Do you know what time the games are at? I checked the AFC website, but it doesn't mention the time zone for the times listed on the website. I'm pulling an all-nighter so might as well watch something. Edit: nvm I found out
Well done seongam, i wanna see japanese teams look ridiculous in ACL this year, make my day. Have you guys heard of the korean press interview after this game ? Korean press started to ask questions that weren't related to the game, like : -how do you feel after this defeat, and japan losing 3-1 to korea in tokyo ? -what about the semi-finales of the WC ? Takahara answered "if i was at the head of the team, it would be possible" the press cloud laughed their asses off at that moment. If anyone could find a video of this i would be very thankful.
All home sides grab 3 points... Kashima Antlers 1-0 Changchun Yatai Bunyodkor 3-0 Al Ittihad Beijing Guoan 1-0 Melbourne Victory Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma 2-0 Kawasaki Frontale
Ha Ha. I guess not an unexpected result. Lovrak picked up a hat trick. Not sure who he is. New pick up for Jeonbuk?

Cheers for the highlights mudang. Wasn't it Molina that was so big for seongnam last year? Or was another guy from Colombia? Anyhow they looked good and should be a far better team than last years I'm excited about the suwon game tonight. Cho won Hee and Kim do hyeon in the midfield will be a sight to see. Kim was huge in the kleague last year. Hopefully he'll regain some confidence he lost over the break. I hope JJJ gets to play. Suwon fans always give him so much crap when he is on the pitch. He is a grade A douche
Yes that was Molina aka Mao. He scored 10 goals while playing only second half of the season. He's been a jackpot for Seongnam, not many fans will miss Mota because of him. Single handedly led Seongnam to FA Cup finals and Play-off finals. Is JJJ still playing for Gamba? I thought he wanted to move somewhere for more playing time... Suwon's squad looks decent on paper but won't know until we play. The two Brazilians are still questionable to me, while I look forward seeing our new drafted player Oh Jae-suk, prospect from Yong-In FC and also member of HMB's U20 starting XI. People say he's supposedly our next 'Song Jong-guk'.
I wonder if that new stadium roof is going to increase attendance for Seongnam this year... Sad this match wasn't broadcasted in Korea, ironic how we have to watch this through Arabic channel while the match is played in Korea. It's tough being a K-League fan... To add salt to the injury, Xports is no longer broadcasting any sports matches because their broadcasting rights have been taken over by SBS and they've turned it into economy channel.
ADL 1 : 0 POH HT Leckie's individual effort forces an own goal by Pohang defender. It seems individual skill of adelaide vs organization and team work of pohang. Let's see what happens in the second half.
Suwon Bluewings (KOR) 0-0 Gamba Osaka (JPN) Sanfrecce Hiroshima (JPN) 0-1 Shandong Luneng (CHN) Adelaide United (AUS) 1-0 Pohang Steelers (KOR)
I find it very difficult to comprehend with the amount of talent Suwon has on the pitch with the ability of Cha. Someone has to step in as he's just an untouchable figure.
K-League must seem like heaven in the views of EPL managers lol. Anyways, I didn't get to see the match but from what I've read it seems like all familiar story. People said the two Brazilians upfront were really disappointing, some are suggesting we play with no strikers at all 4-6-0. Fans say Juninho was impressive at the back, let's hope he doesn't end up like Alves. O boy... I'm worried about our season opener against Jeonbuk this weekend... A bit of shock for Pohang's loss...
Anybody that said that both brazilians were no good doesn't know anything about football. While Jose Motta was playing hide and seek the whole game, Reinaldo was creating chances and getting good touches. As for juninho, all I can say is that he is going to score some great free kicks this year. Plus our defence looked 100x better than last year. It was both teams first game so you can't expect the best
It really wasn't that much of a shock, consider the fact Pohang went from a freezer to an oven in terms of temperature, their important players i.e. Kim jaesung, Hyungil, Noh byung joon and Shin hyung min just returned to the team, Seol ki hyeon being injured and the fact that Adelaide finished their season in good form (despite being wooden spooners), I was actually expecting Pohang to lose. Good for me as I go for Adelaide united and Seongnam
