Tom, why don't you try to have a little patience?

I gave you the link to the Facebook group re football for expats just two days ago, you posted a question there just 12 hours ago and now complaining you get no answers.

12 hours ago was last night 10 pm, not really a time someone would answer questions.

So give it a few days, relax and don't worry.  ;)

Cheers.

Hello Joe and Tom,

Although haven't yet relocated to PP - could you please advise the name of the Facebook group for expat football teams which you used so I can look around and prepare in advance.

I am patient  :sleep

Hi Anton,
                  I have started playing with Anvaya Sporting Club, they play on a Wednesday evening from 7pm till 9pm  mostly French Khmer and a few other nationalities thrown in for good measure. The facilities are good with large astro playing surfaces and we play 6 aside, the standard is pretty good too. They also have a Saturday 11 aside team ( Mid table at the moment)  Depending where you will be staying, i found Soccer Zone was too far to travel where as Anvaya is not far from Riverside and easily found near to Nagaworld Hotel. Find them on Facebook and ask for directions. There are usually around 15 to 18 players and play 15 mins on 15 mins off  so each team has around 5 or 6 games. Good friendly bunch of guys. Oh and cost is around $4

Hi Tom!

Thanks for all the details - really appreciate the effort to clue me up and give a heads up even on the locations, really helpful!

Judging by the location, perhaps Anvaya will be the more suitable one and I guess that also affects where I will be searching for accommodation based on that info :)

Good to know that it's a good vibe there too, looking forward!

Well, thanks again - and perhaps see you there in the near future, will give you a shout as and when I am settled and ready to experience some Khmer footie.

Have a great weekend!

Anton
