Is it true that the U22 will beg off participating in this year's edition of the Hassanal Bolkiah Trophy? It's an Under-21 tournamemt now,the organizers changed it from U-22 before. PFF won't send a team might be because of the ongoing UAAP, PFL and they want to focus on the Azkals Matches this month. |

 The journey to the AFC U23 Championship Thailand 2020 Qualifiers has begun following the official draw ceremony at the AFC House on Wednesday. The Draw divided the 44 participating teams into two zones of WEST (West + South + Central) with 24 teams, and EAST (East + ASEAN) with 20 teams. Group J host Malaysia, who reached the quarter-finals of the competition for the first time in their history in January, are set to host China PR, Laos and Philippines. The 11 group winners and four best second-placed teams will qualify for the Finals, with the host nation of the Finals receiving automatic qualification. In the event that the host of the Finals, Thailand, finish among the qualified teams to the Finals (either top of the group or one of the four best second-placed teams), the next (fifth) second-placed team in the ranking among all groups will qualify to the Finals instead. The 2020 Qualifiers will be held on March 22-26, 2019. www.the-afc.com/competitions/afc-u-23-championship/latest/news/thailand-2020-qualifiers-draw-result |

I just read that the PFF is sending an U22 youth team to the AFF U22 championship on Feb 17 with only 2 weeks of preparation. Isn't the PFF getting tired of being on the receiving end of demoralizing national youth team multigoal losses?
Don't they understand that it is demoralizing for young soccer players aspiring to be national team players someday to see their team demolished year after year? That is why they choose to play basketball instead.
Of course skipping the tournament is not the answer either, since all that does is send the message to all our aspiring young players that we are not even trying.
The least they can do is prepare them adequately so they can be competitive. We even lose to smaller teams like Timor Leste, Brunei, etc. not because of a smaller pool or lack of skill but because the PFF has failed them, but sending teams unprepared.
We now have a national team training camp venue partially financed by FIFA with land donated by the Manila Jockey Club. What excuse does the PFF have not to spend a longer period of time preparing teams?
We don't expect our teams to suddenly be dominating at international competitions. We are a developing football country with a smaller pool of players and we all understand that. We just expect them to be competitive and to achieve that all it takes is proper preparation and organization which the PFF has been found wanting again and again.

Heard from a reliable source that the U-22/23 NT under Coach Cooper already started forming a team and practicing even before the start of Suzuki Cup, they have 94 players on their Pool, mostly homegrown players but they're also open on recruiting Foreign-based players. but with UAAP on going during AFF U22, UAAP Stars won't be playing for our U22 AFF team.
expect this batch to be much competitive compare to the previous U22/23 teams. They will be playing this year for AFF U22, AFC U23 Qualifying, and Sea Games.

It may sound stupid but I'd still be optimistic. Not that I agree with the leniency of the PFF but, since the last decade that the Azkals have taken popularity. We've only seen young players coming from school-based teams. And I'd be positive that soon enough, we'd get young players from the academies that have been established. Basically, first 5 years of the football renaissance, we're getting players from university programs. But now (or soon) we'll get them from the academies themselves.
But ofcourse, the PFF should also manage the talents well.

Suprisingly competitive result Aff U22 LG Cup 2019 17 February 2019 | 15:30 PM | National Stadium Vietnam 2:1 Philippines  Brave Young Azkals fall to Decisive Vietnam in their AFF U-22 Opener Despite the lack of preparation heading into the tournament, the Philippines U-22 squad still put up a fight against a promising Vietnam squad in their opening match in the AFF U-22 Championship in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The Philippines were expected to go down easily against a heavily-prepare kod U-22 side from Vietnam who produced the AFC U-23 Championship first runners-up last year. The boys in white held off the opposition in the entire match amidst the heavy pressure put on them by the Golden Dragons. The Philippines saw a chance to win the game as they went ahead on the 50th minute. Dylan De Bruycker made a lovely run on the left before being brought down by the defence just outside the box. JB Borlongan stepped up to the plate and slotted the ball on the top left corner of the goal where the keeper had no chance of reaching. However, Vietnam didn’t want to stay behind and pushed on for the equalizer. Matt Asong was on constant pressure from the attackers but he always deflects their shot away from the goal. He did let one slip past him on the 74th minute when Danh Trung Tran received a lovely square ball before tapping it past Asong. It didn’t take long for Vietnam to overturn the tie as Le Minh Binh took advantage of the scramble inside the box amongst the defenders. He just dinked the ball past the scrambling defence and a frustrated Asong. From then on, they didn’t allow any chance for the Philippines to breath heading into the final whistle.

They will now rest and face the defending U-22 champions Thailand on the 19th of February. pinoyfootball.com/2019/02/17/phi-vie/?fbclid=IwAR089Nabs8WecJ6YemqLi39sX7boRvU90SDgEmIC5awl7-Y7bESDkf1sSvw |

Interesting info on the U22 team Seven players from the “Little Azkals” team who represented and impressed for the Philippines in Italy and in Japan in 2013 are part of the current U22. This includes scorer Jeremiah Borlongan( who led UP to back to back titles in UAAP) Troy Limbo who now plays for Sunderland RCA in England, Mark Winhoffer who plays for Yale University in the US, Christian Florence La Paz from Dumaguete of UP, Vincent Erick Lovitos from Cebu of La Salle St. Benilde, Rey Vincent Sanciangco from Manila of UP , Major Dean Ebarle from Cebu of Kaya FC. Two other “Little Azkals Marco Alessandro Casambre(I think he signed with a Thai team) and Kintaro Miyagi of UP also could have easy made the line-up but are reportedly injured. Also missing in the team is Ateneo de Manila University striker and now considered as the new golden boy of Philippine football, Jarvey Gayoso has opted not to play in Cambodia. Other notable addition is PFL pro veteran Dylan De Bruyker–Midfielder-Negros-Ceres. The Philippine U22 team AFF U22 Championship appearance is part of their preparation for the Southeast Asian Games (SEAG) set here in the Philippines in December. The Philippines grouped with Vietnam, Thailand, and Timor Leste in Group A. Source: pinoyfootball.com/2019/02/16/oro-boys-make-philippine-u-22-team-to-aff-u-22-championship/ |

“The boys fought hard. But we collapsed towards the end. This is the results of just two weeks of training. I don’t blame the players. They did well under the circumstances,” added Philippines head coach Andres Gonzales. www.aseanfootball.org/v3/aff-u22-lg-cup-comeback-win-for-vietnam/PFF does it again. Lack of preparation is always a handicap all the youth teams have to endure. |

20 February 2019 AFF U22 LG CUP: Thailand 3-0 Philippines PHNOM PENH (19 Feb 2019) – Two wins out of two have given Thailand their place in the semi-finals of the AFF Under-22 LG Cup 2019 following their 3-0 win over the Philippines in a Group A this afternoon at the National Olympic Stadium here in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Two goals in the first half and then another after the break gave Thailand – the winner of the inaugural tournament in 2005 – the full six points from two matches played. “It was a much better performance than what we showed in the first game (against Timor Leste),” said Jaroensak Wonggorn, the scorer of the first goal after the match. “But the heat was really intense today.” In spite of the bearing heat, Thailand showed no signs of letting things slide as they took the early initiative to push forward. And just three minutes into the game, the found the opener when Jaroensak beat the offside trap to fire the ball past Philippines custodian Michael Cangco Asong. The Philippines were struggling to contain the speedy Thai forwards and they could not stop them from adding to the scoreline in the 12th minte with Kittipong Sansanit providing the cross and Jedsadakorn Kowngam nodding the ball in from close. The Philippines finally came alive in the second half as Mark Winhoffer used his physical presence to his advantage. But with the lack of support upfront and Rico Andres lacking that precision with the crosses, it was always going to be a struggle. The best that the Philippines could muster was a well-taken freekick from Winhoffer right at the hour mark but which came off the crossbar instead. And seven minutes to the end, Thailand wrapped things up with their goal of the game when captain Saringkan Promsupa burst through for a stiff grounder past Asong. “Thailand were every bit as what we expected them to be,” said captain Dimitri Limbo. “But we tried very hard to match them and I thought that we came close in the second half.” www.aseanfootball.org/v3/aff-u22-lg-cup-thailand-make-semis/ |

Timor Leste 1-0 Philippines The Philippines Under-22 team ended their AFF U22 Championship 2019 with a heart-breaking 1-0 loss to Timor Leste last Thursday 21 February 2019 at the National Stadium in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. With the match already a non-bearing contest, the Philippines looked to claim the win and went close in the first half. Midfielder Mark Winhoffer was through on goal but his shot was denied by the goalkeeper Timor Leste took the lead in the 64th minute to deny the Philippines the win. The Philippines finished the tournament at the bottom of Group A with 3 losses. The AFF U22 tournament served as preparation for the AFC U23 Championship 2020 Qualifiers next month and the 30th Southeast Asian Games. “We thank the Philippines Under-22 team for their run in the AFF U22 Championship 2019,” said PFF general secretary Atty. Edwin Gastanes. “Though the team did not get the result, the valuable learnings and experiences from this tournament will help the team prepare for the AFC U23 Championship 2020 Qualifiers in March 2019 and the 30th Southeast Asian Games in November 2019.” pff.org.ph/2019/02/22/timor-leste-1-0-philippines/ |

Philippines succumbs to Rashid brace in AFC U-23 qualifying tourney opener The Philippine National Men’s Under-23 Football Team’s quest to qualify for the 2020 AFC U-23 Championship started in the worst possible way. Up against a daunting Malaysia side on its home soil at the Shah Alam Stadium in Selangor, the Philippines folded 0-3 in its first 2020 AFC Championship Qualification match. The result leaves coach Salvador Salvacion’s men at 3rd place in Group J after matchday one because of their lesser margin of defeat as Laos suffered a 0-5 loss to China earlier in the day. Only the top team in the group gets a certain ticket to the 2020 tourney, while the country that reaches second place must hope that results go its way in order to cross the finish line. Akhyar Rashid handed the home side a dream start after four minutes of play when he slotted the ball home from close range. The Malaysian then got his second strike of the match in the 31st minute thanks to a clever strike that crept into the back of the net. Already with a two-goal advantage, the home side remained eager to please its countrymen, who flocked to the stadium, with another goal in the contest. Faisal Abdul Halim provided the icing on the cake for Malaysia seven minutes from time when he toyed with the Philippine defense and calmly directed the ball home for Malaysia’s third goal of the match. To say that it was an unpleasant evening for the Philippines is an understatement, and its campaign is bound to get more challenging come the next fixture. The Filipinos next go up against legendary Dutch football coach Guus Hiddink’s China. The game will be played on March 24, 2019, 4:30 PM at the Shah Alam Stadium. tiebreakertimes.com.ph/tbt/philippines-succumbs-rashid-brace-afc-u-23-qualifying-tourney-opener/144419 |
