Last Saturday, the UFL Cup finals was held at the Rizal Memorial Stadium. The stadium was jampacked. It was incredible! There were no seats left so some people just stood up while watching the live action on the pitch.

The first game was the battle for 3rd place between Kaya FC and Global FC. Of course I was rooting for Global FC! They're my favorite! Hahaha!! I remember, the first ever UFL match that I watched live was also between these teams (February 27, 2011). I was cheering my heart out for Global FC. I would scream whenever the strikers from Kaya FC is near Mr. Goalie of Global. I was praying all the time that the attempts from the other team will be blocked/saved by Pop-ah-pea! He did not let the supporters of Global FC down. He was really good. I mean, really good! I've never seen him play like that before. He was flying and he was an action star! He played really well. I'm so happy for him. I'm super proud!

After that battle for 3rd place where Global FC won, it's time for the main event. The Finals!!
I am really glad I was there to witness one of the great games in UFL history, I guess. The match between Loyola Meralco Sparks FC and Air Force Phoenix. Both teams have their game faces on. Both teams are hungry for the title, UFL Cup champions.  I cannot describe the game using football jargons. All I know is that   I saw the teams were very organized with their plans. The match was very intense! The players from both teams were very good especially the goalkeepers. But I have to say that Tats Mercado of the Air Force Phoenix is a beast. He played really well. I was jumping up and down whenever he saves the ball. Incredible saves. It was unbelievable. That's why they're champions!

I will forever remember that day. Mabuhay ang Pilipinas Futbol. I can't believe I'm a football fan now. I don't even know how to play the sport. All I know is I enjoy watching with my friends and even alone at home.
