‘Football’ or ‘soccer’? Biden, Dutch PM banter on Twitter

Inquirer Breaking News - Tue, 12/06/2022 - 05:00
WASHINGTON---The perennial question of whether it's "soccer" (as Americans call it) or "football" prompted Twitter wisecracks between President Joe Biden and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte this weekend, as the Netherlands sent the United States crashing out of the World Cup. "It's called soccer," Biden said in a video posted on Twitter wishing the US team luck ahead of their last-16 clash against the Dutch side on Saturday at the Khalifa International Stadium in Doha. But the clinical Netherlands soon ended the United States' World Cup dream, sweeping into the quarter-finals with a ruthless 3-1 victory---and Rutte was quick to respond to Biden's tweet. "Sorry Joe, football ...

Inquirer Breaking News - Tue, 12/06/2022 - 04:30
Yeng Guiao sounded like a coach trying to make sense of showing up for quarterfinal match that he feels Rain or Shine has little hopes of winning.

"Bilog ang bola (the ball is round)," Nambatac said, rehashing that overused basketball soundbite that generally means anything can happen. "That is surely a David and Goliath kind of game.

It's not often that a team can spot a problematic part of its game despite coming from a victory. Petro Gazz has that advantage. "We learned our lesson against Cignal when we let go of [parts of] the third set," said Angels coach Rald Ricafort. "We have to lose the complacency [we fall into] when we get a two-set lead, because there is that chance that we turn [our game] off a little bit." Ricafort was referring to a previous game against the HD Spikers where they blew three match points in the third set before closing out the match in the fourth. But he might as well have been talking about Game 1 of the Premier Volleyball League Reinforced Conference championship. Th...
