Volcanic Ash Could Scupper Indonesia's ASEAN Cup
There is concern among authorities that the ash spewing from the Merapi volcano could be used as an excuse to move the ASEAN Cup from Jakarta to another country.
A couple of years ago, at the last AFF Cup, Bangkok's airport was closed by nutters protesting about something but the group games were switched to Phuket so surely if people are grossed out by the thought of a bit of ash there is nothing stopping the group being moved to say Palembang?
Though of course Phuket is far sexier than Palembang!
In more Indonesian national team news the same article says that the friendly against the Philippines next Tuesday is still going ahead in Jakarta as is a game against Taiwan in the oh so exciting city of Palembang. Meanwhile there is a verbal agreement to play Cambodia but if that falls through then apparently Korean side Suwon Bluewings is an option.
