Azkals Beat Maldives, 2-0, in Tune-Up Match at Rizal Memorial Sports Complex

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Cautiously optimistic.

This was the latest term used by Azkals manager Dan Palami as he assessed the Philippine national football team’s chances four days before the all-important game against a motivated Uzbekistan on Sept. 8 at the Philippine Sports Stadium in Bocaue, Bulacan.

For his part, Azkals coach Thomas Dooley remained grounded, telling the Azkals that Uzbekistan is a strong team with players exposed to top level matches in Europe and Asia.

“We are up against a team that is in 76th place (in the FIFA rankings) with players who have regional experience,” Palami said. The Azkals are ranked 125th in the August FIFA rankings.

He said some players of Uzbekistan are playing in regional football leagues with strong teams, giving them formidable experience and exposure to tough competition. One of the Uzbek players, Server Djeparov, is a two-time Asian footballer of the year, while others play in Russian football clubs like Odil Akhmedov and Vitaliy Denisov.

Based on the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) website, Uzbekistan is considered one of the best football teams in Asia along with football powerhouses Iran, South Korea, Japan, Australia, United Arab Emirates, and China.

#Relationshipgoals or #Thanksbutnothanks: Food Pairs As Actual Couples

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Here’s one for all the singles (#hugot)—name your most annoying couple friends (oh come on, we all have one). They’re the couple who just can’t stop talking to each other, about each other and even for each other (yes, some finish each other’s sentences). If they were food, they’d be burgers and fries, because they just can’t get enough!

Read on to see what some of the best food pairs would be like as actual couples:

1. The PDA (Public Display of Affection) Couple: Burgers and Fries

Ugh. Whether these two are fighting or just going to the supermarket, they just can’t keep their hands off each other. These over-sharers’ posts are the most recurrent you see when scrolling through your news feed. They spend more time kissing than talking—and if they do, it’s in annoying baby talk. Again, ugh.

2. The Always-Arguing Couple: Coffee and Cake

They’re literally hot one day, cold another. These two love each other, but in such strange ways. Both are strong, opinionated and autonomous and don’t like to be told what to do. None of them surrenders or admits defeat easily—which makes your barkada’s game nights extra competitive.

3. The Secret Affair Couple: Salt and Caramel

Paranoid glances around the room, secretive hand touching, giggling, and looking intensely in each other’s eyes. This pair can’t go unnoticed, as they bring out each other’s flavours. They think people don’t know they love each other, but everybody knows—stop trying to hide it already!

4. The Couple that Never Goes Out: Milk and Cookies

They are so wrapped up with each other that you forget if you’ve seen either of them the last month. They always opt to stay in to cuddle on the couch, watching romantic comedies, while you cuddle with your pillow…

5. The Effortlessly Cool Couple: Cheese and Wine

They look like best friends and fight like brother and sister, but the most astounding characteristic is the balance between independence and interdependence. They are separate people with separate interests, yet when they come together it’s like a match made in heaven. #goals
