Any fellow pinoy football fans down to watch the UCL finals this Sunday May 31st 12am live at a sports bar?

Open to any gender basta desente at respectful. Preferably in Makati or BGC area. Open din to old and new football fans alike. Sana pinoy rin para makarelate sa humor.

Open din ako for sports bar recos nearby. This could be a one time thing or pati hanggang world cup too. Drop a dm para gawa tayo TG gc hahaha see you!

I always wanted to join a 1v1 football tournament but i just cant find any?

Glad for the news this morning that manC drew their game! Gunners up by 4 points clinching the EPL.

I'm supporting this club for almost 20 years. How does it feel. For me, relief. We have been almost champions for a few years. Now, its official. Next is the champions league.

Congratulations fellow pinoy Gooners!

Where can we watch Fifa world cup 2026 live all games?

Im 30 yrs and i just recently joined football trainings, i am on my 3rd training and planning to play twice a week. Medyo nakaka hiya kasi kasabayan ko, they’re young pero ang galing sa ball control. Yesterday, i tried goalkeeping, 2 of 2 goal agad 🤦🏻‍♂️ How long did you guys take to somehow master or perfect ball control, passing etc and join tournaments? And mayron bang football clubs here na beginner friendly around Manila?

I know there are legit cons, like hooligans, racism, violence, that I understand and don't want to see in the Philippines, but there still countless clubs and fans in the football world, that bring insane energy/passion without problematic behavior, that North American and Asian sports culture rarely have.

For example, I just came back from a week vacation in Croatia. I visited Split, and I noticed how many streets, buildings, etc, you see constant Hadjuk Split street Art. You can see the passion and how much these clubs are ingrained and mean to a community.

And you see with all football clubs whether from England, Spain, Serbia, Greece, Croatia, or in South America like Argentina, you see the videos of the amazing crowds singing, celebrating goals with limbs out.

And even in basketball, you look at countries like Serbia, Greece, or Lithuania, even if Euroleague has vastly inferior level to NBA, those clubs have amazing support and keep this real community based support and investment and bring crowds and energy that I don't think great big NBA teams like the Celtics, Knicks, and hands down Lakers ( lol) ever can bring.

I mean Lithuania is probably only basketball first country in Europe, and their top team Zalgiris in Euroleague has amazing fans, atmosphere, history.

I just look at Philippines and fact PBA promotes fans supporting these souls corporations like San Miguel or Purefoods.

And I love college basketball in the US and get support, but it's crazy Ateneo or La Salle is like closet thing to a community based support for fans in the Philippines and all these colleges are the same based in Manila.

I just feel if it's football and basketball, I wish we had CLUBS, not 'franchises" run by selfish corporate oligarchs, that are run by fans, clubs that don't just stay within the country but can be worldwide.

Barca, Man U, Madrid, even Arsenal reach millions worldwide. Even clubs like Celtic from Scotland or Benfica in Portugal reach across the world ( I believe Benfica have the most members of any football club worldwide).

I don't want to put football culture in a pedestal and romanticize considering what I said earlier about legit negative/toxic aspects hooligans and racism in some cultures, but I see and research all the history from the biggest clubs like Barcelona to even small clubs like Hadjuk Split, you see how real and inspirational these clubs can be.

I wish the Philippines had or can have a club, that represents the working class, gives real pinoys hope, and even stretches to the diaspora.

It's what I feel the Azkals can do one day. Even if we can't make a WC or be a top team, but make the NT something that make pinoys proud is what I wish and frustrates me, pinoys rather obsess over pageantry.

Can anyone here reccomend a shop that sells replica jerseys na maganda ang quality for it's price?

Been planning on buying a FC Barca x Olivia Rodrigo replica and I've been seeing shops like downfield and futbolero ph pero it seems like di maganda jerseys nila after I've read a few posts on this sub.

I’m 18, turning 19 next month, and I’ve been wanting to try playing football competitively, but I honestly don’t know where to start. I know I’m probably not at the level yet and I understand that I’ll need a lot of training and improvement first.

I still want to give it a real shot though. For people who started late or weren’t already in an academy/team setup, how did you begin? Did you join local leagues, train individually first, attend tryouts, or something else?

I’m willing to put in the work, I just don’t really know what the first step should be.

Also, does anyone have football club/training recommendations around Manila that are beginner-friendly but still competitive?

Kind of like "It's coming home for England" or all the chants Argentinians have.

I think popular choices would be Noypi or Pinky Ako by Orange and Lemons.

I feel with how great OPM has been lately ( Not that Bini commercial music) but Rob Deniel, Earl ACup of Joe, or Sunkissed Lola, they can make powerful amazing songs that fans would euphorically sing like the Europeans or South Americans do.

I think Cup of Joe has great vibes to their songs and feel aren't just about romance like Multo and Tingin.

It's why I vouch for football man. All the passion and atmosphere filipinos claim is literally what football brings and even better. I really believe if pinoys had even just respectable football culture, we could be just as passionate as these football crazed nations. I even think we would blow Japanese and Korean fans who are way too timid and crazy like other country fans do.

Lf skills coach for my u8/u9 son. Paranaque location. TIA!
