Sweet victory

THE EAR - The Freeman
September 6, 2014 | 12:00am

ENOUGH. Gilas Pilipinas lost four games in the World Cup the lone victory over Senegal was to most fans enough to make them happy. "Remember that Chot Reyes the coach was not expecting to win against the Goliaths but hoped to beat Senegal and he did," a fan (a business exec) said to our Ear informer.

NO PUSH-OVER. Senegal turned out to be a not so-so team forcing an overtime and enabling Gilas to win by only 2 pts. Which, fans said, made the lone win for Gilas even sweeter. Philstar.com said it rightly: "Gilas saved the best for last."
