    Nice video! ^__^ I see that Alex Morgan is probably overall the most loved (or anyway the most well-known) female player, in your country...
    What about "Malditas" on the Pilipinas jersey of one of the girls? It's a joke with "Matildas" or is it a real nickname of your WNT?

    And I confess I don't know what Palabok is... I suppose is some sort of local food, also because it seems to me that the girls with more "European" features tend to choose spaghetti, while the girl with more "Asian" features tend to choose palabok...

    haha Palabok is a native specialty, and yes you are right, the more European looking girls, are Filipinos based in America so it's natural i guess they aren't familiar with the type of noodle although i guess i was hoping some of them were introduced to it by their families?

    hehe anyway yes, the non-European looking ones are those who grew up here :) and as for "Malditas" we are trying to move away from that cos as you say it is quite confusing with Australia's Matildas. and that term in Filipino or Spanish, isn't a very good one.

    I am aware of what "Malditas" mean in Spanish. That's why I thought that the confusion with "Matildas" was intentional. But If you're trying to moving away from that, nevermind.
