AFC cup draw 

Macarthur drew Cebu (Philippines) Shan (Myanmar) Phnom Penh (Cambodia).

Cool draw for Mariners who get Bali, Terengganu (Malaysia)  Stallion Laguna (Philippines)

Media and all that but does anyone know or have they been to Bali United? I'm sure plenty of fans would be honoured to have foreign visitors and maybe the disdain only extends to Indonesia rivals yet this might not be the safest place to go for away fans.

Get to the money 

Ouch for Sainsbury. His team lost 1:0 after 120 against Navbahor from Uzbekistan. Another club from Uzbekistan, AGMK beat Al-Arabia of Qatar in qualifying so that's two Uzbek clubs in at the expense of 2 Qataris. No safety net to AFC Cup either. Iranian giants Persepolis were beaten by Sharjah of UAE.

You mean when they filmed all the rich Arabs in the audience? :D

Iran away for Al Nassr will be big. Lion City Sailors and Incheon with Wright and Dellbridge respectively are in the draw. Good that Pathum Utd beat Shanghai Port in qualifying. Here we go for City...

We got a good group 

I mean hey, always respect the opponent, but City have dodged some big ones. They've got Buriram and Ventforet of J2 and Zhejiang. Still very tricky but advancement has to be the goal if it wasn't already. Avoiding league clashes ruled out a lot of combinations. 

Kitchee would've been nice for HK travel.

After City, can watch the Mariners AFC cup game... woop woop!

Yep need to get Paramount tomorrow to watch Incheon vs Yokohama which should be a good game 

Does anyone know how the AFC cup knockout finals works exactly? seems confusing to me to promote 9 teams to the playoffs and my head is bricked trying to read the wikipedia article.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_AFC_Cup#Knockout_stage

Last year's might give some indication but it may have changed.

Yikes. 1. Guarantee an arab team in the final and 2. run their opponents around over two extra finals stages before they get there.

Doesn't seem all that fair.

That said, AFC cup is a pot worth winning with the new prize money on offer. Have at it fellas

It might be because of league ranking but I wouldn't put it past West Asia setting it up for their own benefit.

Holy moly Yokohama vs Incheon is a great game turn it on if you can 

Ronaldo's Club ventured into Iran for their game, huge seens as the bus was commuting to hotel.

Got to say its great for football despite the ME.
Worse fans were banned from the game played behind closed doors lol.....
The Asian Football Confederation has ruled that the game be played behind closed doors as punishment for a controversial 2021 online post by Persepolis before a match against an Indian team.

is paramount showing both afc champions league and the afc cup games?

Wella Woman is even gonna get a SIM card with unrestricted internet access...... Meanwhile millions of poor Iranians wont even be able to stream the game they have been locked out of.....  They'll have to sit on the floor of their huts and tell their children about the one time they saw Ronald drive past in a bus, while their women remain silent in the corner covering their faces and hair for fear of the religious police...... 

Champions league is on Paramount

AFC cup is on ten play 

AFC Hub on Youtube has live matches as well. Watching MC on it right now

I'm having trouble finding it does anyone have a link? 

Perhaps i have to be in a particular country

Looks like there are more japs there. I hope city get pumped 😂😂😅

Only one side of the ground is open (well half of it) and half of the fans are Japanese.
