Asian delight for Australian Clubs

Still recovering from the Socceroos debacle re:Kuwait..or maybe the current player exodus?

Mark Bridge may be playing for Tianjin, Joel Griffiths against his Aussie club Newcastle Jets last week, player exodus on the rise, but the Aussie clubs still achieved good results in Asia this week.

The Mariners got a 2-2 draw in Tianjin and the Chinese side has spent some real money on new players this season.

And The Jets look liked a football team again. Although Ante Covic's dash back to Sweden and Ben Kantarovski's Munich trial next week leaves them, once again, in some disarray.

Still Aussies clubs are making a mark in Asia....despite our player exodus and with two teams from each group to qualify both clubs have a good chance of progressing after two games.

Uzbekistan...you are next.
