    Anyway, these are "our" two groups for 2007:

    --Group E:
    URAWA REDS
    Sydney FC
    Shanghai Shenhua
    Persik Kediri (India)

    -- Group F:
    Bangkok University
    KAWASAKI FRONTALE
    Ps Arlema Malang (Indonesia)
    Chunnam Dragons FC (Korea)

    It should be quite easy for Frontale, while Reds should watch out for Shanghai and Sydney. (I am assuming -hopefully rightly- that two teams per group qualify...)

    The other East Asia Group (G) has Adelaide, Ilwha (Korea), Shandong (China) and the Vietnamese champions.

    The other groups are basically all composed by teams starting with "AL"... ;)

    Games start in march, schedule HERE:

    Re: J-League Clubs in the ACL [R]

    No one club per group, which make ACL really competitive.

    Unfortunately, only one per group goes through. Sorry to burst your bubble. :(

    Urawa Reds, Kawasaki Frontale, and the ACL 2007

    Please post HERE for whatever regards this season's Asian Champions League.

    Considering how the two Japanese clubs involved have quite an audience, I hope this year we will hear more about this competition.

    I thought it'd be a massacre, but not so!
    1-1 after 45m.

    Yup, the Indonesians are a crazy lot too alright. Sadly it hasn't really caught onto the rest of SE Asia...

    Urawa beat Persik Kediri 3-0, but in reality it should have been more according to Osieck. They also outshot Persik by 26-1 if that's any indication.

    Re: Urawa Reds, Kawasaki Frontale, and the ACL 2007

    Maybe it wasn't that bad...?

    Of course there is an assumption that South and SE Asia teams are widely inferior; however, they are destined to improve aswell. Just think about how Japan's clubs and the NT have improved in the last 10 years or so...

    Anyway, let's try not to insult other teams... thanks! :cool:

    Well, Uwara had 26 shot to 1, so yes they should have scored more.
