Honestly, I'd rather stick with the current players. Some players who were called up but decline because of academics are not deserving. It seems they chose their school rather than their country. These team that played in the qualifier is enough and maybe with the addition of some forwards like Jesse Shugg. With the FIFA Women's World Cup on the line, they need to bring their best players next year. Imagine the exposure that football is going to get in the Philippines if they do make the top 5 of the Asian Cup finals and qualify for the FIFA World Cup. It will inspire many of the kids today who don't care about football to take up the sport. That doesn't mean that many of those who begged off deserved to be called up. Many of the current players proved that they deserved to be in the squad despite their youth and if they continue to improve will most likely make it next year as well. They need to participate and continue gaining experience in the UAAP and the PFF Women's League as well as in the SEA games. Those who begged off due to academics should be given a second chance. Yes we qualified even without two of the top goalscorers in Dimaandal and Lemoran, and throw in Ateneo's CamRod as well. Yes, being a student-athlete is hard (one instance of injury and your season (and your scholarship) might be gone in a puff), but calling those who begged off not deserving is uncalled for. The problem is not with their coaches, or the members of the UAAP board or their Athletic Directors, but to the inconsiderate professors who forgot what nationalism is all about.

^ We can try calling up some more of the kids of 2013 who have obviously bloomed now like Claire Lim. Olivia Schmitt maybe, but i haven't really heard of much football from the other kids. Players to consider from the U17/u18 age group who participated in this months ECNL(Elite Clubs National League) tournament in Arizona U17 GIRLS: * Rhea Arcenal-Chan(De Anza Force) * Sonia Chan(De Anza Force) * Dani Fernandez(Strikers FC) * Gillian Antiporda(MVLA) * Isabella Adamos(Pleasanton Rage) * Aidan Reineman(Real So Cal) * Lauren Fuch(Slammers FC) * Jillian Gonzales(McLean Youth Soccer) U18 GIRLS: * Dani Wheeler(De Anza Force) * Reina Bonta(De Anza Force) * Michele Bonifacio(Santa Rosa United) * Maiya Pacleb(Seattle Reign Academy) * Danni Barton(Slammers FC) * Malia Allison(Crossfire Premier) c/o markilizer although for the Asian Cup you should be inviting college players. Olivia Schmitt will be graduating next year. I am not sure how that affects her availability for the Asian Cup. ECNL is not the only top youth league in the country. There's the USYS National League and the girls US Development Academy. If they want to focus on just collegiate athletes, then I hope they focus on the very best ones.

Yes hopefully the current coaching staff can organize another tryout for eligible players in the US like Coach Nierras used to do so they can evaluate them firsthand, possibly even scout them on their club teams during tournaments or competitions.

30 November 2017 PFF formally taps Richard Boon to take charge of the Malditas for the Women's Asian Cup by Kevin Estrada MANILA--The Philippines' preparations for next year's Women's Asian Cup have stepped up a notch, as the Philippine Football Federation has formally tapped up the services of Richard Boon as its head coach last Thursday. With the signing of Boon, the American influence in the country's game is now set in stone for the senior national sides, as Thomas Dooley handles the Azkals for the past three years. Already been hired last month to oversee the US-based footballers, Boon has now put the pen to the paper on the contracts alongside newly appointed assistant Clint McDaniel, with PFF President Mariano Araneta and MVP Sports Foundation president Vince Santos alongside them as the team was in its training and identification camp in California during the week. Boon, who had vast experience in the youth and the women's game, is replacing FEU tactician Let Dimzon who steered the Malditas during August's SEA Games. www.dugout.ph/2017/11/pff-formally-taps-richard-boon-to-take.html

With the AFC Women’s Asian Cup tournament less than five months away, participating teams have been busy with preparations with most, namely Australia, Japan, Korea Republic, China, Thailand, Vietnam and Jordan holding friendly matches against each other. The Philippines meanwhile is taking a unique step. Immediately right after the last tour of duty by the Philippine women’s football team—the Southeast Asian Games—the Philippine Football Federation created a special task force to see through preparations for the Women’s Asian Cup in Jordan next April with the goal of qualifying for the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup in France. Called “Project Jordan”, the task force is spearheaded by the PFF President Mariano V. Araneta himself and has reeled in major sponsors namely PLDT, the MVP Sports Foundation, Giligan’s, Corinthians Soccer Club, Deft Touch Soccer, the Athletics Rehabilitation and Mixed Martial Arts (ARMM) facility, and Pythos Technology Philippines Inc. Two major undertakings have taken place because of Project Jordan, the first being an identification camp held in the U.S. that was participated by potential new recruits based overseas together with players who have already capped for the Philippines such as Hali Long, Hanna Parado, Claire Lim, Patricia Tomanon and Eva Madarang from this year. Participants like Alexa Diaz, Chalise Baysa, Morgan Brown, Sidra Bugsch, Krystal De Ramos, Caitlyn Kreutz, Shelby Salvacion and Camille Wilson have represented the Philippines in 2013 and 2016. Most of the participants are based in North America save for Cathrine Buccat Graversen who plays top-flight professional club football in Denmark. Two locally based players, Natasha Alquiros and Camille Rodriguez, joined the camp for training which took place in the El Cerrito Sports Complex in Corona, California from November 18 to 26. The other major action is the signing of American Richard Boon to the head coaching position along with a new staff. Boon is a licensed USSF A coach who specializes in girls’ youth soccer, and also holds a license from the English Football Association as well as a premier diploma from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. “I’m very excited and honored to have been appointed as the senior national team coach,” Boon told Tiebreaker Times through e-mail. With Boon, the Philippines has seen its third women’s team head coach this year and succeeds Let Dimzon, who led a fourth-place finish at the SEA Games, and Buda Bautista, who led the team to a successful AFC Qualifiers campaign in Tajikistan and was honored for it by the AFC. This also means Boon is the first male coach to lead the Philippines since Ernest Nierras in 2013. Boon said that they are extremely pleased with the outcome of the U.S. camp. “The selection camp was very successful. It had a good mix of young talented collegiate players, and experienced players who have had prior international experience. The girls showed a great competitive spirit and high work rate throughout the duration of camp. As a coach I’m looking for players who are capable of training and playing at a high standard on a consistent basis,” he said. Boon also spoke highly of local representatives Alquiros and Rodriguez, while generally commending those who have already played for the Philippines. “It was apparent that players from the Philippines are technically gifted and very comfortable on the ball. It was great to see the more experienced players from the national team pool sharing their knowledge of playing international events, and what to expect on and off the field as we get closer to our goal of qualifying in Jordan for the World Cup. As would be expected, the capped players were all in sync with the tactical aspect of game management,” he added. Boon reassures that whatever system he has in place will be adjusted once the other locally-based players join the training camps that are slated to start next month. “Once we have seen all the players selected from the camps and the inclusion of the new players coming from the Philippines, as well as players who were injured, we will identify what system best suits our player personnel for success.” This system will also depend on the outcome of the bracketing draw for the Women’s Asian Cup on December 9. Boon is aware that every match in Jordan next year will be a battle with so much at stake and that a Women’s World Cup berth will be on every team’s agenda. He promises that he will make sure the Philippines will be prepared for any opponent. “There is a belief among this group of players and staff that we can achieve what we are setting out to do,” Boon asserted. tiebreakertimes.com/tbt/project-jordan-pff-recruits-more-overseas-based-players-signs-new-coach-for-womens-team/103237Some exciting new players including a pro from Europe will be added to the team. Hopefully they can make the Women's World Cup.

Good draw for us. It is amazing how the host got all the weaker teams in their group, but I am not complaining at all. With 5 slots for Asia in the World Cup, all we need to do is finish top 2 in our group.

The Philippine Women's National Football Team (PWNFT) is slated to compete against Jordan, China and Thailand in the group stage of the 2018 AFC Women's Asian Cup on April 7 tto 22, 2018 in Jordan. The groupings were a result of the draw held on Saturday, December 9, where the Philippines will be competing in Group A along with hosts Jordan while defending champion Japan and world no. 6 Australia are grouped with Vietnam and Korea Republic in Group B. "We are happy with the outcome of the draw and look forward to the opportunity to bring honor to our country. We call on all true supporters of Philippine Football to come together to help make the World Cup Qualification a reality," said Philippine Football President and Project Jordan Head Mariano Araneta. The Women's Asian Cup acts as a qualifier for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup, where top 5 teams of the competition will advance to the world tournament in France. This will be the first senior national team in Philippine football history to reach an Asian Cup finals. The PWNFT booked a ticket to the continental tournament as they finished second place with 10 points in Group A of the 2017 AFC Women's Asian Cup Qualifiers. The team dominated their matches against the United Arab Emirates (4-0), Iraq (4-0), Tajikistan (8-0). Sara Castañeda's 82nd equalizing volley allowed the team to draw 1-1 with Bahrain and assured them of a spot in the Asian Cup finals. The PWNFT only lost to the hosts Jordan (1-5), who also finished on top of Group A with 15 points. "In 2010, the Miracle in Hanoi brought us all together to support the Men's National Team. Now is the time for Women's football to take us to the next level," said Araneta. www.rappler.com/sports/philippines/190951-pwnft-2018-afc-womens-asian-cup-group-a-drawError in this article. This is not the first time the Philippines participated in the AFC Women's Asian Cup. They have done this 8 times before, the latest was in 2003. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AFC_Women%27s_Asian_Cup

The Philippine women's football team, more popularly known as the Malditas, now know their opponents in their maiden appearance in the 2018 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Women's Asian Cup. The Filipinas were drawn into Group A alongside South East Asian powerhouse Thailand, host nation Jordan, and China. "I'm actually speechless! Thank you God for this draw. I'm excited!" Captain Patrice Impelido said in a statement. The draw was made at the King Hussein bin Talal Convention Center in Jordan Saturday. Group B contains some of the tougher squads in the region, with Japan, Australia, South Korea, and Vietnam grouped together. The winners and runners-up of each group will advance to the semi-finals of the competition and automatically qualify for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup. Third placed nations from each group will meet in a play-off for the fifth and final Asian berth for the World Cup. With the Philippines avoiding the likes of Japan, Australia, and South Korea early on, the Filipinas see an opportunity to make it far in the tournament. "We see light and hope to make the next round. But again, it's not going to be an easy journey. It never will," Co-captain Inna Palacios said. "Proper preparation is crucial here. We cannot wait!" The AFC Women's Asian Cup will be played from April 6 to 20 in Amman. cnnphilippines.com/sports/2017/12/10/2018-AFC-Womens-Asian-Cup-Philippine-Malditas-draw.html

Malditas got the most ideal draw for the Asian Cup. They need only to log in a win and a draw to qualify for France. But then again, it is easier said than done since obviously the Malditas are heavy underdogs against all the teams. But at least they have better chances in Group A, especially against Jordan and Thailand. Better chances but still very much an uphill climb. Jordan routed us in the qualifiers and we have never won against Thailand which has already previously qualified in the World Cup. So, all the best and good luck.
Hope we get to field in the best players, both overseas and local based.
