Can the Mariners make it to the last 16 in the ACL?

After an amazing 3 days... winning the A-League Grand Final victory on Sunday night, hoping on a plane to Korea on Monday morning (hungover) and then beating  Suwon Bluewings - one of the best teams in the K-League on Tuesday night (whilst jet-lagged and still hungover) the Mariners have somehow set themselves up with a great chance to progress to the next stage of the Asian Champions League competition.

A win tonight against Japan's mighty Kashiwa Reysol in Gosford would be enough to ensure that the Central Coast Mariners become only the third Australian team to make it to the final 16 stage of the competition.  Kick off is Tue 30th April, 8:30pm AEST at BlueTongue Stadium if you want to get along to cheer on the boys!
