Uzbekistan is considered to be part of the 5 football power nations in Asia. (Japan, S. Korea, Australia and Iran) If Uzbeks play serious Azkals should be ready to have an alibi for tremendous whipping and continuous scoring.

Organizers of the Azkals’ Tour yesterday announced that Phl XI will kick off their three-game slate against Uzbekistan on Feb. 11 in Dubai, then battle Qatari club Al Ahli SC two days later in Doha, and wrap up with a game against Qantas Australian U-23 on Feb. 16 in Dubai. It was not immediately clear whether it will be the U-23 team or the national team from Uzbekistan that will engage the Azkals in a friendly. In their Facebook page, organizers said it will be the national team (senior) but according to Azkals team coordinator Ace Bright, they will play the U-23 crew. www.philstar.com/SportsArticle.aspx?articleId=772694&publicationSubCategoryId=69&keyword=sp_football

Azkals meet big bumps in AFC buildupBY BONG PEDRALVEZ AT the rate the national team preparations are going, German coach Michael Weiss cautioned local fans not to expect any miracles when the Azkals compete in the AFC Challenge Cup in Katmandhu, Nepal in March. "As far as the Challenge Cup preparations are concerned, they are far from ideal," Weiss said after the nationals were held to a 2-2 draw by FC Global in a recent tune-up match at the Rizal Memorial Football field. "The performance does not give us so much hope. Every single individual did not perform as far as they were expected given the demands of a big tournament in six weeks’ time," he noted. "My impression as you can see is that they are distracted. Why, I don’t know." Considered the tougher of the two groups in the Nepal tourney, the Filipinos are bracketed in Group B with India, Tajikistan and North Korea, the 2006, 2008 and 2010 AFC Challenge Cup titlists, respectively. Comparing the performance of the Filipino booters the previous weekend when they battled the visiting Icheon City squad of South Korea to a 1-all draw before losing 2-4 in a penalty shootout, Weiss said his charges’ showing in the tune-up game was "like day and night." But he quickly added he would not consider the performance "traumatic," citing the two side’s practices were limited to once a week due to the players’ commitments with their respective UFL clubs. Weiss said the Azkals’ coming training camp Dubai would be crucial to their build-up for the AFC Challenge Cup. "Especially now with the situation in the Philippines (with the UFL), it is important to have the team day by day, to work on team strategy, set pieces, we have to work on ball possession, the whole football package," he said, adding he’s hopeful the UFL players would be released for the camp. The German mentor said he’s looking forward to re-establishing team chemistry among the Azkals "and possibly get us closer together." At least 20 to 22 players were listed and their visas secured for the Middle East training stint, but Weiss said he will only know who exactly will be available "once we are there." The Azkals are expected to have three tune-up games during the two-week camp, namely against the Azerbaijan national team coached by former German national team mainstay Berti Vogts, top Qatari club Al-Ahrabi and the Australian Under-23 Olympic team. Despite the numerous handicaps, Weiss said he and his wards would give the AFC Challenge Cup their best shot but admitted that "with the limited training it won’t be easy." www.malaya.com.ph/01302012/sports3.html

We should get the locals to play, coach should consider Doctora - i think he's accuracy's better than Nate or even Araneta. IMHO

i had my doubts from the beginning. UZB is one of the rising asian football powers and to be able to get them last minute like that was nothing short of astonishing. haha

They are leaving on Feb 5, so only 12 days before leaving. Here is my probable 23 man squad for the training camp : Sacapano ,Pascual ,Gier , del Rosario , Gener , Barbaso , Raymark Fernandez ,Jonsson, Carli,Sabio, Juan Luis Aldeguer Guirado ,James Y , Angel , Chieffy , Margarse , Moy ,Simon Greatwich, Misagh , Phil Y , Nate Burkey and Ian Araneta I dont expect too many fil-foreigners based abroad to join the training camp in Dubai and some players will be home preparing for Brunei U21 tournament ? I got 2 players left : 1 Gk extra and 1 fil-foreigner based abroad or local players will complete the squad. I will update my list : Sacapano ,Pascual ,Gier , del Rosario , Gener , Barbaso , Jonsson, Carli,Sabio, Juan Luis Aldeguer Guirado ,James Y , Angel , Margarse , Moy , Joshua Beloya ,Ruben Doctora JR , Misagh , Phil Y , Nate Burkey and Ian Araneta Out : Fernandez , Chieffy and Simon Greatwich (?) In : Ruben Doctora Jr and Joshua Beloya They should be 23 players , I need 3 more players
