AFC Cup

[Wedgie]

Grrr, Bali away is the week I go back to work after holidays. ?

 

[Corsair]

MD1 (18-21 Sept): Away vs Terengganu
MD2 (2-5 Oct): Home vs Bali
MD3 (23-26 Oct): Away vs Stallion Laguna
MD4 (6-9 Nov): Home vs Terengganu
MD5 (27-30 Nov): Away vs Bali
MD6 (11-14 Dec): Home vs Stallion Laguna

where'd you get that from?

Sat 25th home vs Jets then off to Bali would be a big ask, I'll be fkn stoked if it that date

Surely we’ve gotta fancy progressing through the group.
Bali UTD have a Brazilian coach and 3 Brazilian players, they sit 7th in their league.
Terengganu sit 6th in the Malaysian league. They’ve got a Croat with 12 goals in 19games.
Stallions are 3rd in their league, 20points off 1st.

Away games will be tricky ofcourse, who knows what kind of pitches and conditions the boys will encounter. I can’t wait for more continental footy… it’s been awhile!

By the time that match rolls around we should have a good idea how we’re travelling in the group and be able to make decisions on which match to prioritise.

All teams will have a match fitness advantage over us especially early on as their seasons are already running, some being quite late in the season. We’ll need the quality to be a lot higher than our Aus cup match.

We're all hoping we don't get Myanmar, meanwhile the rest of Asia is hoping they don't get Campbelltown pub Utd!

They got each other, it's love at first sight!

Hard to judge the quality of the opposition, got any insights? I don't know those leagues, I'd imagine we'd be a bigger stronger more physical team.

I can’t give any meaningful insights in relative strength but I don’t think any of our opponents are topping the table in their respective leagues which is promising. Main concern will be conditions and fitness, if we can overcome that we should have a decent run.

Shit pitch, 100000000% humidity, sweating from places you didn't know you could. Sold.

Hey Pete, I'm actually keen to start looking at flights and accom, booking leave etc. so I'm looking for an "official" source for dates before I start committing cash and bringing mates on board. Are these fixtures published somewhere yet?

Nice one, good find, thanks JP

Eyeing off Bali. Will book my own.
Doubt tickets will be too expensive or sold out

Not published, but this is how it stands according to the AFC. Finalised fixtures are yet to come. Sorry I can’t give any more than that, that’s all I’ve got!

 

[true believer]

Can’t - they’re in a different zone.

[Allreet?]

We'll top the group nae boather.

All good thanks, still got a bit of Champions fever among my mates so keen to strike while the iron's hot! Might start looking at flights and accom on the downlow but need an official source to lock it in!
