2014 AFC Champions League

[Jaundice]

I thought WSW were lucky last night. Rarely saw them able to string three passes together, looking out of their depth to me. Guangzhou dominated but just couldnt put their numerous opportunities away. Congrats to them all the same, big effort whilst essentially still in pre season taking on a season hardened side with that payroll.

Im liking this rivalry thats developing between the two clubs, spices things up and could generate more interest in the ACL here.

Extremely lucky. Particularly in the last 1/4 of the game where they conceded the 2 goals back due to tiring defenders. GE controlled all possession but that would be expected. GE is a league above (at most) what the HAL is. 2 of the GE imports would be worth more than the average HAL team.. but WSW stuck it out, and won an ugly game - albeit on away goals.. which is football!
Additionally, GE are a powerhouse in China. Their current record has them 10+ points clear of 2nd spot with 20+ goal difference.

Anyway, I think the successes of ANY HAL team should be welcomed. It puts us on the map of world football.. more exposure, more interest, more development, more players.

40 mins. Nil all FC Seoul vs. WSW.
FC Seoul look sharp!
Hard to barrack for the side in red and black because they are WSW colours, but it's reversed tonight.

A draw. Tough for FC Seoul to come to Australia vs. WSW at home.

The drive bys were outclassed but the Koreans decision making in the final third was pathetic and that kept Wsw in the game.
I would expect Seoul to win in Parra from what I saw.

I think your dreaming. RBB did real well . the Koreans failed to take the bull by the horns in their backyard .
with juric and santa -red-neck back . the Koreans will get cained

At times WSW played 4-6 in the box close to the goal mouth when defending. It was effective but boy was it ugly! A wall, almost. And imho it leaves open accidental touches into goal, such is the confusion sometimes in there.
WSW were also pretty damn physical, again! I think they lead a charmed life when it comes to and . It's going to happen to them, and probably at a vital time in a game, and then we'll see all sorts of whingeing and accusations.

I hope the Drive Bys win the whole thing it would be good for Football and the A-League and that can't be a bad thing.

I agree with your latter sentiments, but I will *never* support WSW.
And remember Seoul FC have only to draw in Australia to tip WSW out because of their superior away goal ratio in the comp.

I agree centrelink fc =

If WSW win the ACL you will never hear the end of it. I hope they get stomped.

& if we had won it no one'd give a f**kn rats arse but then again "NO ONE RATES US, BUT WE DON'T CARE"!!!

I'm happy for them to make the final and suffer a heart-wrenching last minute loss.

I want them to dominate and lose. Show the standard of the league, but rob them of the glory.

Besides, they have to make the final and lose. It's what they do.

Happy for them to make the final......and then get crushed 5 or 6 nil.

 

[nearlyyellow]

I want them to lose every single game they play.
