Progressing in the FFA cup just means more international travel that the players have to do. Hope we lose.
We're already in the Round of 32, so at most it could be 4 trips across the ditch and the 4th one would be for the final and in the middle of the A League season anyway. Totally worth it for the chance to win some silverware.
Edit: In fact I just checked and it would only be 2 more trips across the Tasman before the A League starts. As Ryan said, those would also be good games for our squad to get competitive game time before the season proper starts.
