Gonna be tough for the local lads is my succinct comment!
Phaitoon Thiabma, who enjoyed a couple of spells with Persijap in the Indonesia Super League, has
been called up by new Thai coach Winnie Schaefer ahead of their opening World Cup Qualifiers.
Missing from the squad is the Thai Premier League's Sarayut Chaikamdee. I watched Thailand during
last years AFF Cup and often felt their game lacked its normal fluidity by having the relativley
static Sarayut as a target man.
As recently as October, 2008 I was at the Thunderdome in a crowd of less than 300 people. And, if
it hadn't been for the two coach loads of SriRacha fans who were also in the stadium, which at the
time consisted of just one stand, it would have been considerably less. When you bear in mind that,
even though they were top of the league, they brought no fans whatsoever to Assumption for the two
clubs meeting earlier that season (unless you count the minibus full of African schoolboys from M.
They have 16 points from six games, three points clear of Osotspa M-150 and Chonburi FC in the
16-team league.
For many fans, this is a surprise. In fact, it is not as Bangkok Glass are "old wine in a new
bottle".
Bangkok Glass were formerly known as Krung Thai Bank, who were disbanded after last season to avoid
legal problems.
Thailand midfielder Surat Sukha is set to become the first Thai to play in the Australian
league.
Great news for the A-League and a fantastic initiative by Melbourne. Let's Surat brings a little
bit of Thai football skill to our league and has a great season.
And for my AFL friends when did a Melbourne AFL Club ever recruit an Asian player!
For a game with nothing at stake, last night's Melbourne Victory game was one of the most enjoyable
Victory matches I've seen in a while. Maybe it's because there was nothing to play for (except
pride of course). This was free-flowing football, with plenty of chances at both ends and nice
saves from both 'keepers.
The Melbourne Victory finishes off its first Asian Champions League campaign with nothing to play
for but pride, up against an opponent with just as little to play for. Melbourne could finish
second in the group if it beats Chonburi FC tomorrow - a small consolation to cap off a frustrating
ACL debut.

Well that wasn't expected. Chonburi FC wreaked havoc on the Melbourne Victory last night, trumping
the Aussies with a 3-1 victory that put them at the top of Group G. While Melbourne's performance
against the Chunnam Dragons mirrored the type of football they were playing towards the end of the
A-League season, last night regurgitated memories of [.
Chonburi FC hosts the Melbourne Victory tomorrow night in Bangkok. It may not be their home
stadium, but the Thai champions will be hoping that the heat and humidity of Bangkok will give them
an edge over the Victory. Both teams enter the match on the back of a good result: Melbourne downed
the Chunnam Dragons [.
Chonburi FC have been ordered to play their final home game of the season at a neutral ground after
crowd trouble in the Thai Premier League this week.
Second-placed Chonburi drew 2-2 with relegation strugglers Chula United at Sirindhorn stadium on
Wednesday.
Their fans were furious that referee Chaovalit Sananwai disallowed a goal for off-side, a move that
dented Chonburi's chance of winning the title.
Toronto FC's Academy squad tied London City 2-2 in Canadian Soccer League action.
SK Brann scored 4 times in their victory over FK Bodø/Glimt in today's Tippeligaen action.
Forward Thorstein Helstad ended the match with a hat-trick adding to his
league-leading goal total.
Se está disputando la edición 2012 del máximo certamen asiático de clubes, que se jugó por
primera vez en 1967 como "Asian Champion Club Tournament". Participan los principales equipos de
las doce asociaciones mejor rankeadas de Asia (6 del Oeste y 6 del Este).
Un total de 36 equipos formaron parte esta vez, comenzando con dos rondas previas a la fase final
de grupos.
It is a form of gratitude that he want to repay those who believe in him in the first place that
center-back felt Thailand is the place to be.
"It was while training with Chonburi FC that I told them I wanted to play there and with their help
I was able to play for Ban Bueng FC, whose owner is also the brother of the Chonburi FC's owner.

Defending champions Bangkok Glass confirmed the earlier quibbles of not coming back to defend the
RHB Singapore Cup they won last year, while last season's runners-up Tampines Rovers will face
Geylang United in a "eastern derby" showdown.
Strikers: Chayanan Pombuppha (Police Uited), Patchaya Narach (n/a), Krirkrit Thaweekarn (Sriracha

They play Palestine next week after friendlies against Malaysia and Pakistan.
This is the third in our series of Asian Champions League previews. So far, we have covered the
Melbourne Victory and Chunnam Dragons. Location: Chonburi, Thailand Stadium: Suphachalasai Stadium,
35 000 (switched there from Chonburi Municipality Stadium, due to the latter's small size and lack
of floodlights) Coach: Annop Singtotong It's hard to find much about Chonburi FC.
