2015 Asian Cup
Posted: Thu Mar 27, 2014 11:43 am
So the groups and fixtures have been announced.
Very sad reading the games that are being played in massive stadiums like Brisbane and Sydney. When these games would be perfect for Hindmarsh. I would be surprised if all the non socceroos games at Brisbane combined crowd would fill it in one go.
Still looking very much forward to this tournament. I really think if we have a decent enough WC and the young squad members come through well. We could be a chance to take out the tournament which would be something amazing to build on for the game.
