Foosballympics Final Four

It's down to the Final Four teams this afternoon as the race for the grand prize heats up.

Last week's Magic Eight round saw some intense matches as fierce rivals faced off against each other.

In the first game, the duo of Boyet "Earthquake" Custodio and Sneaky Roxas could not contain the "Way of The Fong" and "Mean Eugene" as the Malibu Fly Honeyz upset Matinik na Burnik for the top seed. The wildcard Honeyz made it to the quarter finals via the backdoor after losing their elimination round game a few months back. They look to continue their Cinderella run tonight when they face off against Di Mo Kaya Ipasok Ang Bola Niyo Sa Butas Namin.

The Butas team came from behind and survived a nail biter against Power Trip. With the score at 8 and 9 in favor of the Power Trippers, the game looked to be over until the girls tied the game.

A bully shot by "Rage" Villanueva off Jos The Boss Ortega ended the third set deadlock, and some speculate her stint at JWT as well. Ice Ice Baby Candido had nerves of steel, and came prepared with high heels to better see the table. Not even the barbs of playing commentator Javey Villiones could throw off the damsel duo.

Chies Carls, formerly the Socialist Republic of Carl Mark, swept Solid Joross and Roxanne in their matchup. Prichie "Corky" Fajardo and Carl "The Devil" Urgino overcame Tricky Tricci's trickshots and The Amazing Racist's power game with a series of bullyshots from the evil one. The match saw players switch positions faster and more frequently than an orgy during the end of the world.

In the final game of the quarterfinals, team Joe D' Maggie survived an injury to Emperor Joe Dy as Maggie "The Mom" Madayag powered the team over  Team Ang in three games. After absorbing a beating in their first set, Ramon "Peter v2.0" Alfonso and Lady Charo came roaring back to take the second set. But it just wasn't their night as Mao and Mom put them away for good in the final set.

The Final Four Matchups will see Chies Curls take on Joe D' Maggie while the Malibu Fly Honez face Di Mo Kaya Ipasok Ang Bola Niyo Sa Butas Namin.

If you thought Pacquiao-DelaHoya was the fight of the year, then you're right.

But these games should be fun as well.
