But still, I bet all of us were happy when we saw some of our favorite players who we haven't seen out on the fields lately: James Younghusband, Phil Younghusband, Roland Muller, Jason de Jong, and Angel Guirado.
I was pretty surprised to see James wearing the captain's armband, supposing that either Chieffy Caligdong or Aly Borromeo would take the role as Captain. But unfortunately, Chieffy Caligdong couldn't play at last night's game due to an injury that he got in a game with his local club, the Philippine Arm Force who are currently at the 7th place in the UFL League. While, Aly Borromeo still hasn't gotten over an unexplained injury that has made him absent for football games for quite a while now.
I was also kind of glad Roland Muller was playing as goalkeeper for the Philippines, filling in for Neil Etheridge. Did you guys know he's German? Yeah, I just found out about that a few days ago.
Almost all of the people who attended the game at the Maktoum Stadium last night were Filipinos. You could hear the screams our Pinay fans made whenever the Philippines were in possession.
The next game of the Azkals would be on Feb. 13 against the Al Ahli which time has not yet been confirmed by Studio 23. But the game against Australia would be on Feb. 16 at 11 pm, kickoff starting at 12 midnight.
