AFC Cup

Macarthur beat Phnom 5-0 I believe so we hopefully should have no trouble beating them

Phnom also beat Macarthur 3-0 in the reverse fixture. Don’t take anything for granted in this competition.

They beat Macarthur 3-0 over there. Puts our performance on the Philippines in perspective. It is always tough with the travel, throw in the heat and humidity and dodgy pitch and that game had the potential to be a disaster. Kudos to the boys for a professional performance.

If Sabah beat Macarthur and we beat Phnom Penh Crown will we host Sabah as we had a better group result?

That’s when the players do their best work

Wonder if our boys will have an 8 hour delay getting to this game…….. ?

Without wanting to get ahead of ourselves, looks like we do have a chance of hosting the winner of Macarthur/Sabah if we beat Phnom Penh (draw to come next week).

Why do the ASEAN zone finals only have a single leg?

 

[Ozhammer]

Complicated or what?

 

[Corsair]

Possible next round countries if we win our zone:
Kyrgyzstan
India
Taiwan

Then final will be in one of these countries:
Oman
Iraq
Bahrain
Lebanon

Why is the final played in the West Zone at the Home of that zone's winner and not decided by a draw? That's not fair?

Can't see any of those countries drawing travelling fans.

So the final will be in one of these countries:
Oman
Iraq
Bahrain
Lebanon

Why is the final played in the West Zone at the Home of that zone's winner and not decided by a draw? That's not fair?

I think if you look at the countries that make up the west zone you will have your answer. ??‍♂️

Just bias then.

 

[Stuartmcateer]

Just bias then.

I think there would have been a rigorous bidding process that did due diligence on each of the member federations and zones and based the outcome on merit.

Kind of like for the 2022 World Cup.

This sounds like the start of a joke...

Because they like hops?!

Don’t Western teams also play fewer games to reach the final?
