Azkals Settle for Draw Vs. Sri Lanka

The Philippine Azkals had a dozen close calls to get away with a win in Sri Lanka, but as time expired, the team can only settle for a draw.

Our very own Philippine Football team managed to negate a first half goal by the Sri Lankan team, with the ever-sturdy Chieffy Caligdong hitting the goal just a few minutes into the second half. But just like the black birds who chilled out on the football lawn, it seemed everything went cold for both teams, who also had a lot of physicality against each other. Yellow cards were being slapped one after another just in the first half. Seems to indicate how tight the game was.

In the end, the Azkals are coming home with an away goal advantage to finally seal the deal here in Manila on Sunday, July 3.

A win here will pit the Azkals against Kuwait, which stands at number 48 in the world rankings.

According to sir Christian Soler, this line-up is still subject to further review by the UAAP Eligibility Committee. The final listing of official players that will comprise the roster of each of the 8 UAAP teams will be out after July 5.

But should this list be the final listing, it would seem apparent that this could possibly be the standings by the end of the season:

1. Ateneo De Manila University

2. Adamson University

3. Far Eastern University

4. De La Salle University

5. National University

6. University of Sto. Tomas

7. University of the Philippines

8. University of the East

Please be reminded accordingly that this initial ranking is based solely on the information available from the provided roster, meaning, the number of hold-overs from last season, the number of deductions and additions from the team, the number of years the coach has spent on both the team and in the league, and partly to consider, their recent performances during the summer.

As new information will be provided in the weeks to come, as well as detailed statistical reviews from the experts, the standings in this initial order will definitely be needing editing. Do keep in touch here and at inboundpass for more on UAAP’s Season 74!

Oo Nga Naman 48

Isang babaeng lasing na walang suot na saplot ang pumara at sumakay sa isang taxi.

Tinitigan ng drayber ang kanyang hubad na pasahero.

“O, ano tini-tingin mo d’yan?” Sigaw ng babaeng pasuray pa. “Huwag mong sabihing ngayon ka pa lang nakakita ng ganito?”

“Hindi naman sa ganun…” sagot ng drayber.

“O, e ba’t ganyan ka makatingin?” pagtataray ng pasahero.

“Iniisip ko lang,” sabi ng drayber, “kung saan mo itinago yung pamasahe mo?”
