Sports Weekend and the Week that Was

Hi everyone!

I just got back from a trip and then kaboom! Sports in the news for many good reasons and for some really embarrassing ones. First is our guy, often mistaken as me (hahaha! pare ang layo!), Phil Younghusband retires with the most number of goals, from the Azkals Philippine National Men's Football Team.

In an Instagram post, the 32-year-old Fil-British striker said he was "hanging up his boots." 

Younghusband is the top goalscorer in Philippine history, with 52 goals in 108 caps. 

Thank you Captain Phil!

And still, in football, Cavite Football Academy is the Champions for the Born 2009 Alaska Cup 2019.

Southeast Asian Games is here now and Cavite Province hosts several events. Tagaytay City hosts Cycling and Skateboarding while Ayala Land Vermosa in Imus hosts Underwater Hockey. There will be football matches too which be held at the Imus Sports Oval in Baranggay Malagasang. This is also the home of the Imus United Football Club.

And with all the news about SEA Games, we cannot escape the complains and disdain of athletes coming from participating nations about the lack of coordination from the organizers themselves. Sad it is happening but I am hopeful that this will be addressed immediately.

Let's take a look at some of them:

• SEA Games Organizers sorry for inconvenience, confusion
• Philippine football team suffers the same SEA Games accommodation woes
• SEA Games hosting starts on the wrong foot
• SEA Games footballers from 4 countries get messy reception

In basketball, the Chooks to Go National Basketball Training Center has officially begun and the five areas in Cavite went full blast over the weekend. Check out the photos and results below:
