I DON’T mind if the Azkals don’t want to be disturbed as they wrap up the last few modules of their “Let’s Get Exclusive Seminar,” including in-depth lectures on “Giving the Local Paparazzi the Runaround” and “Playing Hard to Get.”
So let’s leave them in peace, until this afternoon when they’ve freshened up to face their adoring fans in a clinic somewhere in Mandaue City, Cebu.
In the meantime, I’ll dwell on the more important stuff, such as the Uefa Champions League (CL) Final between FC Barcelona and Manchester United that will kick off a few hours from now.

Villaflor: A football tragedy in three parts
by Noel S. Villaflor
“IT is convenient, for the purposes of analysis,” says the English novelist Martin Amis in an essay, “to look at the history of England managership since 1970 as a drama, or tragedy, in three parts or phases.”
For Amis, the common denominator of these phases is the “nervous breakdown” of three of the national team’s managers, (hence the title of his essay, “Football Mad”).
One can make sense of the history of Philippine football using Amis’ approach, from its downward spiral to its current struggle for redemption.
