    $140 total for both Sydney and Newy packs - I am freaking cheering after hearing guys spending > $100 just for one ticket to the final now.

    Apparently even though it is listed as sold out, you can still buy individual tickets from the AFC website for the final.
    OK

    Not a bad game. Ben Williams still managed to **** up as 4th official. 12869 was again understated in my opinion

    I don't believe they are counting freebies at other games so I would expect the freebies everyone got today by email don't count either

    2 enthusiastic teams made for a good 3rd 4th playoff.

    if it wasnt for the ticket give away the crowd would have struggled to get above 8000 imo.

    More than ever do we need Australian football to drive the fans to love this game as our home front offers to rip it out from us.

    As I said before 3rd v 4th place games are a waste of time buying tickets early.

    The only issue with them can be if the host country is playing and even then you don't find that out until a few days prior so still have plenty of time to get in the week of the game and buy

    Result is imperative today.

    Not forgetting the trophy Confed Cup berth on the line, a pile of money into the code and also a boost for our ****ed FIFA Ranking. We need to get it up before the WC Draw is done so we are seeded.

    Winning a game of football has never been so important since November 2005

    This isn't the Jets.

    We at least have a chance to win today.

    Rather interesting feeling knowing I am going to the football today I care about the result and I believe we can win as well as lose and the whole thing is in the balance and could go either way.

    Tuesday night I was adamant we would win so the nerves and fear were not there


    Usually with the Jets I hope we win and believe we will lose.

    Amazing what a degree of confidence in the coach and players having the ability to pull it off can do

    Reports in the Australian media claimed that a movement was gathering pace within the AFC to throw Australia out.

    Australia, which is hosting the 2015 AFC Asian Cup, is set to face Korea Republic in the tournament final in Sydney on Saturday night.

    The speculation was centred on quotes from Sheikh Salman in the Dubai-based newspaper Al Ittihad, with other Australian journalists claiming on Twitter that many Middle Eastern nations were annoyed with Australia's perceived lack of commitment to Asian football.

    The Sydney Morning Herald quoted Sheikh Salman as saying: "There are indications that prove that such desire exists among the confederations of west Asia to evict Australia.

    "But I also know that the Arabs are not the only ones who are not convinced that Australia's membership in Asia's football is feasible."

    However on Friday, Sheikh Salman claimed his quotes had been "manipulated".

    "I'm really stunned with the timing to bring this topic out. It's a false topic," Sheikh Salman told the Herald Sun.

    "To read a story like this is really sad because there's no truth in it.

    "The success of this tournament has exceeded our expectations. I won't let a story like this affect the success of the tournament we had in Australia.

    "We have to put this record straight. It's been manipulated in a way to make it negative."


    To be expelled from the AFC, a member association must meet one of four criteria and then have a three-quarters majority vote to throw them out at the organisation's annual congress.

    The grounds for expelling a member association are: failing to fulfil financial obligations to the AFC; seriously violating its own statutes, codes, rules, regulations and standing orders or those of the AFC or FIFA; it ceases to be the legal football association in its own country; or it ceases to be a member of FIFA.


    Sheikh Salman claimed Australia's hosting of the Asian Cup proves its legitimacy.

    "It's been a great tournament and it's thanks to Australia, the FFA and the Local Organising Committee," he said.
