They chose Tokyo. The final two teams are Al Ittihad of Jeddah,Saudi Arabia and Pohang Steelers of Pohang, South Korea. Obviously, the AFC were hoping for a Japanese team to make the final (as the two last ACL had been won by Japanese sides) but this could have ended in disaster if Pohang Steelers lost to their semi-final opponents, Qatari side Umm Salal. Imagine this: A Saudi team and a Qatari team playing a match in Tokyo. I doubt the attendance would even crack 100 people! This is bad for Ittihad fans. They have a round trip of 12'000 miles to make. For reference, ManU fans can fly to rome and back 6 times and still have miles to spare. Fuck you AFC. :( |
Lol, I understand it in the CL, countries are very close to each other and teams are more well known so even if you dont support any I would go and watch Real Madrid vs Man U for example if it were in my city. That was ridiculous.
