| The 2009 edition is now underway! Everybody support the Aussie sides!!!!!! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| You wont see Nathan burns line up in the ALeague season. He has signed for AEK Athens for $500,000. Parts of Burns contract had it written in that he could go to europe for a $500,000 maximum. After Bruce Djite went to Gencerbilgi for $850,000 Adelaide may have lost a few hundred thou on the Burns deal. When Burns moves on (as he surely will)Adelaide will get more. A good advert for the development of players at Adelaide and shows the A League and Australia are still producing good players. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Good on Adelaide... They played terific in there last game...These boys are going into territory where no other aussie club has gone before..great stuff!!! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Good Luck orright....I will be cheering the Reds on | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Adelaide have drawn 2007 J League champ Kashima Antlers. Kashima are ten time J League champs but best results outside of J.a.p.an has been 1/4 finals of AFC for this year (They beat a Thai side 9-1, 8-1 (runner up in Thai league), a Vietnamese side (R/up in V league) 6-0, 4-0 and a 1-0 win at home to Chinese Super league runner up and 1-0 loss away) and 2003 A3 Champions- a comp between China, J.a.p.an and Korean sides. They only supplied 2 players to the national side for the last world cup. They scored 28 and had 3 against but I think Adelaide had a tougher group with the Chinese and Korean champs and although less so Binh Duong were the Vietnamese champs too. If Adelaide can settle with it's new signings and the loss of Bruce Djite and possibly Nathan Burns then they could be looking at semi finals at least. Well there you go, you cant say J.a.p but can you say Abo ? |

| Adelaide are through to the quarters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !! A scoreless draw and some hairy moments and some good chances go begging but the fellas did enough to get through the match. A long wait until September for the quarter final but at least the opponent will be known by Sunday after the draw is done Saturday. That will give Adelaide enough time to gel with the newcomers with Bruce definitely gone and Burns likely to follow. At least Salley is now an Aussie so that gives us an 'extra' international player. Bring in the A league season! Go you good things United!!!!!!! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| i would put my money on a chelski win. roman has a lot of influence in that part of the world. and money talks! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Listened to the game on radio and Pohang again the better side but couldn't finish (not many chances for both sides anyway. Vidmars good structure and a bit of brilliance from Diego got Adelaide through. Just a draw against Yatai in China will do. Tough task considering they held Adelaide at home but after last nights ordinary game from Adelaide I expect a much better showing from the boys in red. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| adelaide win 1 - 0.. melbourne draw 1-1 adelaide are well on their way to the Qtrs! |

| By: pursdog 34 minutes ago Re:AFC CHAMPIONS LEAGUE (PREVIEW) for some real football, try this game: http://goallineblitz.com/game/signup.pl?ref=588337 7 No matter what you want to call it, it is Gridiron. Cant call a game football where only one man kicks the ball. You can call it chuck the ball or padded up ball due to players being padded up but not football. |

| Bl.o.o.dy great news coing out of Korea.Pohang Steelers have only 4 first team regulars playing against Adelaide United in their next AFC match Wed night. United will be without Constanzo and Cassio at the back and Djite is still missing but this is a chance to pile on the goals if they keep their heads. Win this and only a draw is needed in China against Yatai. Woo hoo 1/4 finals here we come! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| what an awful result from melbourne :( they were well and truly outplayed by chonburi who they were expected to beat. i can't see them having much hope of beating gamba osaka twice because they're going to have to if they want to qualify now. also a missed opportunity for adelaide to take charge of their group. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hope u all noticed I forecast 2 - 0, further down this thread. Very good wins both clubs, maybe A league is not so bad as some seem to push around Oz eh? Thought Victory looked extremely good. Well done to both. Bring on China and Japan! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I'm glad we won too sportzgal but not quite my sentiments including Bruce D. He is getting better all the time and I think he took over from Burnsy this year as a young player of great promise. If there is an A League squad of Socceroos that lines up in a WC qualifier then he should be in the squad, but I expect a better Aloisi after having a look at ALeague with CCC last season and of course there is Archie Thompson. I think Scott McDonald needs to prove himself away from the Scottish league but long term it is he and Josh Kennedy who should be partnered up front. All we need now is to win our 3 games at home and take a point in Vietnam and we're through. Long road to travel before that though. |

| great wins :) hopefully they can keep it up and progress out of the group. good crowd in melbourne for a wednesday night. the correlation between melbourne and the other two clubs is that they are a-league clubs... both clubs had lower crowd levels in the champions league. i think that will be the case also with melbourne with them expecting their largest champions league attendance in last night's match. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| WHOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO WHAT A WIN!!! Pohan were suppose to win easaly pre game. They have 1/2 the korean national team playing AND we were 10 men down for 40min That was a gusty win, our BEST win to date! And if Bruce doesnt play for the Soccerooo then Pim needs his head read! GO U MIGHTY REDS!!!! |

| Pohang Steelers 0 Adelaide 2 (Cornthwaite 3, Djite 54) GO UNITED! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Pohang Steelers - $150 million clubrooms/hotel complex Adelaide United- Leased Hindmarsh stadium from the government. One Denilson lines up for Pohang whilst Adelaides best credentialled is Paul Agostino who is not playing this match. As much as Adelaide is up against it I look forward to them putting up a good show. At least Aurelio Vidmar will not leave you wondering on the attcking front. As for crowd comparisons, people tend to forget the population disparity and probably the way last season A League finished for Adelaide might have something to do with the crowd factor. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Toad Cannot see the correllation between Victory and the two clubs u mentioned. There will be good crowds as long as Victory play well (to their potential) and the opposition are competitive, especially against SKorean and Japanese sides IMO Cheers |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Will Melbourne be able to sustain big crowds throught the Champions League? I know they are expecting a good crowd for tonight's first match, but Adelaide United and Sydney FC struggled to get crowds around their A-League average level last season. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Crab Very important for a first up win here. Looking forward to see Victory at their very best. Thompson will be important imo, needs to be creative and open up those fickle Asian defences. Forecast 2 - 0 to the home team. Cheers |
