The Philippine women’s football team aims to pull off an upset against Vietnam in a semifinal showdown between two World Cup-bound squads. AFFWomens2022
MANILA, Philippines – Philippine women’s football coach Alen Stajcic hopes the Filipinas head into the knockout semifinal match all “recovered and healthy.”
“Vietnam and Myanmar have played [in]… an easier group and less games. So Vietnam and Myanmar are certainly the two favorites heading into the semifinals for sure,” said Stajcic. “To play 450 minutes in nine days is something… I’ve not seen before in international football and even high-level domestic football,” said Stajcic. “It’s brutal, torturous.”
In the Philippines’ last game against Thailand, Stajcic probably had one eye on the semis already as he opted not to start in-form forward Bolden and midfield metronome Annis.
