The Philippines thank their lucky stars as they walk away with a draw vs Taiwan after trailing for 41 minutes. They equalize on injury time. This writer is still wiping tears from his eyes. And nearly fell off his seat. Ian Araneta scores the equalizer in the 90th minute. Phil Younghusband header from a set piece hits the post and a mad scamble inside the pitch ensues when it finds the magical boots of Ian Araneta, who wasted no time in whacking the ball in the goal.

The Philippines lost yesterday to the Hong Kong U23 squad 4-2. The loss was a bit baffling because the Philippines had an 85% possession in the game and had more shots on goal. Hong Kong proved to be more clinical finishers by scoring 2 goals before HT, and 2 more in the last 15 minutes of the match. Phil Younghusband had a chance to give the lead to the Philippines when he found himself 1-1 with the keeper, but his chip shot was sweeped off by a defender. Had he scored he would have had a hat trick after scoring the brace in the first ten minutes of the second half from a penalty. The match is not an A side match and will not affect the rankings of both teams. RP team line-up: (4-4-2) Sacapano; David Basa(RB), Rob Gier and Anton del Rosario (CBs), Jerry Barbaso(LB); James Younghusband(RM), Jason de Jong and Roel Gener (CMs), Chieffy Caligdong(LM); Aly Borromeo and Ian Araneta (FWs) Subs: Phil Younghusband for Jerry Barbaso, others unknown Hong Kong U-23 squad: Yehong Hui, Chen

Mambuntis ka pa sa iskwater at iwanan mo wag mo panagutan at mag crit-walk kayo ng tropa mo dyan sa kanto at pagdating ng hapon mag basketball. Putangina ka. gusto ko talaga sampalin yang mukha mo. yung sobrang lakas na tatalsik yung dugo mo sa dingding. Putangina ka talaga! ABA - Agta Basketball Association Pinagtatawanan na nga

pandak. ano pa ba masasabi ko? PWEH! gising pinoy gising! walang kayong mararating sa basketball. lahat na lang ginawa na ninyo para lang magwagi sa basketball. let me count the ways: 1. hired an american coach - resulta? nothing. 2. send an all professional line up - resulta? wala pa rin. 3. send half of a champion team in the PBA, mix them up with some of the best players in the league at the time like Alvin Patrimonio, Johnny Abbarientos and a couple of amature standouts. - result? olats. shempre. ano pa ba? 4. hire fil-ams - result? konting improvement, made them a bit more competetive pero pandak pa rin compared sa mga chinese. 5. train for 2 years, send big men to big mens training camp in the US, as well as watch a Phoenix Suns game para kopyahin yung style nila - result? olats. nagulat pa sa mga middle eastern teams na naturally malalaki at bulky. two years before nilalampaso lang ng Pinas, ngayon pinagtatawanan na ang Pinas. baket kaya? kasi MALALAKI!
