We have little chance, but we've taken a strong line up to Japan, providing they put in 100% it should be a good game regardless.

lol.

As flat as I feel about this match, I will still be glued to Fox.

I cannot get enough of my Wanderers.

[West13]

In.

 

After watching Urawa the other day and the way they threw players forward and stacked offence I'm confident we will concede. They did look shakey at the back though.

Won't be able to make the pre game meet up but will try to catch the same train as those who are going.

[Smoggy]

Buy a few players...Borda expecially, one way tickets, no needs for returns.

Brought my shinpads, just in case

[West13]

I found Adeleke.. Maybe we can use him for this one. He is just down the road offering unlimited drinks for 4000 yen.

Just ordered a beer at a pub in Shibuya.

 

Bartender sees my jumper "Western Sydney Wanderers..... Ahhh... Ono Shinji"

 

 

 

Day made.

Is anyone having a "Lost in translation" time over there?

[DontCallMeJacko]

I'm having a "lost all the time" time over here... Google maps is no ******* help either

[tardotz]

Is anyone having a "Lost in translation" time over there?

Constantly....But it's all good fun.

[ZachMercer]

Half of me thinks we'll get smashed, the other that we'll throw everything including the kitchen sink as a last hoorah.

[DCWSW]

My Urawa mate reckons there'll be less than 30k there tomorrow...

[wswtragic]

I hope we do the "blaze of glory" stuff.

Meh, sometimes when all the pressure is off and things are already decided is when a team cuts lose and surprises everyone... could just be that kinda night.

 

I fully expect Middlesbrough for example to win their first game of the year straight after they have been officially relegated, happens like that.

 

Anyway...game day!

If we come 3rd in our group do we qualify for the AFC Cup?

No.

[DCWSW]

AFC Cup is just for developing football nations in Asia...

So... yes?

[DanButler]

Playing for contracts now?

[Smoggy]

Playing for contracts now?

 

I suspect too late for that, decisions will have already been made on who is staying and going, a few dead rubber ACL games won't change that.

[Erebus]

5-0 win to keep our hopes alive.

[MajorMelons]

Play the kids to give them the experience, anyone leaving at the end of season, which hopefully includes most imports, should not even fly there.
