Azkals tune-up games
scheduled at Panaad

The Philippine men’s football team, Azkals, will have a tune-up match this weekend at the Panaad football field in Bacolod City, against Ceres Football Club and Global Football Club in preparation for its friendly game against Malaysia on June 1, Juvy Lizares, president of the Visayas Football League, said yesterday.

The Azkals will play against Ceres FC on Saturday at 4 p.m. while Global FC will match against Ceres FC at 7 p.m. The winners will have a rematch on Sunday at 4 p.m. while losers will play against each other at 7p.m.

Richard Joson, of the Philippine Football Federation said the tune up games are all geared towards the return game here in Panaad on June 12 where Azkals will play against Guam for the FIFA International Friendly match.

Olympic torch takes wrong turn

The Olympic torch briefly took a wrong turn yesterday, delaying the flame's relay across Britain by about ten minutes.

The torch convoy muddled the route in Failand near Bristol, southwest England, a London Organizing Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games spokesperson said.

The relay was "in convoy mode" at the time, meaning no torchbearers were actually running with the torch. The spokesman said the mistake was quickly rectified.
