The crowd at the Gilas vs Iran game was so hyper that they didn’t stop cheering from the start till the end. The team lost but the only one with a hot head was Chot Reyes who threw a tantrum at the last minute of the game. He shouted “Eh di kayo na ang mag-coach” and threw the play board. Oh was it shown on TV?
The Filipinos in Korea who took the time to travel to Hwaseong City (an hour from Seoul) were just happy to cheer for Gilas Pilipinas, win or lose.
