Thats all we need, Japanese football is crap and most of the players are rubbish

Cassio has returned home to Brazil for medical treatment.
There are whispers that he isnt coming back and may have played his last game for the club

[GWW]

His choice or club's choice?

What happened to naturalisation and playing for the Footballroos in 2014?

He didn't seem that happy in an interview as he left Adelaide Airport. Apparently he told the medical staff his foot wasn't right, but was told to play on against Wellington anyway until he broke down. I'd be pissed too. He's paying his own way back to Brazil, shows how little faith he has in the club's resources.

What is going on down at that club? terrible, gutless performances on the pitch. Who ever is in charge of the medical team needs to be sacked! how can u not know a player has 2 fractured vertebrae? and now Cassio is on his way back from Brazil with good news on his foot, how could the medico's stuff that up aswell? the club is an absolute shambles at the moment.

United have been drawn with Gamba Osaka (team that destroyed us in 08 ACL final), Bunyodkor (team we beat in semi's) and most probably Pohang steelers who will play off with a team from Thailand for the last spot in the group. that is 3 huge Asian clubs that regularly feature in the ACL. The way were playing at the moment im tipping we will struggle to get a point off any of these teams. the trips to Uzbekistan and Japan are pretty much write offs.

Hopefully if our fortunes turn around we will have something to look forward to once the A league wraps up.

How did we get a gig in the ACL? I thought it was the minor premier and the grand final winner, and if the same-team, the runner-up took the second place?

Australia has been given an extra spot (entering at the qualiyers ) goes to the 3rd place team at the end of the regular season, so thats how we got it, where then luckly enough to get drawn the bye out of the 5 so other 4 play off we went straight into the group stages. We are now in a group with Gamba Osaka, Buynakoor (the uzbeck team we beat in the semi's before they had a name change) and the winner of a Play off between Pohang steelers and the Thai fa cup winner.

Even Gerard wouldnt be happy losing coin on Coolen and having to pay a coach aswell.
Maybe Gerard should have used his cash to keep Flores or sign decent players instead of the duds we have recruited
