Juan Luis Guirado, one step to becoming the newest Azkal.

I'm not sure, but he's just gotten his Philippine passport so this is a good sign. Now lets pretend he WILL make it to the Cup game: He will miss a few games(Tercera div.), 3 to be precise, if he stays through out the duration of the AFC Challenge Cup. I know that coach Weiss is a stickler for match fitness and this isn't something we have to worry about with Juani as he will be coming straight from the middle of his teams Tercera division campaign. Lastly, it's probably good he comes to the Philippines soon because with the way his team is playing they might be relegated after their season ends in May 2012. Today, they are 20th in their 21 team division, YIKES!!

Juani in the Phil Embassy Spain. Pic from Azkalminator, Thanks!!

To my foreign readers, his mother is a Filipina hence by Philippine law he is entitled to receive a Philippine passport if he so desires and most importantly he is not NATURALIZED. This law is similar to most western European countries and the United States.
