So they get a two day break if they win their first game? Geez unlucky.

Actually it may not be 2:00am. Just saw on another forum someone saying the games are at 3am, and they reckon ONE have their TV guide wrong.

Just checked and I think the games are at 3:00am EDT. Will see tonight...

 

[Godzke]

Well it's at least a start for ONE HD. Even though they've been doing the bundesliga it's time they start putting some serious commitment into covering UEFA matches. Should be able to work out a rights package with SBS which should improve coverage.

I assume that Al-Ahli playing Auckland City in the qualifying match is a local UAE team, not the Egyptian powerhouse Al-Ahly?

Yeah, the local team.

And by the way ONE did f**k the times up. They are now starting the coverage at 2:40am EDT instead of 2:00am. Game starts at 3:00am EDT.

 

[belfast_bomber]

Yeah, the local team.

Not Manchester City?

Oh dear Auckland City have a 46 year old drummer on their team:

Grant Young (born January 5, 1963, in Iowa City, Iowa) was the drummer for the band Soul Asylum from 1984-1995. He replaced Pat Morley shortly after the release of Soul Asylum's debut album, Say What You Will, Clarence...Karl Sold the Truck in 1984. Young's last appearance on a Soul Asylum record was their breakthrough album, Grave Dancers Union. He was replaced in the middle of the recording sessions by Sterling Campbell, who has also since left the band.
Young has said that he plays on five or six of the songs on the album; one of the songs he did NOT play on was the big hit, "Runaway Train" but did play in concerts.
After his departure from the band, Young and his wife, Cathy Mindel owned and operated a resort in the Boundary Waters region near Ely in northeastern Minnesota. They have since sold the resort, and now operate a retail business in Ely.

Well... they say the sport is played by all walks of life.

 

[Lowie01]

The Kiwi juggernaut continues. Al Ahli 0-2 Auckland City.

 

[that_dood]

Real heroic performance by the sheep shaggers. The second goal was a cracker!!!

Win their next match and they play Barca...

 

[Thewlis Dish]

Runaway Train is a cracking song.

The film clip with all the missing persons used to freak me out though.

 

[Subaru Impreza]

well played to Auckland City, absolutely beat the hopeless home side in all departments last night.

 

[that_dood]

I am expecting a cracker tonight. The Africans taking on the Koreans in 15 minutes time. I have hardly any knowledge of either team but going on stereotypes I expect the Africans to be big and black, attacking with flair, but with not much defensive cohesion. The Koreans will be small, technical players who will play on the counter and will make for a ripper match.

Now watch it turn into a dull 1-0 with both teams nothing like I described!

 

[Godzke]

2-1 come from behind win for the Koreans against the Africans I believe. They now play Estudiantes?

Yeah.

Great game. I was hoping the Africans scored another goal because I didn't want it to end! The first goal was a screamer from long range, and then the Mazembe 'keeper was top notch in the first half. Three or four world class saves. Pohang were clearly the better team and if it wasn't for the 'keeper it would have been four or five goals.

Does anyone know if Denilson is the same one the Glory tried to sign this year?

 

[Godzke]

Auckland 0 - 3 Atlante

Mexicans to meet Barca in the Semi-Final on Wed night I believe.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww....I wanted to see Ibra put 12 past the Soul Asylum drummer.

Does he want somebody to shove?

Was part of the interest in seeing the match due to Adelaide being grouped with Pohang?

Not for me.

It is I believe, once the most expensive player in the world? He still would have been dumbed down to the level of Naum Sekulovski by the Perth Glory coaching staff if he had signed though.

Why was it swtiched from Japan for the $$$ too? It's always been in Japan.

 

[ILA!]

Not for me.

Oh, of course. You're a Glory supporter and Crows fan, not Adelaide United. Mistake, got mixed up.
