Philippine Azkals beaten but not disgraced
The Philippine Azkals were beaten 2-0 by the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea more commonly known as North Korea, but were certainly not disgraced in their first Group B match in what has come to be known as ``The group of Death'' in the Asian Football Confederation ``Challenge Cup: at the Halchowk Rangsala in Kathmandu, Nepal.
Elbowed, head-butted and generally roughed up by host nation Thailand, the Philippine Azkals will have to show more bite when they face Vietnam in a do-or-die match in the AFF Suzuki Cup at the Rajamangala Stadium in Bangkok this evening in a game to be telecast by AKTV IBC 13.
