Paul Mulders denies being cut and more on Lucena, Ott, Cagara, Müller...

After a report surfaced that Paul Mulders was let go of Dutch premier league outfit ADO Den Haag(which I also blogged about HERE ) he fired back on twitter writing in tagalog: 

Kahit natapos ko ang aking ang 3th pagsasanay na ito umaga! Salamat sa iyo! Hindi importanteng bagay.

KANBAWZA FC primer

Like me you are probably curious who Loyola Meralco Sparks will be playing in the next round of the RHB Cup in Singapore so I tried to do a quick search just to see who Kanbawza really is. Here's a Kanbawza FC primer.

PAUL MULDERS has been cut from ADO Den Haag, Indonesia a likely destination?

Although it might seem like a sudden release, it has not been quite unexpected. Paul Mulders has been a long time fixture in the Dutch Eerste division(2nd tier) and it has been a pleasant surprise that an older player like Paul has been called up to play in the Eredivisie against giants like Ajax, PSV and Feyenoord.  

2011/12 End of Season report: Paul Mulders and ADO Den Haag

JUST MISSES RELEGATION! Paul Mulder's ADO Den Haag had a horrendous last quarter with their last five games going down in defeat. In this same time frame their opponent scored 15 points on them while they themselves only managed a poor five.


The team, finished the season 15th in the 18 team Dutch premier league(Eredivisie) with perennial powerhouse, Ajax taking first. "The Hague" had an 8-8-18 record. They scored 38 goals, third lowest in the league and allowed 67, fifth worse. To make matters worse, long time defender and arguably ADO's best player, Christian Kum has left the team.

2011/12 End of Season report: Patrick Hinrichsen and SV Darmstadt 98 II

Patrick, seated far right.

REMAINS A CONTENDER in the Verbandsliga Group South is what Patrick Hinrichsens team has accomplished for the 2011/12 season. 


Patrick began the season in the player pool for the team and was hardly used or included in a game roster. This slowly changed as the season drew to a close. By the end of the season, the 21 yo midfielder saw playing time as a reserve and even as an occasional starter for his 6th tier team. 

2011/12 End of Season report: Rob Gier and Ascot United FC

A rare photo of Rob in Ascot United kit!

Less than a middling team, is how one can describe Rob Gier's Ascot United last season. It survived a bad campaign season and is ready to begin climbing the table for the 2012/13 season.

It is important to note that Rob was away from the team for more than half a season either from supporting the Azkals in its FIFA friendly games, the AFC Challenge Cup campaign where he effectively was the Captain of the team and led the Philippines to its highest ever major tournament results(a 3rd place finish as an underdog team all the way), or because of injury, suffered in the Los Angeles Galaxy vs Azkals exhibition game. 

IN PICTURES! Training camp for our European based players.

Stephan Schröck is fitting in well with his new team mates as they undergo training camp in Bavaria.

TSG 1899 Hoffenheim is a newer 1.Bundesliga club who finished 11th in the 18 team German premier league for the 2011/12 season. They finished with a 10-11-13 record with 41 goals scored and 47 goals allowed. Clearly there is a need on both offense and defense. From a kicker.de article the team management is currently aiming for a 6th place finish at the very most but conceded any position from 10th place is a step in the right direction. Surely Stephan will be of great use for the team.

2011/12 END of SEASON report: Roland Müller of MSV Duisburg

To any true blue Philippine footy fan, the game, even if "watched" through futbol24.com was a devastating and heartbreaking event. We want explanations, now we have a first person account.

Mark top right standing

LATE SEASON MELTDOWN! Mark Drinkuths DJK Agon 08 started the season well, flirting with the top five teams in the Niederrhein Bezirkliga(8th tier). As the season progressed the team lost its focus and as could be seen by its last few games, deserve the middling ranking it has now.
