I couldn't possibly care any less. In fact, I care so little I felt compelled to tell you how much I don't care.

At least they sprung for lounge passes.. probably on somebody's frequent flier card: http://instagram.com/p/hbTEgCvwH5/
Since it's the official thread, I figure this is where I should say that I officially don't give a shit.
I want to know who's going over there. That's something this fan is interested in. Oh, and I'll watch the games, I'm a lost cause.
Here is the roster none of you care about: Kickoff times are Friday at 6:30am and Sunday at 7am.

Somebody please plant some drugs in Kaspers bags before he tries to leave Indonesia to come back home
We have a roster of 20, where 6 are Richmond Kickers and of the 14 remaining United players only 6 started 5 or more games last season. Sounds good!
I wonder if there's someone on an Indonesian soccer forum bitching about these friendlies and how they cut into the season and how they're just a shallow cash grab from the Amerisnobs.
The Indonesian channel carrying the game has live streaming on their website: http://www.sctv.co.id/streaming
Also, I have flown to Southeast Asia a few times these last few months and the difference between economy and economy plus has been on average $250.00. Are these the hard times we've fallen on?
Ugh. I've made that trip several times and it is a long way. 24+ hours in the air. Hideous experience in coach, no matter what airline you're on.
Not every airline has E+ and the cost to fly the team to Indonesia in Business Class would easily pay for a decent DP.
