That was such a boring game lol mariners got the ball way to easy in the box. Not gonna bother with bulls tonight 

Bulls 6 Cebu 0 at halftime.   Bulls had 80% possession in the first half.

These wins will help our co-efficient for the next ACL and ACC won't they? Good that both the Bulls and Mariners are doing well. Also good to see city topping their group.

call to deny visas to shan united when they aus later this year.

Are you Pauline Hanson? lol

As long as it helps the coefficient then we should get back an ACL spot back in a year or two, probably at minimum the half spot first.

This is how it works, you drops points you lose a spot to another country I think the year the teams didn't play in the AFC Champions League in 2021 has costed us crucial points and therefore the coefficient went down further as a result but the years prior the clubs haven't done well in this competition. 

It's harsh but thats how the system works, thats why the clubs need to take this more seriously because this what happens when they don't.

It's Pro/Rel in action at the highest club level in a form. Something to earn and something to lose. Just that it applies across the league rather than to individual clubs in the making.

Good to have results from Bulls and Mariners. It helps us to see where we fit in our regional standings and exposes at least a couple of clubs to different conditions. A bit like the Australia Cup in the mix of teams. I haven't watched them play yet, but do you get the feeling our opponents are sort of around the NPL level - some low NPL and some high NPL?

im simply repeating what i read on abc news lol

Ok fair enough, my apologies. 

That article is typical ABC ‘soccer’ bashing.

It is interesting that there is a capital strike in Australia whereby the property cartel is refusing to build enough houses for our population whilst our government loads a heap of migrants on the country, but there is nary a cry from the media about the increased homelessness and resultant poverty for our less fortunate citizens.

As the WEF says, renting by 2030 and happy about it, but don't talk about the corruption and malfeasance that will get us there.

What does that make the clubs that just got thumped by the Central Coast and Macarthur in a massive way? And we're in the off season.

Charlie..........are you there!

Would not really call it soccer bashing. It is a view point that is often played out.

Macarthur and the FA tried hard to have the game relocated to a safer neutral location but the Asian Governing Body refused, assuming they considered it safe enough. Huge fines and suspension from the comp was imminent if they didn't participate. So I think it was newsworthy.

During the Johnny Warren era the Socceroos were strongly encouraged (if not directed) by the Federal Government to go to play Vietnam and it was done so for political reasons. I can recall Johnny later saying the team could hear bombs going off in the background from the field.  

There is a strong case for not mixing sport with politics, but it happens.
