I GOT a couple of queries through email recently, both from expats concerning their favorite sports—football.
The English and American variety.
Though both were about different sports, they share the same sentiment—for them, there isn’t enough football in local cable channels.

WE GOT so serious the past few issues it’s killin’ my two running companions’ creative juices.
Suspension this, suspension that and before we know it, we’d be in suspended animation.
Whew, let’s take a break, shall we?

PAREF-Springdale took the solo lead in Group A of the Boys 17 division as they clinched their third victory in the 12th Aboitiz Football Cup with a lopsided win over Guiseppe yesterday at the Aboitiz Sports field.
Paref-Springdale trampled Guiseppe, 21-0, and remained undefeated in the tournament.
Forward Bran Go was the man of the match as he logged six goals for Paref-Springdale, while Mikel Alazas, Bernard Montayre and Jon Young played the supporting cast for their ace scorer as they added three goals each.
THERE are so many ways to settle a conflict.
What Southwestern University athletic director Ryan Aznar did wasn’t one of them.
Three players from SWU were suspended for playing in another event. Aznar thought they shouldn’t be.
POLITICIANS who fight for sports development are a good thing.
Politicians who bring their fighting in sports are not.
The mess that Joy Young and Mary Ann delos Santos are in is not only comical, but also disappointing.
EMPLOYEES from the BPO industries and those from Mactan will get a chance to stoke their competitive fire in the 1st Home Sweet Home Spa Football Festival at the San Roque fields next Sunday.
The event, which will have teams playing 9-aside matches in 10-minute halves, will have the men’s and women’s divisions.
Teams who have signed up so far for this Sunday’s event are Convergys, Sykes, Aegis People Support, Teletech, Lexmark and NCR.
Organizers have also invited teams from the Mactan Export Processing Zone.
These teams also join open competitions organized by other groups but usually fare badly when they face the more established clubs or school-based teams.
Since they want to play in a more level playing field, football players from the competiting companies have decided to organize themselves and hold a tournament for “weekend” warriors.
They will play a single round robin with the top teams advancing to the knockout stage.

MAYBE because of its nature, running, kinda makes you schizophrenic.
You mean like this? Reallyreallyreally?
Hey, you’re still here?
When you start struggling, your friends pop up. You know, friends whom you listen to when you’re alone and you debate between drinking and working.

PAREF-Springdale of Unit 6 retained its title in the secondary division football tournament of the Cebu City Olympics after a come-from-behind penalty shootout victory over Abellana National School (ANS) of Unit 9 yesterday at the Cebu City Sports Complex.

I REALLY thought the Cesafi provision on a player’s residency requirement was vague—what with the confusion on its interpretation and all.
A gray area, they call it. But, I think there are no gray areas in it.
