I wish the AFC would get rid of the rule forcing there to be a Western Asian zone and an Eastern Asian zone team in the finals. It makes the knockout stages kind of boring in my opinion, knowing that regardless of the quality in any given year in either of the zones it'll always be an Arab team vs an East Asian team. I'd love to watch an all-Japanese final, or an all-Australian final or two teams from rival nearby country; or even better, a derby in a final. This year it'll be Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid in the UEFA CL, awesome rivalry. Yet, hold up for the AFC final, a Qatari team vs a Japanese team... no thanks.
2nd leg for the Victory kicks off tonight at 10pm.
