As you're probably aware, Everton is coming to Jakarta this week for the Java Cup. As per usual here, the organization is — at best — shoddy....
He is — newspapers, magazines, TV, radio, etc. Erick, who is also the co-owner and vice-commissioner of Persib Bandung (one of Indonesia's biggest...
You can say it all you like, but you'd have a hell of a time proving it. Besides, he's the starting goalkeeper on the fifth-best team in...
I was hoping Matsu would come across this thread at some point.
Nice to see the Jakarta Post's copy-paste abilities are as sharp as ever. It bears repeating that Indonesia did not send a youth team, as has...
There wont' be much of a reception at all, actually. Fans had written this match off months ago, and it's pretty clear that Indonesia's ambitions...
Don't assume conspiracy where simple incompetence will do. The squad Indonesia rolled out in Manama wouldn't even pass for a C team -- all its...
Everything is already stacked in Adelaide's favor. It's playing at home, Persipura is jet-lagged after arriving on Wednesday morning and is...
Perhaps I stated that poorly. Only PSV is visiting Jakarta in January -- the other three clubs I mentioned have stopped by in the past few years....
PSV is scheduled to swing through the Big Durian during the winter break, joining such notable clubs as Bayern Munich, Manchester United and, um,...
Kenji Adachihara scored in his first match for new Indonesian club Persiba Balikpapan:...
They did. Air horns have been a scourge here for six months or so. There would normally be enough fans to make noise on their own, but the main...
The announced attendance was 25,700. That's tickets sold, not butts in seats, I imagine. Actual attendance is anyone's guess. I will also point...
The pitch looks about like you'd expect in a stadium that's hosted 15 matches in less than a month. It's also worth noting the main camera is...
Another 6,000 tickets sold today -- that's 21,000 so far, if you're keeping score at home. I think I see part of why this tour hasn't generated...
It's worth noting what the same guy said in the article I posted: Even for national team matches -- the one thing that reliably sells out...
76,000 tickets available, just 15,000 sold so far. Local organizers are predictably bullish:...
Good news for the fans -- maybe not so much for whomever is paying for the occasion?
If memory serves, the contract with Mahaka Sports (the local organizers) states that Beckham has to play at least 45 minutes in Jakarta. I imagine...
Or you could read the Jakarta Globe, an English-language newspaper and an official media partner of the Indonesian leg of the tour....
It was deathly dull in person, too. The official attendance was 6,000, but there wasn't more than 600 people in the stadium. Quieroz called out...
Sounds like a friendly in Jakarta is a go: http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/sports/beckham-rodman-to-grace-jakarta/473054 I'm not sure how many...
You can bank on Indonesia taking a defensive approach, probably packing the midfield with a 4-2-3-1. As long as Markus Horison starts in goal,...
