RP TEAM?S GAME 2 VS INDONESIA RATED HIGHER THAN SAN MIGUEL VS AIR 21 By Ronnie Nathanielsz PhilBoxing.com Thu, 23 Dec 2010  The second game of the Suzuki Cup semi finals between the Philippines and Indonesia which went almost head-to-head with the San Miguel Beer vs Air 21 quarter final game over RPN 9 on December 19 rated significantly higher. The football match was telecast ?live? on Studio 23 while the PBA games were aired on Solar TV-RPN 9. The football rated 3.7 percent nationally while the pro league game rated 2.7. In the breakdown of the ratings the football match rated 3.8 percent as against 3.3 for basketball while in Metro Manila football out-rated basketball 4.2 against 3.7. In the suburbs the RP-Indonesia game rated 3.1 as against 2.9 for the San Miguel?Air 21 showdown while in Northern Luzon the gap was much wider with football garnering a 3.5 rating and basketball 1.3 percent. In the Visayas region which is regarded as a growing hotbed of football, Game 2 of the RP-Indonesia semi finals rated double that of the SMB-Air 21 game, 5.4 to 2.7 percent while in Mindanao football also was way ahead rating 5.3 percent to 2.8 for the PBA game. The first game ratings of the PBA quarter finals between Talk N? Text and Rain or Shine was considerably lower than the ratings for football with a national rating of 1.5 percent compared to football?s 3.7. The resurgence of public interest in football was anchored on the success of the national team given the monicker Azkals after they held three-time Suzuki Cup champions Singapore to a 1-1 draw and stunned defending champions Vietnam 2-0. The RP lost the opening game 0-1 when a defensive error enabled naturalized Uuruguay striker Cristian Gonzales to score. Despite some real chances in the second game the Filipinos suffered another heartbreaking 1-nil loss with Gonzales scoring with a thundering left-footed volley from over 25 yards out that curled and crashed into the top right hand corner of the net.
