Historic Triumph of Philippine Soccer Team against Brazil

MANILA, Philippines – Filipinos are proud to announce to the whole world that they have finally got a historic triumph against Brazil during the Deloitte Street Child World Cup Indoor Football Tournament in Durban, South Africa. The Filipino booters lived up to their “Miracle Team” yelling with pride as the team has a huge hit of 6-2 against the world football power, Brazil.

This is will be the first time that the Philippines beat Brazil in this game.

The victory boosted the team into the shield competition after finishing the Group B preliminaries with a 1-2 win-loss slate which was co-managed by Craig Burrows of Britain.

“We prayed for a breakthrough for the RP ‘Miracle Team,’ and it was answered in a big way with this win over the Brazilians,” said co-manager Ed Formoso, who again thanked British charity Angus Lawon Memorial Trust for making the stint possible.

“It seems that Tinikling footwork beat Samba footwork,” noted RP women’s team skipper Marielle Benitez, when informed of the historic triumph Thursday night.

The Philippines next plays Ukraine on Friday (Saturday in Manila) with the winner taking on the victor of the other Shield semifinals between host South Africa and Brazil for the Shield Cup on Friday.
