Joker - I thought the world club championship was being played in Japan, carnival style over a few weeks?

oh it may be, i just heard that on the radio, they are wrong often i hope its just not all in japan

Yeah heard that in the car. They were actually referring to the final which IS played home and away. The other semi involves two Japanese teams.
So if United get through they'll play either the Urawa Reds or Gamba Osaka !!

[spell_check]

Urawa are leading 1-0 going into half time - although what I am seeing now on Foxtel would be delayed.

does anyone know where i can watch The socceroos next wednesday, and adelaide united the following wednesday in Bali

Now the question is, will the FFA pospone any matches in the lead up to the second leg to allow AU the best chance to consolidate their performance tonight?

They'd bloody better!

Choices are as follows:

Qantas to Bali (cheap departures going from Exmouth next week) or Uzbek Incredabel Cultooral Lerning Airlines to Tashkent. A tough one...

[Sploosh]

The coolest bit is, if we get over Uzbeks in the second half, we qualify for the club world cup in Japan in December, whether we win or lose the current asian cup (although a win would get us a better draw). Then, with a favourable result or two, it's Adelaide vs Manchester United in the semi final, Japan, 18th December. Go Adelaide!

Dude, you're staying in Kuta ? There would be heaps of sports bars in and around there. Norm's Sports bar would probably have it on.....

[Dutchy]

Wow whatta night!!! sensational atmoshpere, was just to the right of the goals in 2nd half

Cassio the little genius, put that masterful left leg on ice, its our most valuable asset!

[Sploosh]

Ok, am I right in assuming the following is correct?

After the second game in Uzbek, if the score is:

An Adelaide win, or a draw, we win
An Uzbek 1-0 or 2-0 win, Adelaide wins on aggregate
An Uzbek 3-0 win, it's penalties to decide
An Uzbek 4-1 win, we win because away goals count double.

Basically, if we can just get a single goal somehow, we would just about be home...

they also advertised that if we make the final we have the last leg of it at home, how ******* huge would that be!!!

An Adelaide win, or a draw, we win - CORRECT
An Uzbek 1-0 or 2-0 win, Adelaide wins on aggregate - CORRECT
An Uzbek 3-0 win, it's penalties to decide - EXTRA TIME THEN PENALTIES
An Uzbek 4-1 win, we win because away goals count double. - CORRECT

Yep looking good. The big O will be back too, to make life harder for them...I can see us getting through...

BRING ON MAN U ha ha

[devilsadvocate]

Nice work on the pic Dutchy.
Got ant more?

According to this official site for the 2008 World Club Championships, http://www.pia.co.jp/fcwc-e/, the runner up in the ACL will play Waikatere from NZ in Round 1. The winner of that game then plays the winner of the ACL. The winner of that game then plays Manchester United in the semi-final as they have a free draw to the semi until then!

So in simple terms, presuming the NZ side lose in Rd 1, the ACL final will be replayed in Japan in Rd 2 with the winner playing Man U in the semis.
