Schrock, Phil, Misagh to miss World Cup tiff vs Uzbekistan

By: 


FACING powerhouse Uzbekistan in its own stadium is a tough proposition as it is, but going to battle without some of your squad’s top players makes the task doubly difficult.
The Azkals left for Tashkent Saturday night without stars Stephan Schrock and Phil Younghusband who will both sit out the World Cup Qualifying match on March 24 due to injuries.
Younghusband, the country’s top international scorer, has yet to play for his club, Loyola Meralco, this year due to a knee problem while Schrock failed to make the trip after struggling with a leg injury during a recent AFC Cup game in Bangladesh.


The absence of the two players has left a huge void on the Azkals attack which will already miss the suspended winger Misagh Bahadoran.
Manny Ott, who has made the central midfield position as his own under coach Thomas Dooley, is also serving a suspension, while Rob Gier, Jerry Lucena and Paul Mulders have retired from international play.
Goalkeeper Neil Etheridge, Patrick Reichelt, Iain Ramsay, Javier Patino, Daisuke Sato, Luke Woodland, Martin Steuble, Simone Rota, Amani Aguinaldo and Juani Guirado are the remaining players in the side.

“It’s going to be very difficult but we can always see this as an opportunity for other players to step up,” said Azkals manager Dan Palami.

Dooley tapped young players for his squad, including OJ Porteria, Kenshiro Daniels, OJ Clarino, Jorrel Aristorenas, Jim Ashley Flores and Dominic del Rosario.

    1. i don't think it's productive to announce the final squad when they're mostly gonna be newbies

    2. I beg to differ, PFF still should announce the final squad. Injuries, suspensions are part of football, you can't please anybody, but its PFF's job. Are we going to learn the final squad from FIFA first, or perphaps even the Uzbek federation.

      What kind of a dumb ass comment is that?!?! That's like saying the PFF or even the media shouldn't report on the matches the MNT loses. Idiot! Only in the Philippines would you get dumbassery like that!!

    2. Nasasaktan yata kayo pag may homegorwns ah. Sorry ha pero medyo maliit nlng budget Palami kaya unti unti nang may Homegrowns. Mga 'Slave to Foreigners" mentality kasi mga utak nyo palagi...

      Delete
    3. hindi kami nasaktan dahil meron kaming kilala na mga homegrown players. ikaw yung racist. allergic sa foreigners haha

    5. hoy ulol hindi mo alam anong ibig sabihin ng racist mag diksyonaryo ka.. ikaw lang palagi nagsasabi ng foreigner at fil foreigner sa mga post na ito. sa tingin mo yun lang ang standard ng football. mag coach ka ng u23 kaya sa filipino team halos homegrown talents dun. at bihira lang cla manalo. traydor2 ka pa dyan mister know how. parang alam mo kung paano mag manage team e pawang mag type ng foreigner2, palami o anong reklamo lang ang alam mong gawin

    6. Mas ulol ka at gago! Ayaw nyo maging racist pero pag kayo masabi parang nasa tama na at hindi na pwedeng pagsabihan. Ikaw ang Bobo na fan at wlang ka alam alam dahil puro panalo lang ngayon ang alam mo Gago!!! Hindi ka ba nag interview ng mga coaches kung bakit palaging talo ang koponana natin? Dahil ba Homegrowns ay talo na agad? Teka, para matoto ka Totoy magbasa ka ng mabuti ha. Ang mga coaches ay kayagn ipanalo ang mga laban ng bawat age group sa Philippine Football as long as bibigyan sila ng tamang panahon sa pag train na isang team at dapat ito magmula nung edad pa nila ay nasa 10 -12 yrs old , isang paaralan o kaya academy na para lng sa mga manlalarong football sa bansa , sabay na mag train at pipiliin yung mga elite talaga sasanayin mga ilang taon bago sasabak sa laban pero kung ang ginagawa natin na band aid mentality kagaya ng nakasanayan ninyo na kuha lng ng kuha sa ibang bansa ay panandalin pa rin ang paag angat dahil nakasandal palagi tayo sa kanila. Short term lng ito ulol! tayo pa sin ang kawawa sa huli dahil wla tayong produkto. Sa mga taong katulad mo na madali lng pasayahin sa mga panadaliang solusyon then you are not visionary fan or footballer , isa ka lng bandwagon fan.

    7. Matagal na talagang problema yan ang grassroots. Kahit yung mga ibang fans na sumusunod doon sa senior azkals alam yun. Mali lang naging banat ni @10:08 na parang sinabing talunan yung mga homegrowns.

      Problema kasi yung PFF, nagtatry-outs lang para sa mga youth tournaments tapos disband uli, tapos buo uli ng bagong team.

      Kung yung sistema lang naman ang binabatikos, bakit dadamayin pa yung mga fil-fors na parang kasalanan nila na ipinanganak sila sa abroad. Yung opisyales yung pumipili sa lineup, nagpapatakbo nung sistema.

      Sabi lang naman nung nauna, magkakaroon ng pagkakataon yung mga homegrowns... tapos! wala naman sinabi nung una na nasaktan siya na may homegrown.

    8. dami mo nga alam. pero puro ka lang daldal na daldal dyan. inakusahan mo pa kami na bandwagon at kung ano pang mga bullshit tawag na feeling makabayan at martyr bullshit. syempre alam namin yan. at alam nang mga manager ng azkals yan hindi sila gago katulad ng inaakala mo. wala pa naman silang nakita na magandang sistema na ma scout dito sa pinas o grassroots system na maganda dahil walang pera. cge kung gusto mo makatulong magdonate ka ng football Academy, o kaya pera sa grassroots natin dahil kung walang PERA wala rin ang lahat. kung wala silang makitang mas experience na players dito, they will still scout for more experienced players at wala ka ng magagawa dyan kundi magreklamo. mag manager ka. dahil ang dami mong alam sa scouting at kung paano kumuha ng magandang local talents. dahil akala mo kasi madali lang yun. dahil akala mo nakakita ka na ng philippine youth team u-14 team na halos hindi na makapunta sa kanilang asean tournament dahil walang proper funding mabuti na lang ang daddy ng isang player sa team ay engineer at nasponsoran sila. akala mo madali lang yun ang mga sinasabi mo. dahil hindi gago.. bago mo batikusin ang sinumang manager, batikusan mo rin ang gobyerno dahil walang suporta. kung gusto mo tumulong magdonate ka sa kanila ng milyones o mas mabuti bilyones. dahil sa totoo lang wala talagang maitutulong ang mga comment mo dito. tumulong ka na lang sa local talents natin at mag sponsor ka. dahil kung walang support wala talaga. same story

    9. kaya nga di maka gawa team na from bata kasi wala budget .. expect nyo ba c palami pa gagastos sa youth team? aba yaman naman nya.. pasponsor nga kami din sa team namin .. lets be realistic .. unless makahanap budget and if mtapos ang corruption mentality natin mga pinoy wala talaga ta budget for long term development .. kahit pa mgtapon tayo pera sa youth system if mga tao naka upo corrupt den wala talaga development sa youth .. kaya nga natapos yung dati coke go for goal kasi ung mga regional FA corrupt.. ung pera na pinapadala nla for sponsorship and development sa local FA binubulsa ..
