BLEACHERS BREW EST. MAY 2006

Someone asked me how my blog and newspaper column came to be titled "Bleachers Brew". It's like this, it's an amalgam of sorts of two things: The bleachers area in the stadium/arena where I used to sit when I would watch baseball, football, and basketball games and Miles Davis' great jazz album Bitches Brew. That's how it got culled together. I originally planned on calling it "The View from the Big Chair" that is a nod to Tears For Fear's second album, Songs from the Big Chair. So there.

Vote for your UFL Starting XI and win a cool UFL t-shirt!


Vote for your UFL Starting XI and win a cool UFL t-shirt!

My informal survey about the best goalkeeper in the UFL generated a lot of response and interest. So we’re expanding it. And while we’re at it, we’d like to propose to the UFL that there be an All-Star Game with voting from the coaches, players, media, and the fans. Now whom they play is altogether another question. Maybe a visiting club – club ha, not a national team.

So email your best starting eleven – two forwards, four midfielders, four defenders, one goalkeeper, head coach, and five subs (reserves). We will draw from the list five fans who will win a UFL t-shirt. Howzat?

So here’s a partial list. In case, I missed anyone, please add na lang.

Forwards:
Joo Young Lee (Stallion), Ruben Doctora Jr. (Stallion), Phil Younghusband (Loyola) Mark Hartmann (Loyola), Eric Dagroh (Kaya), Nate Burkey (Kaya), Izzo El-Habbib (Global), Misagh Bahadoran (Global), Floriano Pasilan Jr. (Green Archers), Arnie Pasinabo Jr. (Green Archers), Steve Borrill (Nomads), Phil Connolly (Nomads), Ian Araneta (Air Force), Yanti Barsales (Air Force), Luisito Brilliantes (Army), Relan Bretaña (Army), Marlon Piñero (Navy), Vaughn Melendrez (Navy), Dieter Vangrunderbeek (Pasargad).

Midfielders:
James Younghusband (Loyola), Jake Morallo (Loyola), Bo Bae Park (Stallion), Antonio Albor Jr. (Stallion), Lexton Moy (Kaya), Masa Omura (Kaya), William Guerridon (Global), Angel Guirado (Global), Roel Gener (Army), Nestor Margarse Jr. (Army), Emelio Caligdong (Air Force), Jeruzel Tonog (Air Force), Jeffrey Liman (Navy), Roberto Cabural (Navy), Nikko Villa (Green Archers), Gerald Pacquiao (Green Archers), Alastair McCready (Nomads), Sam Fogg (Nomads).

Defenders:
Yong Jae Pi (Stallion), Jake Hugo (Stallion), Pat Ozaeta (Loyola), Roxy Dorlas (Loyola), Anton del Rosario (Kaya), Jason Sabio (Kaya), Jerry Barbaso (Global), David Basa (Global), Martin Doctora (Air Force), Jalor Soriano (Air Force), Randy Musters (Nomads), Daniel Williams (Nomads), Jun Mark Saraga (Green Archers), Arvin Jay Soliman (Green Archers), Loreto Kalalang (Navy), John Cain (Army), Mansour Mahdadi (Pasargad).

Goalkeepers:
Wilson Muñoz (Stallion), Ref Cuaresma (Loyola), Saba Garmaroudi (Kaya), Paolo Pascual (Global), Tommy Talipan (Navy) Ed Sacapaño (Army), Tats Mercado (Air Force), Martin Villaflor (Green Archers), Jeff Blake (Nomads), and Abdollah Golkhah (Pasargad).


Coaches:
Ernie Nierras (Stallion), Kim Chul So (Loyola), Juan Cutillas (Kaya), Graeme MacKinnon (Global), Marlon Maro (Navy), Mick Dennison (Nomads), Sgt. Edzel Bracamonte (UST), Adolfo Alicante (Green Archers United), Joel Villarin (Pasargad), Maj. Pat Bumidang (Army)

Again… by no means is this a comprehensive list. At the risk of looking and reading like an All-Kaya list, I did not list Jonas Romero and Adrian Semblat or even Global’s Val Kama or Carli de Murga. BUT YOU MAY VOTE FOR THEM! The point is – submit your best starting eleven. And let’s not make this a popularity contest, okay? Let this be on merit, skill, and current performance.

So email to bleachersbrew@gmail.com your UFL Starting XI and get a chance to win cool UFL t-shirts. Voting ends by the end of February 2012. This is a joint promo between Bleachers' Brew and friends from the UFL.
