Philippine Azkals Clobbers Sri Lanka

One of the favorite topics I collect on stamps is football. Even before the Philippines got into the fever with the rise of the Philippine Azkals lately, I loved football together with basketball.

I was glued watching today's game on tv as the Philippine Azkals dominated the game against Sri Lanka who was no match to the passing, solid defense and goal keeping employed by the team.

The Azkals advances to the next round of the World Cup Qualifiers after defeating Sri Lanka 4-0 in a game at the Rizal Memorial Stadium that accommodated 13,000 fans. Their next stop is to defeat Kuwait this month.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Philippine Postal Corporation (Philpost) comes up with a stamp featuring the Azkals in the near future just like what they did to Manny Pacquiao who has his own stamp.

Go, go, go Philippine Azkals!
