FEU overcomes twice-to-beat Adamson

It must have been heart-breaking for Adamson. They had just come off breaking the winning streak of Ateneo and thwarting the Blue Eagles’s quest for a 14-game sweep. They had the twice-to-beat advantage over FEU. Their fans confidently touted that it was their time and cheered for “One Clean Fight.”

Unfortunately, FEU shoved a bitter pill down their throat.

I love watching these two teams play. They play gritty, body-slamming, teeth-clenching basketball. They definitely have the crowd support. Their students fill the coliseum and shriek their adoration.  That’s what I love with college basketball.  It’s difficult not to get caught up in the emotion.

Football fans

The picture above represents the sad state of affairs of football fandom in the Philippines. In the Fort Bonifacio area, only a few restaurants were airing the game of the Philippine Azkals versus Myanmarr. The Azkals only needed a draw to advance to the semifinals.  The people inside the restaurant didn’t even know that the game it was being aired. We had just beaten powerhouse Vietnam, which is comparable to a PBL team beating San Miguel as described by a notable sportswriter, and we were about to enter into the semifinals for the first time and very few people knew about it.
