We Are The Reds

Urawa completed wiped the floor with the Wanderers and Muangthong played well against Brisbane for their point.

Shanghai's away win against Seoul was bit of surprise.

WSW only shot of the game was at 93 mins from about 30 yards out, went about 10 metres over the goal.

Bozza and rudan getting stuck in again calling it a dark day for aussie football. I disagree, its a simple case of economics.

There is big money in china, korea, japan and even thailand. Their best players do not leave for europe apart from the absolute elite like kagawa and honda instead they stay in asia and contribute to their leagues depth.

Then their mid teir players rarely seek a move overseas until their career is on the slide, take aufcs current import Kim for example.

Now compare this to australia, our half promising youth leave for europe upon the first offer they get. Our mid tier players are chasing big money in asia and our best are all in europe.

The only way this will change is if more money comes to aussie football and filters into the clubs. We ARE NOT behind these ither countries interms of football quality, but infrastructure and investment we are lacking.

If every aussie who was not playing in one of the top 5 leagues came back home to the aleague we would be very competitive in asia.

Rudes and bozza need to compare apples with apples.

Disagree sorry. Those leagues have been holding their players back due to high wages for sometime not just the last couple of seasons. HAL clubs have shown they can match it many times in the past. Obviously this is a one off, but I think its an indication that the standard of HAL clubs (which are obviously made up of local players) isn't progressing the same as other leagues (which is also made up of local players generally).
Just like how the youth NTs continue to decline. As do HAL clubs in Asia.

Only 2 coubs have been succesful in acl from aus and bith aufc and wsw played defensive counter attacking football and more often than not found a way to win despite being outplayed.

When aussie teams strive to play good football in acl and win by doing so then i think its a fair assesment
