2014 AFC Champions League

[rbakersmith]

We've drawn second in Group F, with Sanfrecce Hiroshima, FC Seoul and the winner of the 1st playoff (most likely Beijing Guoan).

WSW have drawn first in group H, with Guizhou Renhe, the J-League runner up and Ulsan Hyundai.

If MV win the 2nd playoff, they will be fourth in group G, with Guangzhou Evergrande, the Emperor's Cup winner from Japan and Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors.

Nice... that's FC Seoul who took Evergrande to the wire in the last ACL final.
And Sanfrecce Hiroshima just won the J-League.

If MV do get in, almost worth the trip to Melbourne to see Wilko play!

So we're not withdrawing the acl after all ?

It'll be tough, but I reckon our best chance to get through will be to do well against FC Seoul and the playoff winner (probably Beijing Guoan).

I think we've got the squad to do it, and they finally seem to be coming together. Come February we should be well and truly ready.

Yep tough group, pretty much always are, but I think this will be our best year.

On the bright side those big clubs might bring more fans.

Remember we had Evergrande right where we wanted them. Down 1-0. They were ours for the taking for about 20mins. So if we can just get the games reduced to 20mins we will be fine.

Maybe we need to teach the team to Stop, Drop and Roll to chew up some time.

Agreed, but if you want to be the best you gotta beat the best. Bring 'em on. COYY!
I love the ACL.

 

[eenfish]

If Victory get through, I'll be living in Melbourne by then,so I'll get a chance to go see Wilko beat some Victory boys. Nice!

Very keen for the comp this year. Sanfrecce Hiroshima will be tough as will FC Seoul (they past winners right?), but we might be able to pull through if we play it right.

An interesting result involving Sanfrecce Hiroshima - in yesterday's Emperor's Cup quarterfinal against Ventforet Kofu (15th in J1, 8-13-13 with a -11 GD vs Sanfrecce's 19-6-9 and +22 GD) they only won 3-2 on penalties after being held to a 1-1 draw at the end of extra time.

They go on to play FC Tokyo (8th in J1, 16-6-12 with +14GD) in the semi-final on Sunday, with the winner taking on the winner of the Yokohama F. Marinos/Sagan Tosu game in the final on the 1st.

here's hoping we do an Adelaide - with the domestic league slowing spinning 'round and 'round on it's way down the drain we slice through the ACL and have a great campaign

Except we win just one game more than they did.

Amen, BG. $30 for the 3 game pass is absolutely brilliant. Well in.

You guys have a great deal... we are likely to be charged double what you have to pay for the 3 match pass.
