Rivaldo finaly explains, in a little more detail, how and why he abandoned AEK for the football
hinterland of Uzbekistan. A few things to note about this article. First, Bunyodkor general
director Tavakkal Kadirovich is quoted as saying the negotiations took two months. SO basically as
soon as last season was over [.
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.
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.
Brazil great Zico has reached a deal to coach Uzbekistan's Bunyodkor for one year.
Zico, who was without a club since leaving Turkey's Fenerbahce this year, was on his way to
Uzbekistan on Monday.
"There is a verbal agreement with club directors and I'm traveling to sign the contract,"
Zico said in a statement on his Web site.
A very big truck from SAKAI.
The other codes said Aussies didn't care about the Asian Champions League.
Well here's evidence to show they do.
Adelaide United just 900 tickets left for tonights Quater Final against Kashima Antlers. What code
wouldn't like a midweek sell-out!
After thoroughly enjoying the AFC Champions league match between Adelaide and Kashima on Wednesday
it got me thinking, where is my "FoxSports Football" channel.
Late last year a lot of rumours were circulating that FoxSports was set to launch a dedicated
Football channel. The channel was rumoured to have a much more expanded coverage of Football across
the globe including :
1.
Here are 2 names the A-League can do without:
Ney Fabiarno - for violent conduct (which he got away with) and spitting (which he will get around
5 weeks for)
Cristiano - for diving
Adelaide played their game, which is demonstrate physical dominance across the park. They were
doing a fair bit of diving up front, particularly Reid but also Cristiano.
Join us at the Nearpost on Tuesday to to talk Socceroos, A-League, Asian Champions League and Tom

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!
Key Questions and answers this week:
Will Mark Bosnich get caught out again either kicking or coming to clear the lines. Yes and it will
be fun to watch, or maybe embarrassing.
Can Perth win at home? Not this week.
Will the Jets turn up? Not unless Van Egmond solves the central midfield woes.
