry but you keep saying subjective.....why not you assess what I mean, I saw some of the leagues in the vismin area and I can say that they can beat SOME of the UFL team (off course not the talented air force and Smart team), some of the team can play evenly, and im not the only one saying this.....some of the reason why they still playing in the province because financial they dont have it, sorry but this, the palakasan system in the PHL still exist, recruitment is not that good. Anyways lets see the incoming smart championship, eventhough NOFA did not qualify, ill go for the Iloilo, but I admit Rizal team is the team look for......damn there formidable team....

cjeagle Indeed my question still the same as the football....i need clarification, and thanks youve given me insight for this matter..... Though my thought speaks differently, im just curious on how the locals will accept this sport because it is unknown to the majority, But it doesnt mean i will support, maybe im just too old to play this one.....of all the contact sport i play, i pass this one.....hehehehe Sorry for the sentences that I said, what im trying to emphasize is to support our team that has been a long time played in the philippines, well i guess time change and mind set of people change.

If we are not physically big, why are we undefeated in the Asian 5 Nations? Why are we considered among the top teams of Asia then? The Filipinos can succeed in ANY sport. All it takes is willpower. No offense but look at their lineup en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippines_national_rugby_union_teamwww.prfu.com/mens-15s.htmlmajority of this are filipino based abroad with or have other ethnic lineage...that is why there big...and thanks it is our edge...it is not im against totally to the team just a thought what will happen if you introduce it to the people especially outside manila???just curious... japanese rugby team majority are trained locally with a japanese citizen.... Yes we won in the competition, my question what is the plan to sustain this winning record???do we need still filipinos based abroad or we need to introduce it to the locals???

cjeagleYour recommendation is very good so that the players will give a chance however....... UFL is not only the league in the Philippines their are are lot of leagues with a better team and players....that is why im not a fan of UFL because it is a manila base league though I support the league to become successful and a key to merge all the leagues in phl as one solid league. Some of the players opted to stay in the province to play the league some move to manila. And the players of the Under 23 are college stand-outs from the various colleges that have a continous competition all year round like those on the vis-min area. This players are well known, the question is does there fame reaches manila, I think not maybe some but not majority, not until this regional competition reemerge again, I think that the PFF must emphasize their scouting capability. And how much more subjective if the players that hired to the NT, that there's no basis why they selected? if theres a basis then please elaborate so that we will change our mind. The regional competition has been announced early as possible, even they had an ample time to group themselve and play as a team. that is why theres a regional elimination. As what the PFF declares that they will try to recruit players during the under 23 tourney, but it seems that the coaching staff didnt impress the players from the provinces, it is their choice. Only that there integrity is tarnish (just a hypothesis but not concrete).
