Fuckkk, we had to get the team furthest away from Tokyo :(

Oh well. Hiroshima, here I come!

CC will either do great in Hiroshima, or they will bomb out.

.....

:lol: :lol: :lol:

would have liked the wanderers to draw the red diamonds but ah well

You can just feel the fear radiating from Hiroshima

guangzhou if we get in ffs.

Fun fact: Arnie used to play for Hiroshima.

ARNIE = LEGEND

Makes it shit TBH.

Whats cheaper to get to out of Seoul, Hiroshima and Beijing/Chonburi?

China x 1000

Japan and Korea both the same - Very expensive.

I went to China last year though so am doing Japan this year for something different. You should join me :)

Ok so the 4th team in WSW's group will either be Yokohama. F. Marinos or Cerezo Osaka.

Wanderers probably got the pick of the groups. I'm not happy about getting Guangzhou.

I noticed Guangzhou just beatend by Guizhou in China's FA Cup final...tough draw for all 3 teams...

You could fear they may burn out...ahhh that was forced. I'll come back to this later.

Guangzhou are the reigning ACL champions, their owners have invested a ton of money into them to make them competitive.

So does Guizhou...heard their owner cashed out over AUD$10M for winning the FA cup...sure they would burn more for the squad next year.

The only way to really get a 'good' group in the CL is to avoid one of the champion teams. Luckily for WSW they did that. They still got 2nd place in China & Korea though. The Japanese team will be 3rd Place, 4th place or the Emperor's Cup runner up if Sanfrecce win that.

There are still significant restrictions in the AFC Champions League. It frustrates me to see that we restrict alcohol companies etc. to invest along with foreign investors. We need them to bring in those who aren't making it in South American and European national teams and drawing them to Europe.

Plus more teams and promo/rele and cup comps for better competition.

Too soon? I think not

Seriously though it will be a blast.

We'll talk soon about it babe

Hoping for Shunsuke v Ono Shinji. Although, if we win the Emperor's Cup and end against Victory, I won't complain.

Yatta!

Looking forward to playing the J-League side.

i believe the aud 10m thing is a rumor but it is True that guizhou is a super rich club, in fact all the four csl clubs have big budgets, see the threads in world football forum

Skin tingles at the thought of these big matches.

-PB

Is there anywhere that says what date each match will be played?

I can't find the date for CCM's away game in Hiroshima anywhere :(

i really dont mind it at all. give other teams a chance in the ACL for once

I don't know how you came to that conclusion.

The J-League finished on Saturday, and the runner-up for this year (who are in group H) is Yokohama F. Marinos. 3rd place is Kawasaki Frontale, who are in group E.

It's MV that will end up with either the Emperor's Cup winner, runner-up or 4th place (Cerezo Osaka).

The atmosphere crackles like a Geiger counter... 8-[

Fly into Osaka, 2 hour shinkansen west, Done. Travel booked. I take a 10% commission.
Oh and for a date, Wiki says 23 April and is generally correct. But I'd wait as a just in case.

As for the groups, I'm calling Group H the group of chokers. Especially if Yokohama are in there.
And yeah it's going to take a small miracle for any of our teams to get out of the groups, and ironically despite being in the qualifiers victory might have the easiest group. Guangzhou Evergrande have lost a couple of their good imports (conca and miuquiri i believe), easiest Korean team available and potential only the cup winners from Japan. Easy right?
However the group E is the group of Death in the East, All four teams could easily progress as Buriram have form in the area.
