Spain2014:Gilas vs Croatia

GMA news headline said it best. Gilas loses overtime game wins hearts.
 
I still cant believe we lost.
Not that anybody thought we had any chance of winning, As Rafe Bartholomew said in his grantland article, “”

Gilas wins against Senegal

The Philippine National Basketball team Gilas Pilipinas finally wins our first game in the world championships since 1978 I think.
 
All he loses were close and probably winnable with better preparation.  Props to all the PBA owners who lent their players to the National team with the Caveat that they really should have just released the players instead of being assholes and playing another conference.

“Di ko nga alam kung bakit ko ginagawa eh, pero lahat ng makita kong kakilala, sinasabihan ko ng ‘Hoy manood kayo ng Gilas ah!’ Kala mo naman kasali ako sa team.” ‘Yan yung sinabi sa akin ng kaibigan kong si Ben Ullado habang nagmamaneho kami papunta sa bar kung saan magkikita ang buong college barkada namin para panoorin ang National Team natin labanan ang Croatia. Si Ben Ullado. Nagtatrabaho sa bangko. Walang kinalaman sa PBA, o sa Gilas, o sa TV network na magpapalabas ng laro. Si Ben Ullado. Kapitbahay ko mula nung limang taong gulang palang ako. Kaklase ko mula grade school. Kaliwete sa babae at sa basketball. Kakampi ko sa varsity sa UPLB. Yung Ben Ullado na inupakan yung sarili niyang kakampi sa liga kasi sinahod ako, na kalaban nila. Wala siyang maisip na magandang dahilan para ipaliwanag niya ang pag-imbita niya sa mga kamag-anak at katrabaho niya na buksan ang mga TV nila, ibahin ang mga plano at panoorin ang isang laro ng basketball. Pero ginawa parin niya. “Parang duty ko sa bayan brad eh.”

Sandro became the first and only Filipino accepted into the prestigious football school after two rounds of tryouts. He impressed coaches in an initial run in Singapore before shining in the final tryout in Spain, wherein he posted four goals and five assists.
