Yep, who would have expected this? I smile everytime I hear or read the world Azkal in ABS-CBN and GMA

Is this the KALIGO of old? The passionate crusader of all things Azkal? It seems that those mud-slinging days of pinoysoccer.com are long gone (although Paul is alive and kicking... somewhere somehow) and now it's fashionable to throw around the name Azkals. Look how many people are coming out of the woodwork to declare their love for the Azkals. Bandwagon jumpers? Who cares! This is what we've been talking about for years. We need football to be out there and look how far we've come. WELCOME BACK, BROTHER!

I see Paul comment sometimes on on Jonny's blog but he's being positive. Nothing like times like this to bring us all on the same page! Go Azkals! What a great time to be a fan!

I still can't believe that mainstream media--ANC, ABS, GMA--and the front pages of the national papers are devoting so much space for the Philippine team.
And they have adopted the name Azkals, too.
A fellow reporter told me, "I never thought I'd be alive to see football get this kind of publicity."
It's good to be back.
By the way, this is the song that I will be singing against Indonesia. A fan from Japan wrote this. I hope you like it too.

It's too bad we lost that old forum and all the old posts. Indeed, I too find myself with a grin when I read Azkals in the mainstream media, having supported the name when it came up in the forums. I have to say that even in those days I could forsee the time when soccer would be more mainstream and that whatever name was picked would be used in the newspapers and TV. And here we are now.

The name Azkals really stuck. I remember all the debates/arguments about it. Some people on the other forum wants to change it, they come up with reasons why. I dont think they can change it anymore.
BTW anybody saw Anthony Tabaerna's show on studio23 last night? I forgot the name of the news show. He interviewed Mr.Palami, Chiffy, Jaugan, Ferrer, Barsales, Casapano and the rest of the local base players. They got a descent time on air, a good 15-17mins maybe. I like it the part where Mr. Taberna exposed Martinez's doing on TV, and you can see on players face there approval.

Azkals on Astig TV: bcove.me/5vxgov9uIndeed, the name Azkals has permeated the country's consciousness so deeply it's next to impossible to change it now. Besides, the team accepts it! Still, there are a whole new set of people now who dont like it or wonder why that is. I usually direct them to ka ligo's repost of the story in Azkals.com Anyone arranging a viewing party of the semis?

kaligo, did you mean the Astig TV segment? It's not mine but it's available on Astig TV's website for everyone to see. So I guess it's okay to share on Facebook. I'm in Manila so I probably can't join your viewing party. Sayang.
