ADELAIDE UNITED YOUTH TEAM COMING TOGETHER..read below. But don't get envious (it's a wasted
emotion truly,)get even.
Sign up as a Canberra A-League Foundation Member today and you can do more good than you're envy
will ever allow. We'd have our own Youth team. How easy is that?
ADELAIDE UNITED YOUTH TEAM COMING TOGETHER
Adelaide United FC has added to its crop of talent for the National Youth League with Coach Joe
Mullen selecting another four players into The Reds' Youth League squad.
Adelaide United fans celebrate last nights historic win. But how many people will turn-up for the
Semi Final, they're already talking about switching venues to cope with the crowd...
And whilst Australia and particularly Canberra has been slow to grasp the opportunities that Asia
can provide to football, to the city and the region; our own A-League side would benefit the
city/region like no other sport.
Quarter Finals of the Asian Champions League kick-off tonight with Australia's first club, Adelaide
United, to get to this stage of the competition away in Japan against Kashima Antlers.
Two-legged affair so United will need to score against what should be a very strong Japanese side
and a big big test for Adelaide.
Well it's not the AFL Club's, Adelaide Crows or Port Adelaide. They might have been going 150 years
but who's heard of them outside Melbourne:)
Is there even a Rugby League or Union side from Adelaide?
Adelaide United a club just a few years old, already well known across Pohang, Korea, Changchun,
China and Kashima, Japan.
In case you don't have Fox and wondering what the heck I'm going on about in AFL/NRL Grand Final
week(s), here's the video of the Adelaide goal.
And who would have thought that five years ago Adelaide newspapers and media would be front and
back page football in Grand Final week.
It's Adelaide United' chance to make history..tonight.
Finals football in September, and midweek to boot. Great news. So put away your Hawks and Geelong
scarves until the weekend, it's time to support the mighty Aussies, the mighty Reds.
And looking good for a sell-out withover 12,000 tickets pre-sold.
Adelaide taking their city to Asia, and I ain't talking about the Crows!
Anyone who saw Urawa Reds or Gamba Osaka take on Sydney and Melbourne in previous Asian Champions
League encounters will have expected the cashed up Japanese club Kashima Antlers to give Adelaide a
good thumping in the home game of the Asian Champions League Quarter Finals.
Wednesday night watch Adelaide United take on Japanese Champions Kashima Antlers for their historic
place in the Asian Champions League Semi-Finals. First leg was 1-1.
And interestingly they've been getting front and back page coverage in the Adelaide newspapers.
Even in AFL finals time.
It won't be easy but The Reds certainly are in with a great chance after last weeks, if not
Satuday's, performance.
The Melbourne Victory will have to do without Michael Thwaite and Jose Luis Lopez tonight when it
hosts Adelaide United at the Telstra Dome. Despite Melbourne's strong run of form so far this
season, this promises to be the sternest test of the Victory's strength. Adelaide are on equal
points with Melbourne, separated only by goal [.
Adelaide United were unable to capitalise on being a man up for over an hour last night, eventually
losing to the Melbourne Victory 1-0. It was a solid, tenacious performance by Melbourne, who
deserved the win. Ney Fabiano picked up a straight red card for spitting at Robert Cornthwaite, a
suspension that could well be lengthened by [.
and Robbie Cornthwaite doesn't lie, and Ref Mark Breeze wasn't duped by an Aussie full-back, but
someone is telling porkies aren't they.
Melbourne Victory's Ney Fabiano was sent-off for allegedly spitting on the weekend. But the referee
Mark Breeze stuffed up I reckon. He was standing behind the Brazilian so couldn't have seen the
spit mainly because there wasn't one, and worse he reacted to Robbie Cornthwaite's attempt to get a
player sent-off.
Matt Simon scored two stunning goals for the Mariners last night, and with Victory's erratic keeper
Michael Theoklitos given his marching orders for stomping on Sasho " I'm never innocent"
Petrovski in the second half, at 2-1 in 93+40 seconds everyone must have thought the game was
won.
And then the ball broke to Archie Thompson.
If you like your football full of passion, great skills, end to end excitement, two sets of pumped
up fans, a full stadium and a Semi Final prize up for grabs you'd have loved the Adelaide United
Kashima Antlers clash at Hindmarsh Stadium last night.
The Reds won 1-0 and made history becoming the first Aussie side into the Continents major football
tournaments Semi Final.
Rivaldo plays for Adelaide United's Asian Champions League Semi-Final opponents Uzbek side
Bunyodkor.
And they thrashed Pierre Littbarski's Iranian side Saipa 7-2 on aggregate.
Out of interest how do you get from Uzbekistan to Adelaide for a Wednesday night game..for that
matter the the other way as well:)
And you thought Perth Wellington was a long trip!
