Socceroos Asian cup draw
We have drawn Korea Republic, Oman and Kuwait for @AFCAsianCup Australia 2015. Thoughts on the Group?

Can't complain. SHOULD beat Kuwait and Oman in the first 2 games, then decide top of the group vs South Korea in the final game. Group B is fairly weak which is good as we will be an opponent from there in the quarters should we progress. Will make for an interesting final 4 if we can push on

Its weird that Australia gets to be seed 1 when we're not even the best ranked side in our group.
Also strange that if we win the group our QF game will be at a 30k seater stadium.
The AFC challenge cup place will be interesting. I'd love to see Palestine on the world stage. But it will probably be Myanmar, Philippines or Afghanistan.
Looking at the fixtures though there are so many games that would be perfect for a venue the size of Coopers for it. If these games that Suncorp stadium are getting in the group stage combine to a number that would fill the stadium in one go I'll be impressed.
Saudi Arabia v China PR, China PR v Uzbekistan, IR Iran v UAE, Jordan v Iraq and Iraq v Japan.

I don't see why its a shame on the FFA. Adelaide didn't bid. What was the FFA to do? Write up a bid for the slack SA Government?ozzie owl wrote:No games in Adelaide shame on FFA and SA Government.
