IF YOU are looking for updates or my take on the Bangladesh game, I�m sorry to disappoint you, you won�t find it here.
I usually write my columns 48 hours before deadline, so I won�t give the hardworking sports editor any fits and last night�s game was just a tad too late. (I could�ve stretched the deadline and rushed a piece, but I�m afraid the sports ed would hit a homer off my head if I get 11 minutes late.)
But I hope, the Azkals won against Bangladesh last night, and I hope they make it to the Challenge Cup final stage. (They won, 3-0. �Editor)
By the way, since the Feb. 9 game in Bacolod, I�ve encountered the �bandwagon fans vs. real fans� argument a few times already and I always say one thing, there shouldn�t be any distinction among the fans.
How they come to love the Azkals shouldn�t be a factor.
And if they are more enamored with certain players than the team, well, that shouldn�t be held against them in the same way that Justin Bieber fans shouldn�t be faulted for liking Justin Bieber, right?
But considering how this argument keeps propping every now and then, this is going to be a regular treat in football talks.
Some of the arguments are quite serious�why Pinoys are suddenly into football because of the Azkals�while some, are somewhat hilarious, especially when one fan questions another�s right to comment on stuff by asking, �How long have you been a football fan?�
So are bandwagon fans bad for the sport?
