Stephan Schrock is on another level of football. He's got character attitude and initiative to play for the team... Happy to see the 10 minute fame of Misagh Bahadoran in the field!

For Neil Etheridge, kudos to your great strength on guarding the goal.... i know you were tired shielding your whole body for the defense move...

The Philippines now have 4 years to prepare for the 2018 World Cup Qualifier....
Right after the match, Kuwait is now 95th in the world ranking while the Philippine Azkals dropped to no. 162.
Meanwhile, neighboring country–Indonesia–was able to beat Turkmenistan in their tie-breaking match with an aggregate score of 5 over 4 and became the first Southeast Asian country to advance to the third round of Asian (AFC) qualifier...
Myanmar, Vietnam and Laos also failed to advance while Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore are still playing their respective 2nd leg matches at this very moment.
Ooopppsss, before i forgot, Azkals are the most handsome losers in sports! lolz
Kidding aside, Congratulations! you made us Proud!!!
