Phil appreciates us, too

I'm just praying he doesn't actually visit the site and read these embarrassing articles of obsession over him. ;)

How to get the Younghusbands alone with you

By interviewing them in a radio booth, duh!
The folks at Monster Radio RX93.1 were cunning enough to do it. I'm yet to find out what they actually talked about. Here are some pictures:

More pictures at RX's Facebook.

Show me the Manny Ott

My, my. These cuties are getting younger and younger.

This handsome half-German boy here is only 18 years old. That's of legal age so I'm not holding back my appreciation.

I don't know which the cuter, the boy or the car.

The Real Younghusbands

This lovely article by Carla Bianca Ravanes turned me into a pile of goo. How cute are the Younghusband brothers?

 My favorite parts:

“Philip was a bully,” quipped James, 24, the older Younghusband brother almost at the same time Phil, 23, said, “James was like Harry Potter.”
Phil was quick to defend himself, “I was more that annoying little kid who wouldn’t stop moving around the classroom. I was very active; even now I can’t sit down without doing something. I was always out of my seat, always talking. I was really fidgety. I was always on the move but James was more the reserved [one]; I was the outgoing loud type.”
James agreed, “I was more quiet, you know, you get the groups like the jocks, the goth … I wasn’t really part of any of them. I worked my way [from] group to group.” He also shared his particular attention to detail, attributing his need for neatness as the reason why he was considered the teacher’s pet. “My notes were neat and tidy so they were quick to assume that I got all the answers correctly.”

 He also points out that they never really do anything apart, acknowledging themselves as one package.
“If you invite Phil you invite James, if you invite James, you have to invite Phil,” he explained.

When asked what Filipino traits they quickly picked up, James gamely says his love for “pancit,” while Phil, more seriously revealed: “It’s [my] protective instinct and focus on family. I’m always thinking of my family rather than myself; at least I’d like to think I am.”

When the subject of football was brought up, the boys were instantly charged with an obvious passion that was easily contagious, “Have we got 10 hours to talk about it?” James jokingly inquired.  

James. You can talk about football with me for ten hours. In fact you can talk about football with me for the rest of our lives.

Free trip to Paris

France, here we come.
Where do I sign up for the part of "girl perfect for Phil?"

Phil has finally gathered enough energy to reply to his fans via Twitter. It's so sweet how he always tries to answer your question.

OH AND HE WANTS TO BLEACH HIS HAIR BLONDE. 0_0
What do you think? Send him a Tweet on your answer. He's taking note.

Model Captain

Found this on James' Facebook wall. I can't find her name anymore. :(

 














There is always time to appreciate beauty. Imagine my thrill when I find attractive pictures of Aly Borromeo shot by Marius Oczon in my Tumblr dashboard. Here are my favorites:

This is so cute. In the photographer's notes, it says Aly uses a parachute to make sure he's running fast enough.

Thank you, Marius, for making Aly look hotter than he already is.
I would now like to sign up as a photographer for Neil -- I mean the Azkals.
"Okay, Neil. Next shot will be a close-up. Look here... on your knees... hold this ring box up to me... then propose to me."


Find more pictures in the photographer's DeviantArt page.

Hot enough to be models

I don't think I ever wished Mizuno to be an underwear line until now.

This isn't a first-time case for the Younghusbands, of course, as they were models themselves before becoming extremely popular fooballers. But seriously, I know people who know them more as models than footballers.



I hope it won't be long until this happens to our team. Viewer discretion advised:

I hope you got everything you wanted this Christmas

I innocently decide to check my Twitter one morning and end up being not innocent at all. I see this: 

@philyhusband's latest Twitter profile pic

Good god, Phil. Why did you decide to go as Top Gun for your Christmas costume party? Why did you decide to wear the one thing that makes the most ordinary-looking man into a handsome being? We're trying to get over you so please don't make it hard for us. Applying the same "mistake" on James doubles the damage. You've successfully turned yourselves into gods, as if you weren't to begin with, and managed to make our Christmases anything but pure.

Ironically, you had a very white one.

Phil looks adorably excited

 

Phil sports the most adorable unibrow in the world

Phil is not over his singing days, and James is in on it too.

In a tweet Phil said he got everything he wanted. Well, he hasn't seen me yet. ;D
But seriously, that was a good move, Phil and James, just keep them coming.

Because the Azkals know they're a thousand times cuter with Santa hats

Dear Santa,

Please give me one or all of these for the Holidays.

Love,

Mrs. De Jong

More shots here

I hope Santa can fit all of them under my tree. If there is no more space, he can put the gifts in the bed. ;)

Cheers to 2011

2010 was awesome, but 2011 is promising.

1. AFC Challenge Cup - Starts Feb. 9 and Feb. 16

2. FIFA World Cup Qualifiers - Starts July

3. SEA Games Football - Starts November 11

Hold up. I know you don't really care for those dates. Let's be honest here. WHEN DO I GET TO SEE THEM AGAIN?! Right now they're on Holiday break, but soon they'll be practicing for the AFC Challenge Cup so we better look out for their training schedule so we can stalk watch them. That will probably be this coming January, which is so soon I think I'm going to faint stalk.

Watch this video, submitted by thereisclaaarity, because it is made of win (and handsome). There are many GIFable moments too, some of which have already been animated by the aforementioned user.

Until those dates, JOIN THE AZKAL ARMY. Do whatever you want, use whatever you have to spread the Azkal love. You may use any material here but try to find a way to credit back to this site. In fact, I'll be happy to reblog you if you submit it here. Ladies, there is enough handsome to go around.

We got a lot in store for us next year. Maybe more interviews, polls, etc. Here's to Philippine Football! We're getting there!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

LABAN AZKALS!

Azkal Whereabouts: The Official Edition

According to Chino Trinidad:

The Younghusbands will be here as they are Manila-based now.

Aly of course will be here as he is as Pinoy as all of us.Tisoy nga lang hehehe.

Anton Del Rosario is thinking of staying with his parents for Christmas here in Manila.

Chris Greatwich is thinking of staying for Christmas.

Neil is back in London with his Fulham FC. Rob Gier flew out to London to be with wife Emma. Ray Jonsson is in Liloan,Cebu with his wife but is leaving today for Iceland.

Jason "the Flying Dutchman" went home to where I dont know exactly where that crazy one is from, but he will be back in time for the Azkals training camp next year. <--Haha Chino

Coach Simon I think went back to London but will be back here after the Holidays to discuss his future with the Azkals.

Hey at least half of them are here! Chino doesn't know where Jason is because he's in my heart. Thank you mister Trinidad!
