@akosibab: Thanks for the opinion but you're at the wrong section. Please move this to the UFL thread. Usapang Football/Mods: Please move this thread to the UFL section, or better yet...

The goalie is an active SPO2 and most of the rest are working stiffs. Nice try though, they just got together so they'll improve but don't expect them to be as good as Global, Air Force and the like. I think if they continue to lose, they'll eventually start recruiting none Cebuano players.

Saw the game. Even if Stallions dominated Cebu, I still give Cebu coaches,players and owners the thumbs up for joining UFL. Maybe next year they can come up with a better team, sign new players maybe.

LOL...
Those are not pro players and not even semi-pro players. You can consider them a bunch of guys that likes to play football and with a rich backer to boot. The team manager is the owner of one of the biggest construction company(Top 10) in the Philippines.
IIRC, they are only given free fares, kits and food ;D no salaries.
The coach is not even full time, he is a P.E. teacher at (not very sure)Cebu International School/Springdale (Mario Ceniza).
As i have said previously, Cebu has not much good football players 16-up. Majority of good elementary/high school players moves to basketball in college since they can have more money on those sports especially those that are in the 6-foot range. Even 5,7" level players turns out to be very fast point guards with a good deal of stamina, field vision and footwork thrown in. Outside of Manila, nobody beats Cebu in basketball. Remember, the two biggest/brightest upcoming pure locally grown centers in Philippine basketball comes from Cebu namely Slaughter(6'10") and Fajardo(7'1").
As for my general evaluation of the team, a record of 9 goals conceded without netting any speaks for itself.
BTW:
does the word "DEFENSE" exist in the UFL? i see just a bunch of teams that tries to play basketball on a football pitch(run and gun, no structural formation).

I think if they continue to lose, they'll eventually start recruiting none Cebuano players. If we follow the usual Cebuano mentality, they would rather recruit an all imported first XI rather than hire football players from other regions. Take a look at Cebu based basketball pro teams, e.g. Cebu Gems of the defunct MBA. All the players are locals with a bunch of Fil-Ams thrown in. And even those Fil-Ams even have Visayan roots I guess next time, they would field an all-Korean first XI Cebu is literally inundated with Koreans even in the remotest area that you can imagine. Think of middle of nowhere wilderness and you can still see Koreans roaming around.

I think that the usual tendency in lower levels of play to put the best players in the forward slots also has something to do with it. Also that the game is engineered to make it more exciting (and in turn more appealing to fans and sponsors).

Things will turnaround as long as we continue to support the development of football in PH. Including a football team based in Cebu is more of a symbolic gesture rather than an attempt to move pass the knockout stage.

No need to bash the team. UFL's objective is to further football's popularity in the entire country. These regional teams will improve in time, we need them to.

Despite the loss its great to see that there's seems to be a general consensus among the fans, the media and the team's backers to continue the support. To be honest, I had low expectations and I agree it was more of a supportive gesture to field a Cebu team. Yes, it was a humiliating loss and the odds are against them to advance but speaking for myself as a Cebuano and as a fan, it was not the loss. It was the fact that Cebu has a team and I took pride in that. And if I can feel that then more so for those closely involved with CQCU. So kudos. If the backers stay true to their promise and plans then I'm sure they will work on building a team the Sugbuanons will be proud of. Limpag: We are here to stay By Mike T.

IT WAS, as one fan said it, quite a difficult match to watch.
Cebu Queen City United getting hammered on national tv by the Stallions FC, 8-0, in the first ever football match aired live that featured a Cebu club.
Have something to report? Tell us in text, photos or videos.
Disappointing? Yes.
Who wouldn’t be with a scoreline like that. Who wouldn’t be when you knew Cebu could have scored four times.
Confidence-shaking is how coach Mario Ceniza described it.
I’m sure, too, the players, culled from Queen City United, Crazy Horse and Hiroshi FC—clubs who rule regularly in Cebu tournaments--are shattered.
These players are no stranger to seeing 8-0 scorelines, but these were when they were the ones scoring as these three clubs have dominated Cebu football for quite some time.
So, was that 8-0 loss to an Iloilo team a condemning picture of Cebu football?
No, not really. It just highlights the team’s lack of preparation for the UFL Cup because the team had to cram everything—player selection, identifying positions, conditioning, drills—in four short weeks.
Just a month ago, these guys had no inkling they were going to be part of the country’s football landscape, going merrily about their jobs, playing footie at the rubber oval at CCSC just for fun.
And turning guys who haven’t seen a football field in months, and haven’t been in a really competitive match longer to becoming UFL- ready in so short a time?
And, what’s more disappointing in the match?
The players and coaches know they could perform better. They know they could represent Cebu better. They know that at their best, they could give the Stallions a run for their money.
So why did they join the UFL Cup?
Well, I think what helped convinced Queen City when Santi Araneta met them with the officials was when he said they might get the luck of the draw and face the weak teams—and there are weak teams in the UFL Cup.
Then boom, the draw happened. Queen City got in the Group of Death.
But you know what? I think it’s good that Queen City got this draw.
This early, the club knows what it takes to be the best of the UFL because they’ve faced some of the best the UFL can offer. The club officers know what they are getting into and joining the UFL is no walk in the park.
It takes a lot of hard work, planning, sacrifice and training. And of course, a longer time to do it all would be a great help.
And despite the 8-0 scoreline? It wasn’t one-way traffic as Queen City had its moments against the Stallions. It’s just that against any other Cebu club, the defensive lapses Queen City had would have been forgivable.
But in the UFL? Make a mistake and you’d pick the ball at the back of your own net.
But that doesn’t mean there was nothing positive to pick up about the game.
Despite conceding those five goals, I think Cebu actually had a better showing in the second half, as it managed to make goalkeeper Wilson Muñoz earn his money.
As Raffy Fenix, one of the commentators said, Cebu had its chances but just couldn’t capitalize.
“I give Cebu one year, and they’ll be a team in the first division,” Santi told me the other day.
And I like, too, some of the fans’ reaction. Nobody’s leaving the Queen City ship.
“Bawi ra ta!” someone said at the Azkals Sports Bar viewing party.
“It’s a good learning experience,” someone posted online.
Like the Queen City United management, who are willing to go through the process to make the UFL Division 1, their fans are here to stay with them too.
We were once on the outside looking in in the UFL, but thanks to Cebu Queen City United, we now have our own team to follow.
Club football and club football support are slowly gaining ground in Cebu, thanks to the UFL and the pioneering folks of Queen City United.
We’re here to stay and as the fans who watched your game, we’d still be watching.
Against Pachanga on Saturday, we’d still be watching.
So, chin up, guys. www.sunstar.com.ph/cebu/sports/2011/10/23/limpag-we-are-here-stay-186649
