The Asian Football Thread

Anyway to watch J League easily?

Al Hilal won 2-0 away in Saitama, so 3-0 aggregate win in the ACL Final.

Ah bugger

Al Hilal have Giovinco, Carillo and Gomis, absolutely stacked up top.

Shame they didn’t get pumped by Urawa.

Pretty sure they weren’t shown live, but just saw highlights of the semi’s & final are up on Kayo.

Got tickets to the Emperors Cup final in Tokyo for Jan 1st.

First event held at the new Olympic stadium so i’m keen to see it. Fuck knows i was not going back there in summer for Olympics itself.

Could be a little bit of good news for A-League clubs going forward, Chinese Super League planning on introducing a salary cap to curb insane and unsustainable spending.

A selection of photos from the emperor’s Cup final today. Good fun but cold as hell.

That desperate for live football I’m off to see Tampines Rovers vs Bali United tonight. Winner to play Victory next week.

So, regardless of the result you get to belt out ā€œBeat Mel-bourneā€ post game. :+1:

Must be 500 Bali fans here easily. Good turnout. Up 2-0 after 15. They could cause victory some trouble.

What do I know. Tampines now up 3-2. 20 to go.

I Made Andhika Wijaya is the most incredible name ever.

5-3 to Bali in extra time. Great entertainment. Thought Bali moved quite well and played good direct balls until I realised they were running past a 42 year old CB, albeit one with 140 caps for Singapore.

They have some handy players though, and if Victory play a weakened team it could cost them although kruse, nabbout and Ola if he plays should run amok.

Bali away would be a top away trip.

The absolute last thing they need is more pissed Aussies on a footy trip.

Don’t know if anyones watching the Bellmare vs Urawa game on Optus, but it’s been a cracker. Going to be watching a lot of these J League games I think, now that i dont have to track down shit streams

Yeah i put it on after the A League. Some real quality football, interrupted by the most idiotic hanball in the box i think ive ever seen and one of the worst penaties ive seen in a while.

I recognise that massive ā€œhere we goā€ sign Urawa fans have from when they brought it to Sydney.

Bellmare and their bizarre 3-3-2-2 formation will feel a bit disappointed. Better team for most of the game. The pen miss too, yikes.
