Asian Champions League 1 and 2 thread

Not my point. I have said this to you in the past, but most people of effnick background in NSW , do not identify as Australians, even if their parents were born here as well. Wee Segecic rings a bell.
Do you mean this wee Segacic that seems to be smiling from ear to ear when he bangs them in for Australia?
He looks like he is quite happy to identify as Australian here...



Stop telling me what the xenophobes want to the message to be, and try asking people for their opinion rather than dictating what you think it should be. Sure there are a few smooth brains from every background, but you saying "most" is an opinion not a fact in any shape or form.

You have no fucking clue about up here, so stick to your opinions in your own state. So why is wee Segecic, now playing for Croatia?

Ive got enough of a clue to know you cant get away with "But I know I guy who worked with a guy who's sister once went out with a guy who said he is Greek not Aussie .
 
Sorry mate, but either Im wrong or you are: Top flight (at loeast to AFC) means the Aleague.. its the FA who offered the ACL2 spot to the Australia Cup winner... but to the WINNER not runner up.... Heidelberg have qualified under FA's changed "rules" but my question is why change them for Heidelberg and NOT Sydney Croatia who wre in teh same spot a few years ago, and also why change them at all unless its to piss off the Aleague?

AFC Champions League Two (ACL2) licensing requires clubs to meet strict criteria under the AFC Club Licensing Regulations (Edition 2026), encompassing sporting, infrastructure, personnel, legal, and financial standards. Clubs must finish in the top 50% of their top-flight domestic league, demonstrate a two-year association membership, and have a compliant stadium
The stadium does not need to be your home ground. SFC have played at four different stadiums in the past 20 years in AFC competitions.

And obviously the FA, are pro Greek and anti Croatian.
 
What is the precedent? That you dont even have to win the GF to go to Asia? What about making the Semi final, do they get automatic entry to?

If Heidelberg does get to go to Asia the ones that would feel the most hard done by and justifiably so would be Sydney Croatia. Why didnt the FA apply for them to go?
Because Macarthur did not win the league
 
0ike i said, you have NFI. Apparently, these days it does not matter where you are born!! Not my wee view BTW.
I have enough of an idea to respect every persons right to feel however they want about their heritage and ethnicity. It make them no more or no less an citizen by birth or registration or whatever the rules of each country are..
You obviously feel differently and thats YOUR OPINION. I dont tell you that you MUST feel Australian because I know heaps of Brits who have spent a large chunk of their life here and tell me that they do.... In fact the two Scotts I know fairly well, while still fiercely Scottish, are very much proud Aussies despite their thick as mud accents (both sadly Aleague fans which makes me sick) ...
 
Because Macarthur did not win the league
Sure, thats valid, but as has been also mentioned, in msot other coutnries where the Cup winner gets continental football, if the are already tied in as league winners, then the next spot goes the league standing NOT the cup loser.
 
All FA's have the right to nominate clubs, should one team win both titles, even in UEFA. This is really cutting you up that Heidelberg are sitting at the top table and not in the OFC, either.
Yeah Im losing heaps of sleep over it. Part of me hopes they do get selected to play, they'll certainly put in more of an effort than most franchises thats for sure. It may be fun cheering on some teams from Tajistikan and Thailand for a change.

What about this girl?


Or this bloke?



I think it’s only a minority who clearly don’t see themselves as Aussies. They may be proud of their identity but I think most aren’t stupid enough to actually think they just “live” here. There are however groups that don’t identify with their home nation due to conflict, discrimination, mistreatment and separatism, for example Assyrian Australians will identify as Assyrian and Australian but not as Iranian, Iraqi, Syrian or Turkish.

Talking about in general, not footballers.

It will certainly be a step up from Fiji, Tahiti and other Oceania giants. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
