FEU attempts to complete UAAP treble today
The quest to replicate their UAAP treble is on the minds of Far Eastern University as they go on the field for the finals in men's and women's football today at the Rizal Memorial Stadium.
Kicking things off will be the women's final between the Lady Tamaraws and the University of the Philippines.
Both teams ended up level on points at the end of the eliminations, but the Lady Maroons ended on top of the standings with a superior goal difference, thanks to the efforts up front by national team standout Cristina delos Reyes and youth standouts Mary Rose Obra and Kali Navea-Huff.
Under the leadership of Anto Gonzales, UP is seeking its first-ever UAAP crown, while FEU under Let Dimzon is looking to annex its third straight title, fourth in the last five years, and tenth overall.
Season 75 MVP Barbie Sobredo will lead the defending champions, who also have veterans like Alesa Dolino and Amita sisters (Analou and Jenelyn) to counter against that offense.
After the women's final, the men take to the field, with La Salle seeking to deny FEU a chance to defend their crown while ending their 17-year title drought.
DLSU managed to make a return trip to the finals for the first time in almost a decade by downing rivals Ateneo, 1-0, last week. The Green Booters remained unbeaten after Gelo Diamante's 88th minute strike. Head coach Hans Smit, believes that the squad "needs to be ready, mentally and psychologically" to be able to win the school's fifth title.
Goalkeeper Paeng de Guzman will be tasked to foil the goal-scoring exploits of Eric Giganto, Arnel Amita, and Jesus Melliza, who combined to score 39 goals in the eliminations. Helping him with this responsibility are defenders Matthew Nierras, Nico Villacin, Noel Brago, Greggy Yang, and Gerald Layumas.
FEU, on the other hand, needed extra time to upend UP, 1-0, in the other semifinal, as Amita scored the lone goal of the match on a rebound off his missed penalty in the 99th minute, keeping their hopes of defending their title alive.
The Manila Jeepney midfielder believes that due to the relative easy accessibility of Rizal Memorial to La Salle, the Green Booters would have a distinct homefield advantage. He adds that their finals opponent is also very strong on both sides of the ball, but they will continue to attack and never surrender.
Both games will be telecast LIVE on ABS-CBN Sports and Action, starting at 2pm.
Meanwhile, yesterday, the first step of securing the treble was successfully made, as the Baby Tamaraws overcame a couple of obstacles to secure a hotly-contested 2-1 win over Ateneo at the artificial turf field of FEU-Diliman and successfully defend their Juniors crown.
The younger Blue Booters went ahead eight minutes in, as Jodi Layug scored the opening goal of the match eight minutes in. The boys of head coach JP Merida would even get a personnel advantage after Nickael Ferrer was sent off for a foul in the first half.
However, Gio Pabualan tied the game for the Baby Tamaraws just before the break. Mark Arranguez would then put the soon-to-be five-time champions ahead in the 61st minute.
Ateneo tried to find an equalizer, but they were unable to convert those scoring opportunities from the likes of Jarvey Gayoso.
The closer it got to the end, the more intense the game got, with both sides getting a player sent off in the dying minutes, ending up with a 10-on-9 matchup, and with both benches and crowds incensed at the officiating.
In the end, the boys of Kim Chul Su were able to retain the championship, which is their fifth in the brief history of the Juniors tournament.

The Trequartista Sweeper - Dissecting UAAP Season 75 women's football
I decided to delve further into the case of this season's women's football standings, not only because there are only five teams in it, but also delving into whether UP is really still alive or not. This was after watching the results last Sunday and after telling UP women's football coach Kleng Cacacho about it. Thus, I went fact-checking whether I was providing false hope.
The table below reflects the standings after the first round. Do note that only the top two teams can advance to the finals.
If the Lady Maroons had swept the next round, they would finish with 13 points, which would have made them safe, provided the other schools do not hit 14 points, which would happen with FEU winning twice, or Ateneo or UST winning twice and a draw.
Now UP lost to Ateneo, 1-0 and UST lost to La Salle, 2-1. Thus, this is now the rankings after the matches last week.
The loss against Ateneo placed the Maroons in an interesting pickle. Sweeping the rest of the matches will get them to ten points, the same number of points as Ateneo, so they will have to hope that no one else other than Ateneo gets to more than ten. Is it still feasible? Yes, but on my initial interpretation, they'll need to win out AND for Ateneo to win out AND for FEU, La Salle and UST to play out their matches against each other to draws.
FEU - vs DLSU, Ateneo, UP and UST = 2 pts = 10pts
UST - vs Ateneo, UP and FEU = 1 pt = 8 pts
La Salle - vs FEU, Ateneo and UP = 2 pts = 8 pts
Last Sunday, La Salle and FEU played out to a goalless draw, and so did Ateneo against UST. Here is the updated standing after the latest results.
Ateneo drawing with UST still meant that UP still needs to win all of its matches AND hope that Ateneo wins all of its matches AND for UST and FEU to end up with a draw when they play each other on February 10.
So yes, there is still a chance for UP, a small chance. But that is a chance worth taking and hoping for the Lady Maroons.

Philippines falls short in AFC U-19 Women's Campaign
The Philippines' Under-19 women's team missed out on the quest to advance in the AFC Women's U-19 competition, finishing third in the qualifiers held on October 17-21 at the Rizal Memorial Stadium.
The ladies began the tournament on a high note, winning against Hong Kong, 2-0. The goals came from Jean Bridgette Kadil and Christina de los Reyes. The Filipinas dominated their Hong Kong counterparts, with the scoreline not reflecting their performance. They were unable to convert from their plentiful opportunities in the first half, but Kadil and de los Reyes's goals proved to be enough to secure the full three points.
A couple of days later, they faced a Myanmar side fresh from a 3-1 win against Chinese-Taipei. The Filipinas never got on track, with missed opportunities for the hosts, while the visitors managed to put up 17 shots on goal en route to a 4-0 victory. The Filipinas also committed defensive lapses that their opponents took advantage. These two wins ensured the 2013 SEAG hosts officially book their entry into next phase of qualification, something they definitively showed in their final qualification match, a 8-0 win over Hong Kong.
The Philippines still had a chance to advance, but they will need to win in their final match against Chinese-Taipei, who had bounced back with a 5-0 win over Hong Kong a couple of days earlier. It was unfortunate for the hosts that Chinese-Taipei scored the only goal of the match on a lob by Pan Yen Hsin over Inna Palacios in the 35th minute. There were plentiful opportunities for the Filipinas to find an equalizer, but chances from the likes of de los Reyes and Camille Rodriguez were stopped by the defense.
Myanmar and Chinese-Taipei now join Jordan, Iran, Uzbekistan and India in the next phase of qualification to take place at Vietnam in early December. Joining the six qualifiers are the hosts as well as Thailand. From the eight entrants in the 2nd round of qualification, only one nation will emerge to join Japan, DPR Korea, Korea Republic, China and Australia to determine the AFC's representatives in the FIFA Women's U-20 World Cup, which Canada is to host in 2014.
The Philippine contingent to the AFC Women's Under-19 team is composed of the following:
1 - Erika Lorraine Turtur
2 - Inna Kristianne Palacios (c)
3 - Maria Mikaela Asedillo
5 - Sarah Jane Banagodos
6 - Cheska Jane Toledo

Flag flap marks Day 1 of Olympics
The Opening Ceremonies have not yet started, and London 2012 is off to an embarrassing start.
Olympic competition has already begun, with women's football being one of the events that will commence before the actual parade of athletes and all that pomp. One should be pleased with the come-from-behind victory by the United States over France, 4-2, but the next match will probably take all the headlines away.
In Hampden Park in Glasgow, the North Korean women's football team refused to start their match against Colombia in protest for the South Korean flag being displayed alongside the North Korea players on the screen. Their match was delayed for slightly over an hour, as the organizers were able to persuade the team to eventually play.
Subsequently, the London Committee for the Olympic Games (LOCOG) released the following statement:
Today ahead of the women's football match at Hampden Park, the South Korean flag was shown on a big screen video package instead of the North Korean flag. Clearly that is a mistake," organizers said. "We will apologize to the team and the National Olympic Committee and steps will be taken to ensure this does not happen again.It is important to remind everyone that North and South Korea remain technically at war, thus this would be a really really sensitive matter that you do not overlook. I mean, how difficult would it be to know the difference between the two flags here.
Considering that Pyongyang has nuclear weapons and that South Korea's Pyeongchang is hosting the 2018 Winter Olympics, it is a reminder of reality setting in a little bit.
