Cambodia beat timor leste to qualify for the aff suzuki cup

Cambodia beat Timor leste, in the 2016 aff championship qualification where Cambodia, Laos, Brunei and Timor leste had to fight it out to win a place at the finals.

I guess not many people know, i watched the highlights, some matches were played in the rain. Cambodia are riding on a flow, even beating Singapore for teams in this region for results recently.

They have young players, the important thing is that, they all can run, a lack of resources is a issue, but they manage to beat so many teams in this round, in the end they earn a place in the aff finals.

I have seen some facebook post and blogs on Cambodian football. Some in English and some in local languages, their fans are many, a substantial amount of supporters.

I only remember the Korean coach, his face, he left a impression on me, maybe the players can benefit more by going to Thailand and by impressing scouts, i hope one day they can do that, create a name, earn money and then go back to their home country and built a better homeland for their families and the football scene.

Throwback friday, brendon santalab

This is brendon santalab, this super sub, who once played for the eagles.

He was a goal scorer in the league, then now he is still, i saw it live on tv, i was watching the a league, he scored from the bench.

He has a physical upper body built like a bull, whereby he can out muscle the other players.

This post below show him in jersey from his current club the western sydney wanderers, where he is now playing at.

Jdt knocked out of afc cup by bengaluru

I have just written about strikers, the issue has deepen, jdt lost, lost of their stars players cause many problems.

Bengaluru is strong with their chosen players, nevertheless, they are a level up at least, this season.

Desire is the key difference, mental toughness and character, the video post is shown below.

hong kong league similar to sleague in terms of issues

The connection between me and Hong Kong football has come so far, i follow some clubs, every now and then i have seen how Hong Kong is like, what is happening and so on.

Firstly their football scene have only a few teams that have been around, then they also have their bookmakers issue, they also have some sort of foreign teams in their league.

The list can go on and on, before the digital age it was hard to know stuff in real time, now it is easier. the recent issue is the club location to be used for housing, i do not know who cock up, 1 year now later they say next year take back the land.

It has to be the same like singapore, hard times. The link to the news is here below.

AFC under 19 championship results, vietnam draw with uae

I have just written about the results, Vietnam is really getting a hook on things.

They dare and drew with uae, the video post below show it.

Like i have touch upon, the desire, Thailand have size and physical shape but they even got a red card in the games recently, either they do not want to play in their heart already or simply played sluggishly.

The same for north korea, their focus once lost, they lose, only a few in the team fight on.

In south east asia, we face a striker crisis, i do not know at the management level do they understand or know this issue. no goals hard to win games. not to say even the midfield or other positions, borrow this format from here, there, anywhere but lose. develop your own lah. Good that some technology is being used to help and keep a number on their performance, this is one step made well.

If it works we all know can lah, it is not working. I not not talking about bringing in import players or half blood, the local boys can reach the standard, maybe just longer or they are using the skill not most of the time, most importantly, not even pushing the limit, 100% not even there.

This is the only thing i can do, blog, some of the seniors of the blogging or internet have said this many times.

Vietnam seem to take it serious at most levels, the players themselves i guess take it upon, i do not want to talk about things that can be measured, all are available online for all to see.

Something special about Vietnam, let see where they go in this tournament.

Global fc loses to ceres 5 - 0

Global fc lost to ceres, that is expected, they have already won the league. the question is will the azkals play to their strengths for the aff suzuki cup, that i am not sure, with their talents from overseas, some are not in the plans, either by choice or otherwise.

I hope that the full capacity of the azkals will be release, then a great show for the fans, for the Philippines and grow the sport more.

Some of the players have a great manly look, some of the players look like movie stars, capitalize, deal, most importantly mix it with what works and try to sell. Football is big money business now, deal with it.

AFC under 19 championship results

The AFC under 19 games have started, with the results out, south korea, japan, Uzbekistan and Australia have winning games for the opening.

The shock is that Vietnam won against north korea. the video is shown below.

For the others, Iran and Qatar draw, the Saudi lost also, home advantage for Bahrain. This shows yet again that youth development is key, only the Vietnam team have desire and played constantly for the banner of asean.

In south east asia, fitness, size and most importantly people management, in this region, human resource is not well managed. i shall not say about the skills, issues involved, all are related.
