AFC Cup 2008

Group D: South China, Victory, Kedah, Home United.
Group E: New Radiant, Kitchee, Singapore Armed Forces, Perak

Expect bth S-league teams Home U & SAFFC to make into QF

Their grps r nt even difficult

Group D
South China (Hong Kong) - HK Biggest club but Home has a equally great team especially if Peres return with a strikeforce of Indra & Ludovick
Victory (Maldives) - Nt a factor
Kedah (Malaysia) - Treble champions but Home can take them on

Group E
New Radiant (Maldives) - Nt a factor
Kitchee (Hong Kong) - Nt a factor
Perak (Malaysia) - A Malaysia powerhouse but SAFFC is a S'pore kingpin capable of destorying them with take a pick of yr goalscorers like Duric, Ashrin Shariff, Chaiman etc

I think that it´s the time to Noh Alam Shah goes to another big club. I hope that he can go to Indonesia. It´s a good team.

In addition, S'pore will also played against Oman on Jan 27

Hi,

is already known precisely, which teams will compete in the new Singapore 2008 league?

The same 12th S-league teams as 2007

Are you sure? I think that it´s not change in the web but could be other teams.

If there were any new teams, S-league will have announced them by the end of 2007 as previous years shown

Also no time left to preview & slot them in now as the league is starting early in 6 weeks time in February this year

Ok ok. As every year my team will be Tampines Rovers, although Noh Alam Shah leave the team.
