My favourite performance was roar v fc Tokyo  even though the roar lost it was the highest level of club football i had seen on oz soil and a glimpse of what it would be like if j league clubs gave 100 percent in the acl 
Having said that last night's goals were some of the best team goals oz clubs have produced in the acl

Did you watch the match WSF?

:laugh::laugh: FMD

You got a draw, conceding 2 goals a game will not get you through to the next round.

Don't bother. The result doesn't suit bluebird's agenda and I don't think he even watched the game. 

Because if we can learn one thing from the A League its that throwing lots of money behind one player makes a difference

No salary cap means the best players in the CSL are in the top clubs. You were seeing Chinese players 300 - 330 up against a random mix of Aussie players 1 - 180

you mean the one with the $10m foreigner? yeah it was.

if the ref counted as part of the Aussie team

 

Did you watch the game?

Good to see SFC able to match it with the 11th placed Chinese cup winner

agree.
End to end - you didn't want to take your eyes off the tv.
Bobo has never very mobile but I'll take his size/positioning in the box and his leap for heading as shown by the 1st goal.
That 2nd one of ours was quality.
Yes there were errors and just as many by them.
Calver is out of his depth but how many have quoted regards AL teams to use more locals.
Mind you Arnie has thrown him in the deep end (in the club since 2012 with just 28 appearances) but that happened back in the nsl days right. Selection error we shall see I suppose but he's getting a quick lesson last 2games lol......
Overall pretty happy, night and day compared to previous game we recovered.

that was the best performance from an Aussie team in the ACL to date.. what a game to watch... it was great entertainment.

The good thing for Sydney is this seems a pretty even group, teams should be constantly taking points off eachother. But if they fail to beat Kashima at home they are almost definitely out.

Calver is not of a professional standard

In the past we have gotten a lot of points against China and half hearted Japanese teams. These days its much harder and we are forced to try and win more points against korean teams

I think they need around 9 points to advance which means at least one win away from home

Our next ACL game is against Kashima at home. A win is an absolute must.

You actually have to win games.Ask Roar.If you concede 2 goals a game you lose most games.
Calver only improved because Shanghai S ran out of legs.Next time you play you will be players short and in the thick of multiple games in quick succession.
I would say,Shanghia and SFC will miss out.

Sydney FC played really well, Adrian and Ninko were excellent.

On the other end Freddy Guarin showing why he has played for Inter Milan and Porto, such a classy player with an excellent first touch to boot. 

You do have every chance obviousy, but it does now rely on you winning at the very least 1 of the 3 games against Kashima and Suwon.

Disagree. On the basis on that game I feel we have every chance of making the next round. Calver improved tonight as the game went on. Hopefully he'll improve with game time.

Feel sorry for Calver.Talk about thrown in the deep end.
I can see why Brillante didnt make it in Italy.He just has to many mistakes in him.
All in all FC would have to be happy with that.But I cant see them getting through to the next round.That defence with the keeper looks shakier than the shaky isle across the ditch.
Arnold made a massive miscalculation with his backline formthe AFC or a certain person who pulled the pin at the last moment has stuffed things up and killed off any chance FC had.

One of the best games in ACL 
SFC had quite a few chances towards the end there especially Ninko

We should of won that. 

So Sydney has 48 hours from when they land to the derby. Will anyone contain Arnold's head from exploding from egotistical comments if they win.

He is as stiff as a board at the best of times.

A- league is definitely good enough, salary cap and all. It's a disgrace Sydney FC didn't win. 

could be  gastro

Bobo is not agile enough for this level.

This has Shanghai 93rd minute winner written all over it.
