3 out of 4 through! So, where is this catastrophy for JApanese football everyone was talking about now?
Last 16 fixtures: Cerezo vs Guangzhou Kawasaki vs Seoul Hiroshima vs Western Sydney Jeonbok vs Pohang
Tough draw for Cerezo and Kawasaki, but hopefully we'll get 2 japanese teams through to the next round. Overall: 3 Japanese Teams 3 Korean Teams 1 Australian Team 1 Chinese Team
I don't think it's tough for Frontale. Seoul isn't the same team from last year. I think they will advance.
Maybe Popovic missing was a good thing, btw, who was the person replacing Popovic to relay instruction to Cerezo players? How can 2 Korean teams face each other in the final 16?
Round of 16 was already determined by Group winners against runner ups. Next round however will have country-protection so that teams from same country won't be able to face each other
