You can try to buy a championship, but you cannot buy class.

Al Hilal dove all over the place, niggled better than they got, pushed officials, headbutted and nearly ruined the post match and showed themselves to be pampered spoilt prats. Sure there were some awful calls against them, but they have only themselves and their inflated egos to blame.

Covic a deserving man of the match and tournament. How he isn't blind after the amount of laser beams he had pointed at him is beyond me.

Who would have thought 3 years ago that the Wanderers would be Champions of Asia? They've beaten the best (and the nastiest) across Asia with bugger all funding, some absolutely horrendous behaviour by opponent nations (especially in China) and the loss of nearly half their squad between the rounds and finals.

Now hopefully they can get back into form in the A-League!
