The Philippine Azkals
"Askal" or "Azkal", a Fil. street term meaning half breeded, half street dog.
The used-to-be neglected and ignored Philippine football team is becoming one of the most supported and famous sports personalities in the Philippines.
Peole ask "why?" football mania is just starting in the Philippines, is it because of the magically addicting charm of the "beautiful game", or is it the great looking "Azkaleros"? As a self-confessed " azkal-holic" and a typical teenager, I can't deny that one of the reasons millions of girls are watching their games is because of their boyish charms (mostly, because they are half- Fil. And half- foreigner). (though I must confessed I already started appreciating football because of my father wathching The European Premiere League and reading books about football/soccer)
One of the reasons I idolize this team is their passion for the game and their willingness to share it with others. They are also vocal of their Fil. pride, choosing to play for the Phils. instead of their "other" country. Now their hardwork and passion has paid off as they made Filipino history for qualifying in the
FIFA World Cup Qulifiers.
CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!!!!!!!!
