SEA Games 2011 Football Draw, Azkals in Group B

Here is the result for the SEA Games 2011 Football Draw.

Group A
1. Malaysia
2. Indonesia
3. Singapore
4. Thailand
5. Cambodia

Group B
1. Vietnam
2. Laos
3. Brunei Darussalam
4. Timor Leste
5. Myanmar
6. Philippines

As you can see, the Philippines is enjoying a more doable group than Group A in my opinion. It’s noted though that Myanmar and Vietnam may be very tough contenders for the Philippines in order to qualify for the next round. Another thing notable about the Philippine Azkals at the moment is that we’ve gained 8 places in the FIFA world ranking but are still miles away from even breaching into the 100 zone.

FIFA World Ranking as of Oct. 19
