Azkals vs Kuwait live at midnight on ABS-CBN 2

The Philippine Azkals will probably play its toughest game ever tonight as the team faces Kuwait in Leg 1 of their campaign for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

The "Azkals vs Kuwait" Leg 1 - 2014 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers will be held tonight, July 23, 2011, at the Qadsia Stadium in Kuwait.

It will be aired on ABS-CBN, with live coverage starting at 11:30 PM right after Banana Split Extra Scoop. 

Game kicks off at 12:30 AM, that's already a Sunday, July 24, 2011. So better not sleep yet tonight, or sleep early, then just wake up at midnight to watch the "Azkals vs Kuwait" game live on ABS-CBN 2.

The Kuwaiti National Football Team ranks 102nd in FIFA World Ranking while the Philippine Azkals is only ranked 159th.

While it's Azkals' first time to enter FIFA World Cup Qualification Stage and make it to this level (2nd Round), Kuwait has already reached 3rd Round during the 2010 FIFA World Cup Qualification Stage.

The Philippines has never played in a main tournament of FIFA World Cup but Kuwait already did it in 1982.

But let's think positive, the Azkals will win vs Kuwait tonight.

If you can't catch tonight's game live on ABS-CBN, you can watch a replay tomorrow, Sunday, at 9:30 AM, still on ABS-CBN, then at 3:00 PM on BALLS channel and at 10:00 PM on STUDIO 23.

Mykiru Isyusero will also do live blogging updates of the Azkals vs Kuwait game tonight, so stay tuned!

Sam Concepcion to direct "Face Off" mini-concert feat. Tippy Dos Santos and Morissette Amon

Sam Concepcion will be directing the mini-concert "Face Off" which will feature two young divas Tippy Dos Santos and Morissette Amon.

Before Sam Concepcion flies as Peter Pan on September 29 to October 30, the 18-year-old singer-actor will be directing first the "Face Off" concert this July 2, 5:30 p.m., at the Entertainment Hall of Robinsons Midtown Ermita.

It was the concerts' featured artists themselves, Tippy Dos Sandtos and Morissette Amon, who personally chose Sam Concepcion to direct the show. "This is my way of supporting my friends in this endeavor," says Sam. "I have taping that day, so I agreed to just direct the concert."

This will be Sam's first time to direct a concert and somehow, it will serve as a prelude to Sam's own major concert in 2012 with him as both the featured artist and the director.

The "Face Off" concert will feature two young divas Tippy Dos Santos and Morissette Amon.

STAGES' Tippy Dos Santos has already showcased her amazing vocals and starrific charm in the ABS-CBN youth-oriented show "Shoutout" and the musical drama "iDOL". She already competed internationally and won medals in the 2008 World Championship of the Performing Arts (WCOPA) held in LA.

At her young age, Tippy may well be considered stage veteran having been part of musical productions like "Children's Letters To God" and "Beauty and the Beast", and soon in STAGES' production of "Peter Pan" as Sam Concepcion's leading lady.

Talent5's Morissette Amon meanwhile is familiar to televiewers as the 1st Runner Up in the TV5's talent search "Star Factor" last December. She started singing at a very young age and trooped to various singing contests in her native land, Cebu. She just finished waxing her debut album.

On Youtube, you can find a video of Morissette being compared to America's Got Talent Season 1 winner Bianca Ryan and Pinay international singer Charice.

Who between Tippy and Morissette will be hailed the better performer in "Face Off"?

Presented by STAGES, Talent5, and Hype Cologne, in cooperation with TV5 and ASAP Rocks, "Face Off" will be held this July 2, 5:30 p.m., at the Entertainment Hall of Robinsons Midtown Ermita and will also feature some Talent5 artists as special guests.

Admission is free. See you!
