Sunday, May 20, 2012 Fair Play: Prior commitments As soon as we found out through the media that there was a game on June 1, we spoke to Coach Weiss and the brothers spoke to Dan (upon his arrival from Europe). Rest assured, that the brothers are fully committed to the National Team, however, they could not get out of a previous MAJOR commitment (No, it is not an endorsement nor a TVC nor a photo shoot).”Oh Maybe, since Didier Drogba is officially out of Chelsea - Phil Y is called up for a try out? ;D #wishfulthinking Anyway, we have pool of players now thanks to the UFL. Those in the camp are willing to show their worth, we can win this thing.

Philippine Azkals confident ahead of Malaysia clashBy Cedelf Tupas Philippine Daily Inquirer 8:19 am | Friday, May 25th, 2012 MANILA, Philippines — Armed with a deeper talent pool, the Philippine Azkals are still expected to field a formidable side against Malaysia in an international friendly on June 1 even without three key players. Azkals team manager Dan Palami expressed confidence that the Azkals could get the job done at the Shah Alam Stadium in Selangor on June 1when the national side battles the reigning Suzuki Cup champion in a rematch of its showdown last February that ended in a 1-1 draw. Brothers Phil and James Younghusband have ruled themselves out of the clash because of prior commitments, while first-choice keeper Neil Etheridge will serve a one-game suspension for his off-field actions during the third-place clash against Palestine in the AFC Challenge Cup in Nepal. “I think we still have the players who are committed to play and are capable of getting a result against Malaysia,” said Palami. Expected to play for the Azkals are goalkeeper Roland Muller, defenders Rob Gier, Juani Guirado, Ray Jonsson and Carli de Murga, midfielders Stephan Schrock, Angel Guirado, Paul Mulders, Manny Ott, Chieffy Caligdong and striker Denis Wolf. Fil-Danish standouts Jerry Lucena and Dennis Cagara will beef up the Azkals lineup in the June 5 friendly against Indonesia at the Rizal Memorial Stadium. The Azkals are currently in Bacolod for a weeklong camp that has given unheralded players like Arnie Pasinabo, Patrick Deyto, Jovanie Simpron Antonio Albor, Bervic Italia, Anto Gonzales and OJ Clarino the opportunity to earn the nod of coach Michael Weiss. “We’re happy that these players were released by their clubs in the UFL. Commitment to the team is very important as of the moment and we are hoping they can show that in the camp,” said Palami. Although the Younghusband brothers already left the camp Thursday, a fresh wave of players based in Europe are expected to join the team today, including defender Gier, Wolf, Ott and e Jong. The Azkals will play in a four-team exhibition tournament starting Saturday at the Panaad Stadium that will also involve the national Under-22 team preparing for the AFC Championships in June. sports.inquirer.net/44801/philippine-azkals-confident-ahead-of-malaysia-clash

Malaysia name strong squad for friendlies[/color] Malaysia coach K. Rajagopal has named a near full-strength squad for his side's upcoming friendlies against the Philippines and Singapore.By ESPNSTAR.com staff In what will likely be viewed by many as a statement of intent from the Tigers, especially just six months before they bid to defend the AFF Suzuki Cup, Rajagopal has plumped for several of the players that won him the title back in 2010. His 26-man selection also contrasts markedly from the teams he put out in previous friendlies, where he went for a mixture of seasoned campaigners and untried youngsters. And Rajagopal admits he has one eye of the upcoming regional tournament that kicks off on November 24. "This is a gradual build-up towards the Suzuki Cup in November," he told The Star. Ten of the starting XI that beat Indonesia in the two-legged final two years ago are in line take on the Philippines on June 1 and Singapore on June 8 and 12, with Terengganu centre-back Muslim Ahmad the only player missing. These include captain Safiq Rahim, speed merchant S. Kunanlan and star striker Safee Sali, who is currently plying his trade in Indonesia with Pelita Jaya. There were also places for several up-and-coming players, including Terengganu defender Faizal Muhammad, Negri Sembilan marksman Ahmad Shakir and Harimau Muda A winger Wan Zack Haikal. Malaysia squad to play the Philippines (June 1) and Singapore (June 8 and 12)Goalkeepers: Khairul Fahmi Che Mat (Kelantan), Sharbinee Allawee Ramli (Terengganu), Farizal Marlias (Negri Sembilan) Defenders: Amirizwan Taj Tajuddin, Aidil Zafuan Abdul Razak (both ATM), Mahali Jasuli, Fadhli Shas (both Harimau Muda A), Asraruddin Putra Omar, Bunyamin Umar (both Selangor), Faizal Muhammad (Terengganu), Sabre Mat Abu (Kedah), S. Subramaniam (Kelantan) Midfielders: Mohd Shakir Shaari, S. Chanturu (both Kelantan), K. Gurusamy, Safiq Rahim (both Selangor), Shahurain Abu Samah, S. Kunanlan (both Negri Sembilan), Amar Rohidan (Kedah), Wan Zack Haikal (Harimau Muda A), Asha'ri Samsuddin (Terengganu) Forwards: Ahmad Shakir (Negri Sembilan), Safee Sali (Pelita Jaya), Norshahrul Idlan Talaha (Kelantan), Khyril Muhymeen (Kedah), Mohd Faiz Subri (T-Team) www.espnstar.com/football/asian-football/news/detail/item807137/Malaysia-name-strong-side-for-friendlies/

Guys, this won't be the end of the world if they lose this friendly with Malaysia. With a deeper lineup I'm sure the boys will definitely pull a good run on this one. All I want for Coach Weiss to look into is that this shouldn't be a game that's a must-win for FIFA ranking points, but rather a good avenue to make way for other players to prove themselves worthy on the pitch against these opponents. I even don't expect this yet to be a definite gauge for the upcoming Suzuki Cup, in which Malaysia will be co-hosting.
I only think a clean-sheet loss by 5 or more goals, or a late winning goal by the other team in this one might become a definite shock for the team, and a regrouping must be made.

Wooo are they serious? We are not the PHI team that our opponent gets huge points against us ;D
Based on predictions Top 3 MAS 8 - PHI 0 MAS 2 - PHI 0 MAS 3 - PHI 0
Prediction: MAS 66.3% win PHI 29.7% win 4% draw
Surely most of the voters here are Malaysians. I don't think 8-0 will not be the score of this game. They're dreaming XD ;D

I'm sure we all know that the people who voted an 8-0 scoreline are probably all Malaysians, read here: www.goal.com/en-my/news/3891/features/2012/05/17/3062105/five-ways-to-improve-malaysias-fifa-football-ranking and you'll understand why they are pissed. I suppose we are still SEA minnows in their mindsets. I guess to compare, we look at Guam(w/ due respect to them) like they look at us compared to their team. So in essence until we really beat them and don't draw, we will never get the respect we want from them. This Malay team will be the strongest(or close too) they can muster against us. It will go a long way in the region if we beat them. With our lineup, I believe we can upset them. The problem is key players have just arrived from Europe and we did not have the luxury of a good training camp with ALL the boys together. At least most of our boys aren't new to each other. Go Philippines!
