Did Losses To Bahrain Help Azkals?

I think so. An so does Chieffy.

Azkals co-captain Chieffy Caligdong cited their adjustment to the weather and the much higher level of football competency as positives that they can take to the Kuwait match.

Caligdong shone the brightest during the 2 match series, scoring goals for the Azkals in spectacular fashion while bigger guns Phil Younghusband and Angel Guirado were shackled by the Bahraini defense.

The Azkals are already in Kuwait, awaiting the decision on whether team captain Ally Borromeo and Stephan Shrock will be allowed to play in the Kuwait match.

Azkals Advance Despite Loss To Mongolia!

Thank God for James Younghusband.

The less heralded but equally important brother in the Younghusband tandem scored what would prove to be insurmountable points to allow the Philippines to move on to the next stage of the AFC Challenge Cup, despite the 2-1 loss to the Blue Wolves of Mongolia.

Younghusband scored easily in the third minute of the game, leading many pundits to expect the rout that the Azkals have been predicting the last few days.
