It seems so. Despite the win I really don't have any confidence in WSW to make the grand final again this season. They are going to have play a lot of games this season if they are to win the title. Getting knocked out of the FFA Cup was a blessing for them.
A-Leagues adventures in Asia (ACL & AFC Cup thread)
So they pretty much Greeced the title?
Kinda; but they played well to get to this point. Played a horrible last game , but doesn't really matter now.
Saudi team and fans were fucking despicable ; really poor look for the ACL. Glad they got stuffed.
Some performance from Covic going by those highlights!
Yep; gave away a blatent pen that wasn't called though.
Al Hilal could of had 3 penalties by the looks of it
Al-Hilal finishing almost as gobshite as that trophy
The rest cant travel due to having criminal convictions!
Well done WSW, great for the A-League. Lets just hope that one day the Nix will be able to play in the comp

CCM hosting Guangzhou R&F at 9:30pm tonight.
CCM down 1-0 already
CCM still down 1-0 & don't look very likely to score
I'll admit it's been frustrating watching our misfiring frontline the last few weeks but watching CCM try to mount an attack is agony. Poor old Travis Major - he should be in a paddock munching carrots he's that big a donkey.

2-0 to not CCM now
It was worth watching to the bitter end for that one belly laugh!

Josh Rose slides the ball home brilliantly from 40 metres....past his own keeper.
Who got the goal for CCM?
Glen Trifiro. Bent a free kick round the wall into the bottom right hand corner. Keeper should've done much better though.
What the heck is Reddy's positioning up to as Rose passes the ball back.
Made the German news LOL
Pretty embarrassing though to have more away fans at your ground than your own supporters. Especially when they come all the way from Asia LOL
Also made ESPN FC

Really? Sad if true.
Although being from Guangzhou there may have been quite a few Oz-Chinese as well (most of the established ethnic Chinese in NZ and Oz are Cantonese... just cos we is the best and most travelled).
Brisbane v Beijing Guoan at 10:30pm & Kashima v Western Sydney at 11pm tonight.
Thanks for the reminder, RR. Would definitely have overlooked this otherwise.
Stream anyone?
Opps I'm an hour early.
0-0 at HT in Roar v Beijing, with Beijing down to 10 men (sounds like he stomped on someone)
Still 0-0 in the WSW game, Cole taken off after getting basically run over
WSW game goes into HT 0-0
Beijing Guoan beat the Roar with a last minute goal, whilst WSW are ahead via an own goal.
It's a pain in the arse trying to watch two football matches and a cricket match simultaneously. Have missed all the goals so far.
WSW win 3-1
I'd like to see a decent replay of that 2nd goal. Could've sworn he was well offside.
But well done WSW.

Next week, Wed 4 March, 9:30 pm NZT:
WSW vs Guangzhou Hengda (Evergrande)
...tasty.
Also Guangzhou Fuli did a smash and grab raid away at Gamba Osaka, winning 0-2. Good signs for the best Cantonese club and this should be a massive boost for them to get out of the group stage.
Two games involving A-League teams tonight:
Western Sydney v Guangzhou FC @ 9:30pm
Urawa v Brisbane @ 11:30pm
