Angel Guirado and Phil Younghusband did unsuccessful attempts.However, I believe the Azkals has given their best to fight against a tough team. Their journey in making it to 2014 FIFA World Cup is excellent.Beating Bangladesh, Mongolia and Sri Lanka to qualify for the second round is an achievement.Perhaps, it's not our time to shine yet.Furthermore, Philippine Azkals has renewed Filipinos' love for football!

Congratulations Kuwait Al-Azraq! The team  advances to the third round while the Azkals will have to do more practice by having invitational football matches with other countries to keep our dream alive.
