Asian Champions league Elite Group

Very exciting though, cool to be in the conversation with Asia's biggest clubs again. How good would it be to beat Kewell or Muscat in front of the sauce bottles, love to see it

iirc hutch is kewells assistant.

even better!

ep, also we went to 0.00 in 2021 (and low in 2020) because of COVID but China basically did the same in 2021 and 2022. China's going to plummet as the 2019 and earlier coefficient points age out.

From what I recall they made us send teams in COVID in a year they didnt count results then when we didnt go the following year they gave us zero. Absolute garbage from the AFC.

It was garbage politicking by the AFC but is the unfortunate reality for the next few years at least.

APL need to help the clubs that qualify for the next few seasons to make sure we get the Coefficient back up. Our win and Macarthur's run will help at least.

Yes and they are through to the Champions league final, 1st leg this Saturday. Only mid table in the league though, I guess not everybody can handle the twin demands of doing well in the domestic league and continental cup

I hope we get them in the group stage.

There is no group as such. All 12 east teams are in the same pool. 8 match days where you play 8 other teams and it could be home or away. I have no idea how that works in reality but its the AFC. Top 8 of 12 go through to knockout stages.

Sounds more confusing than the AFC Cup

Where every round was a final. Till we eventually won the finals final

Or as we know it the payday final

 

[Tevor]

I hope Niz and Kaltak can be kept with some of the AFC money.

I would kill to see them up against these Japanese teams.

The AFC money is pretty much spent, big chunk for the players and the rest covers the tournament and other expenses. Players deserved a big chunk of it.

D'après ce dont je me souviens, ils nous ont fait envoyer des équipes en COVID en un an, ils n'ont pas compté les résultats puis quand nous n'y sommes pas allés l'année suivante, ils nous ont donné zéro. Des ordures absolues de la part de l’AFC.

AFC is one of the most embarrasing Confederation🤡

 

[Emeriners]

Il n’y a pas de groupe en tant que tel. Les 12 équipes de l’Est sont dans la même poule. 8 jours de match où vous affrontez 8 autres équipes et cela peut être à domicile ou à l'extérieur. Je n’ai aucune idée de comment cela fonctionne en réalité mais c’est l’AFC. Les 8 premiers sur 12 accèdent aux huitièmes de finale

And so we could face only 🇨🇳🇰🇷🇯🇵 clubs like we could have a more balanced group schedule while playing against 🇹🇭and Johor, so i wonder how they are going to proceed to have fairs schedules for each 12 club 🤔
