<br><div><br></div><div>ya but they only send 1 club and they barely make it anywhere in the cup. I still think it is fun though. </div>
<br><div><br></div><div>At least they get the right to dream .....sadly in asian football the lower ranked teams are not at all promoted to come up and we see only teams from 8-10 countries dominating the club and country football.....the asian format in club tournament should be on lines of UEFA tournaments </div>

I like the AFC format. Obviously it is not perfect but nor is the UEFA one either. Both got there many faults but where the AFC is better for me is using the international tournaments as a sort of prize. You have to earn the right to join the AFC Champions League and if you are really shit, earn the right for AFC Cup. </div><div style="font-family: Arial, Verdana; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; line-height: normal; "><br></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">The AFC could of course make the AFC Cup more like the Europa League and allow maybe 2 clubs from South Korea, Japan, Australia ect in the competition but that would overcrowd. Also look at the calendar. The AFC Calendar runs from February to November. All within 1 year. UEFA is all year round and every country follows there calendar. Not every AFC league follows AFC (India for example). </font></div>
