Hey, Arsenal fans: Football is back!
The 2012-13 season has not yet been over for two months, but the wait for the Gunners to get back on the field has seemed interminable. Now, the boys in red and white are ready to get back at it in the first friendly of their preseason tour.
Once again, Arsenal have ventured to the Far East to allow otherwise isolated fans a chance to see their favorite players in the flesh while faithfully wearing their kits. (Why the club refuses to come to America is a mystery. All of my fellow Yankee Gooners will ruefully wait another year.)
Arsenal will aim to build confidence and fitness against "Indonesia Dream Team," a collection of the archipelago's finest stars, such as they are.
Though the match is being rebroadcast at various times, it actually kicks off at 9:45 a.m. EDT. I'll be here starting at 9:15 a.m. EDT with a bit of preview and team news. Until then, moisten your gullets for some real football.
