Feedback on AFF Cup draw

Singapore coach Radajoko Avramovic - "The group we are in is slightly easier than the other group where there will be three title contenders in Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia.

"And there are no secrets, our target is to be in final."

Thailand coach Bryan Robson - "I think whichever way it was going to go you are going to get at least one tough team, especially as they have home advantage," he said.

"(Co-hosts) Indonesia or Vietnam were obviously going to be in the group and provide us with a difficult game.

"We have drawn Indonesia and I have already heard that there is likely to be 100,000 spectators there and that will be a difficult challenge for the boys. But I would say that we will be one of the favourites in the competition."

Indonesia Assistant Coach Widodo Cahya Putra - “If you ask me, it’s a tough draw. However, we shouldn’t focus on that. It boils down to how well we prepare and play on the field. Malaysia and Thailand will always be in there, so will Singapore and Vietnam. We’ll meet them anyway during the competition, so how our destiny plays out is in our hands.”

Sven Goran Ericsson - "Any jobs going?"
