| to tell you the truth... i only got hooked at football just 2002. and its not by tv (EPL and la liga games are only aired at espn last 2005 i think, and i dont even have cable) or internet or by even somebody's raving for football. i got it from the fifa 2002 game out of curiosity. well in that game, chelsea's roster sucks wahehe. man u is a power. in a way i have seen my fave teams improve. i love chelsea because they have starpower, regardless of the sources hehe. i love man u because they are really gutsy, they just dont quit, they are just like cinderella, and if you allow me, like barangay ginebra. and i love them because they beat chelsea for the championship, take that chelsea! i love several teams in europe. and the thing is when i watch these teams play its like WOW. the way you experience the beautiful game is like magic. more magical than even the basketball. for me, an average filipino citizen who grew up football is american gridiron, its just a shame we are not even looking at this games potential. right now i love football. its just a shame i dont have the means to enjoy it. im envy you guys for watching an actual game. thats superb. why else would all other countries go gaga in a game so simple yet so complex. why would people go ballistic when their team lost, even when their team won. filipinos have a lot of heart. i wish football grow in philippine soil. football will love filipinos for just that ^_^ |

| It is surprise to have heard of a filipino couple who are football fans. I do hope and pray that your children will inherit your hobby and passion for football. It is just so rare a phenomenon in such a country as the Philippines to have people like you. Your family could be a starting point for the football development in the Philippines in no time. I do believe that a thousand steps begins with one. |

| coach, my friend and i also got into the same situation when we watched an DC United - Galaxy game. We were rooting for DC but we were seated beside some drunk Hispanics so clapping our hands was the best cheer we could do. Hehe. Happy Birthday di-ay! Wishing you good health and more football stories to write! -Rene USC #3 |

| Jack, you are very lucky to have a lifelong partner who shares the same passion as you do! Watching the community shield between two of english footballs modern rivals is such an experience. What makes it more exciting is the fact that you guys are watching it behind enemy lines! |

| Virma, the Little Red Devil... LOL. Jack, the nickname fits her very well. Virma and I will also get along well. I'm a Man U with our without Becks. I just love the excitement and controversy they bring into the game. Got to love the mind games Fergie plays with the other coaches as well as his players. Much like the way Phil Jackson had with Bulls back when he and MJ was with them. i'd give it you and Virma sitting with all the "Blues". Wow and the price you paid for those tickets was ridiculous but I guess it was worth every penny of it. I did watch that game in StarHub cable here in Singapore. Van de Sar was brilliant. Saving 3 possible goals during the penalty shoot-out. I jump off our old beaten-down TV couch on his 2nd and 3rd save. glad to read your article, I always make it a point to read all your articles. God bless and stay safe my friend and give my regards to Virma. |

| Hi Jack, I will get along well with Vilma, me being a red devil fan since 1978. Again, I can only say, the hands of faith have dealt you a great hand by planting you in the UK and thus the opportunity to visit the new Wembly. Undoubtedly it will establish itself as one of the greatest football meccas. Already, players left and right have commented on the special atmosphere it has the moment you step onto the pitch. Both United and the Spurs arent off to the best start. We lost Rooney and it seems you have lost Berbatov. To Dino, i share your grief at espn/star sports. Two weeks in and still no man utd games (Although i feel it would have been painful watching the two draws utd have come up with. Dont worry, its still early in the season and we will be at the right end of the table come the new year). They have the manchester derby coming up this sunday and they will not show that either in the Philippines. One of the most heated rivalries in the premiership and we will probably end up with a Brimingham game (no offense to their manager, Steve Bruce, a red devil legend). Again, give them a piece of your mind at their website (espnstar.com). I already have given them my monthly tongue lashing. Anyway, Jack, keep it going with your columns. Its really refreshing, a touch of home in the capital of world football. |

| omg omg, I envy you so much right now. to have watched a game that close, holy crap that's nice. As much as I would've gone to the red side and burst an eardrum with all the cheering, I like how you guys cooly sat in the blues side tho, haha, nice touch. It would've suck though if ManU won, but that penalty shootout was magic. Both our teams lost out in the opening games tho, ManU drew with reading and Tottenham lost. blah. Heck, ManU had another draw yesterday with Portsmouth, they already lost Rooney and Ronaldo got sent off. I'm getting seriously worried now. But still, I hate local cable. Not a single ManU match being televised the whole month. I hate it. |
