Comments from Csisc

First, I have to thank you for the work you have done about Philippines national football team which is a team with an exceptional history although it is suffering now. However, I have some comments that can be useful for you to develop this work.

• Team History: The circumstances in which Philippines National Football team has been created are not described in the work. However, this would be important to know who was behind the creation of Philippines National Football team and the promotion of Football in Philippines. Furthermore, there are minor information about the records of players of Philippines Team like who is the player who had played the most with Philippines Team and who is the players who scored the most with Philippines. These information are important and can help deciding when the Philippines Team was in his best period. Moreover, there is no information about the circumstances of the competitions played by the Philippines before 1950.
• 1958 Period: The poor decisions of the PFA were not well described. It is much better if you can built a part about 60-40 Decision... No information had been included for what happened from 1968 to 1982... This part is important and I think that promoting it will give more quality and depth to this excellent work. You may also include some quotes about that particular period or add some photos to the work...
• The Coaches: The coaches of the Philippines Team are not well described. The coverage of the coaches is not complete and there are minor information about them... You should probably include whether they had been efficient with Philippines team or not and the results of the Philippines team with them and how they left the Philippines Team... You should probably ask the PFA to provide more information in their official page or ask for probable reference for that...
• The Team: For the colors of the wear of the Philippines Team, you should provide more information about what the wear looks like before 1996. You can even upload the one of the 1910s as it is free of copyright. The supporters and the stadium are not well described. More information should be provided as the names of famous supporters and the Location of the stadium in which the Philippines Team are playing now.

I think that these facts are important. However, you can expand other facts of this important work like the Coach Assistants, the ads in which appeared the National Team of Philippines, some comments about the Philippines National Team and a part about some significant important goals of the History of the Philippines Team...

Thank you for your imput, I know there is something missing about the page especially the history section. I'll keep these in mind. This would be a challenge though since football isn't that popular in the Philippines compared to basketball, boxing, etc despite football being an "emerging" sports in the country.

The website of the Philippine Football Federation, is unreliable. In fact is is down and the only "official" webpage is the www.azkalsfootballteam.com. The only sites on Philippine football aside from news articles are from blog websites such as filipino football and bleachersreport. The author of bleachersreport is an establish sportwriter and almost all his entries are published in newspapers and magazines such as business mirror so I don't hesitate on citing articles from this source. Also another problem is sometimes facts don't match with the rsssf after I cross-reference them. AndaleCaballo has pointed to me about this so I removed contradicting facts in the history section such as the national team being financed by a Chinese businessman to a training camp in Spain after having a decent finish with Swedish AIK-Futbol while other sources including AIK Futbol's official database listed their opponents as selection team from Manila and not the national team. I have no luck finding published sources in local libraries about football. Nevertheless I hope to build on the article on what is available.--Hariboneagle927 (talk) 09:57, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
