However, I don't know what supporting Tampines over Chonburi will do for your relationship with Doloras

It's ok, J82. You can support both Tampines and Suwon as they're in separate competitions.
Our relationship?
I flirt with her overcyberspace and she ignores me.
I think it will be fine.

Adelaide United v Persipura at Hindmarsh Stadium Thursday. Kick off: 19.30pm AEDT. (21:30 NZ)
Curious one this.
A decision by the Court of Arbitration for Sport on Friday, however, reinstated Persipura in the competition despite them being part of a rebel league not recognised by the Asian Football Confederation.
A knockout match will thus take place on Thursday between the two clubs with the winner gaining entry into the competition.
But such is the political confusion around the situation, Adelaide could still take part in the tournament even if they are defeated - meaning Thursday's game could end up meaningless

Regardless of the result tonight, if it's recognized, wouldn't the Phoenix owners see this as a possible precedent to stage their own challenge over entry to the competition?

Adelaide 1-0, piss poor defending from a corner, the defence headed it straight to Boogaard for a tap in.
This could be embarrassing.

D'oh!!
Lol did I read the yellow carded guys name correctly? Titus Bonai?
Should be 4-0 to Adelaide already. Pretty poor quality football.
State League at best from the Persipures.

Shows how rubbish Adelaide are then, they really need to score 3 or 4 to make a statement here, otherwise it is simply doing what is expected of them.
Holy sh*t look at those odds! Could be worth putting a cheeky $10 on Pesipura.
Levchenko playing for Adelaide, what import did they drop for him?
Usucar I think. They're both about as bad as each other.
State League at best from the Persipures.
simply doing what is expected of them.
They'll probably thrash us on Sat after a run out like this.
Well taken goal, great header to keep the ball in play and a good finish
Have to feel a bit sorry for Jayapura. Come all the way from Irian Jaya via Jakarta where they have been desperately trying to get visas organised, arriving in Oz in dribs and drabs, no time to train as a team. A tough ask from the word go.
Might be a bit of drama from this game, according to a few tweets I read on Kevin Airs timeline, Cassio might have been ineligible to play. He got 2 yellow cards in Adelaide's last ACL game in 2010, so might have had a ban to serve.
First games tonight. First up in Brisbane vs FC Tokyo.
I think Brisbane are Australia's best chance in the ACL, as long as they play to their best. Could see them getting close to the final potentially. The certainly have a good shot at winning this game tonight.patrick4782012-03-06 22:17:57

Miron's on Fox Sports!
Roar fan for a night.
Cheers, do you know who's commentating?
No clue. It's not the Fox Sports commentators, they were on the other stream I had but it got shutdown just before the start of the game.
If you want widescreen and better quality and a scoreboard, but don't mind Arabic commentary, try here: http://www.en.aljazeerasport.tv/Live/channel/global

Yeah, he sounds like the basic commentator the other English speaking nations would get... Theo almost with a shocker there...
