The group stage of Asian Cup 2007 has been over and now the Asian fans are waiting for the much awaiting quarter final round. Quarter final matches will be held on 21 and 22 July 2007. From now on the winner of each of the matches will progress to the next round whereas the loser teams will go out of the tournament. So, each match is like a final to the contestant teams. I think the real excitement of Asian Cup 2007 will be started from the quarter final stage.

Asian Cup 2007 started seeing some upsets and at one point, all the groups became open as for the contestant teams to progress in the next round. China, one of the finalists of the last Asian Cup, could not qualify for the quarter final and so far, it has been the biggest upset in Asian Cup 2007.

Iran and South Korea will face each other in their quarter final match on 22 July 2007. Iran progressed to quarter final as the champion team from Group C and South Korea became runner up in Group D. The time Asian Cup winner, Iran, must have to win the match to step forward to win their record fourth Asian Cup championship whereas South Korea has no alternate option except win in order to win the cup after 47 years. South Korea won Asian Cup twice in 1956 and 1960. Iran and South Korea both qualified for World Cup football in number of occasion.

Iran has been playing like favorite from the very beginning of the tournament, though in the first match they had to face a strong challenge from Uzbekistan, the other quarter finalist from Group C. Iran won the match by 2-1. Then in the second match they faced favorite China and could draw against them. In the match, Iran got a easy victory over Malaysia by 2-0.

For South Korea, it was expected that they would get into the quarter final round from Group D. However, the task was not so easy for South Koreans to make it to the quarter final. From the first two group matches, South Korea could achieve only 1 point. So, the last match against Indonesia became a do or die match for them. However, South Korea won against Indonesia by 1-0 and thus progress to the quarter final. Earlier, in the first match, South Korea faced Saudi Arabia and the match was a 1-1 draw. In the second match, South Korea lost to Bahrain by 1-2 and thus they had gone on the verge of elimination from Asian Cup 2007. To tell the truth, South Korea’s performance in the tournament so far, has not been up to the mark and the way they could qualify for the quarter final was not satisfactory at all.

Anyway, ahead of the quarter final match, both Iran and South Korea are now taking preparation to give their 100 percent effort to clinch the win. It is hard to predict anything about the match because both the teams are strong enough and have the capability to win the match. Iran has some skilled young players who can take the control of the match. On the other hand, South Korea has some energetic players who have a good level of stamina that can make a difference from the Asian teams. However, South Korea came to play in Asian Cup 2007 leaving some of their star players due to injury. I think, Iran vs. South Korea match will be a special match for football match to see some exciting and competitive football. So, do not miss the match and enjoy the fullest of it.
