After a 5-1 aggregate score between the Philippine Azkals VS the Sri Lankan Brave Reds, the Philippine national football team's next set of games will be against Kuwait's Al Azraq for the continuance of the World Cup qualifiers. The first leg will be on July 23, 2011 at Hawally, Kuwait and the second match will be on July 28, 2011 at the Rizal Memorial Stadium in Manila, Philippines.
This game that the Azkals won against the Brave Reds was the first time the team technically took a step closer to qualify for the football World Cup. But as they grow closer to their goal of playing in Brasil for the 2014 games, the Azkals' challenge seemed to be getting more complicated as days go by. This time, they have to face one of the strongest football teams of the Middle East - the Kuwait Al-Azraq.
Both teams have a FIFA rank of more than #100 with the Azkals in #159 and Al-Azraq in #102. Now even if the Azkals would ultimately look like underdogs in this upcoming match, they might as well try to do their best to beat out their opponent or else it's just another shameful addition to their long history of failed attempts to qualify for the World Cup and a huge disappointed to the million of fans that were supporting them.
As an Azkal supporter, this is just too thrilling to watch. So definitely I'll be in Hawally to see the match even if it's on a Saturday. Hopefully the game will be set after 3 PM!
Go Azkals!
