How does everyone think Sydney and Adelaide will do in this Round
of the Champions League?
My tips
Sydney 2 - Indonesians 0
Adelaide 0 - Koreans 0
For no particular reasons. Just my gut feeling.
I reckon it will go Sydney 1-0 Persik
Adelaide 0-2 Korean team
Since I think Adelaide will be downcast from the loss of
Aloisi and the Korean teams are a real force in the AFC, I think
Sydney FC will hold on to beat Persik and take the group
lead.
Just so you Kiwi goons know..
Indonesian team = Persik Kediri
Korean team = Seongnam Ilhwa
Sydney FC 3-0 Persik Kediri
AUFC 1-1 Seongnam Ilhwa
I think SFC will make a mockery of the Indonesians, while my
beloved Reds will I think unfortunately only manage a draw when
nothing less than a win will do.

Hydro... we know exactly who it is, it's your Aussie mates that are too lazy to post it. You see, many of us new Asian football existed before 2005.
Fair point.

Apologies once again.

I'm hoping Adelaide will get up with Bruce Djite finding his
straps but only 1-0. I think Sydney will get goals early and
then struggle in the conditions as the game wears on.
As for Asian football .... it would be fair to say that there
were only a few Antipodean pundits who were aware it existed and
the standard it was at, and even most of those were people like
myself who had resided in Asia. It has been a good football
lesson for everyone, myself included, and long may it
continue.
I knew the Idonesian team. But I couldn't remember the name of the
Korean team.
One all Sydney with the Uruguayan (can't remember his name) scoring for the Indonesians.
Adelaide losing one zip...

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
We're pretty much out of it now. But still, there is a slight
sliver of hope.
Let's hope Urawa reds lose all their matches and we win all
of ours.
Yeah, or even a draw or two could be enough if we win all our other
games.
Oh, Sydney lost 2-1 BTW. :(
Sydney losing and doing bad in the ACL is as arousing for
victory supporters
as sheep are to the kiwi's 
Why should Kiwis care. We aren't invited.
We've got the Feckin O-League.
Sydney's game just showed how sorely lacking they are in their
forward lines. Any number of chances could have been put away
to destroy Persik. Brosque and Zdrilic are just really
mediocre.
Zadkovich is also a farken goon.
10 men down in ridiculous heat & humidity was never going to make for an easy game.
TBH Adelaide should also have put the match away in the second half. We were all over them. Two defensive lapses were enough for Seongnam to come out with a draw. Our chances of progressing are slim to none now :/

Foster and Murray will be squirming like bastards on Sunday...
superb.
Good interview with Ben Buckley, and not toooooo much squirming by
Fossie and Les. Branko got a bit defensive though.
Alex Brosque's decision to dive rather than go round the keeper and
score just showed that Sydney thought they could take the piss and
win...and they can't...because they're not that good....and neither
is he.
