Going into this weekend's Indonesia Super League games this is how the top of the table looks.
1 – Persiba 8 4 2 2 0 13-7 14
2 – Arema 6 4 2 0 6-1 14
3 – Persiwa 4 1 2 18-10 13
4 – Persela 5 4 1 0 5-1 13
The big match is undoubtedly 2nd against 3rd in Malang between Arema and Persiwa.

2010 AFC Cup draw
The draw for the 2010 AFC Cup group stage took place at AFC House in Kuala Lumpur this morning.
Thai Port were drawn in Group H with Tai Po from Hong Kong, Geylang from Singapore and one of the
losing teams from the ACL qualifying playoff. Presumably we can't be drawn against another Thai
team (Muangthong) or a team from Singapore (Geylang are already in the group), so that would leave
either Da Nang of Vietnam, or Sriwijaya of Indonesia.

Here is some video footage of one of our AFC Cup opponents, Woofoo Tai Po F.C from Hong Kong. Their
fans look like a friendly bunch, they even chant in English which is nice of them!

AFC Cup play-off idea dismissed
Dr Vichit Yamboonraung, the Chairman of the Thai Premier League, has dismissed an outrageous idea
to hold a play-off match between Thai Port FC (FA Cup winners) and Chonburi FC (TPL runners up), to
decide who gets the AFC Cup spot. Khun Vichit said, "This idea was presented at a meeting, but had
little chance happening because the qualification rules have already been set" - And they've
already done the draw!
Geylang know what to expect from Thai Port
In an interview with the Singapore League website, Geylang United manager Mike Wong said that
despite not seeing Thai Port in action, he knows what to expect from their AFC Cup, Group H
rivals.
"Looking at Thai Port, a Thai team will always be a Thai team in the way it will play fast
football.
