Philippine Azkals loss to Thailand 2-1 in AFF Suzuki Cup 2012 opener
Host Thailand gave the Philippine national men’s football team a rude welcome to open the ASEAN Football Federation Suzuki Cup, outclassing the Azkals, 2-1, in their match Saturday at the Rajamangala Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
The War Elephants drew first blood, literally, in the match after Azkals ace striker Phil Younghusband suffered a cut over his left eye in the early minutes. The Philippines’ top scorer was hardly a factor in the first half before being subbed out at the break.

AFF Suzuki Cup 2012 (Philippine Azkals) Live Streaming
BANGKOK, Thailand – The Philippine national men’s football team kicks off its campaign in the 2012 ASEAN Football Federation Suzuki Cup when it battles host Thailand Saturday night at the Rajamangala Stadium here.
The Philippine Azkals, whose fame surged after their Cinderella run to the semifinals of the tournament two years ago, look to end their losing tradition to the Thais, to whom they suffered large beatdowns in their last 12 encounters. Thailand’s 9-0 demolition of the Philippines in 1999 remains the most lopsided result of the matchup.
