Asian Cup 2007: Japan in Quarter Final

Japan and Vietnam from Group B have been qualified for the quarter final round of Asian Cup 2007. Today Japan defeated host Vietnam by a big margin of 4-1 but both the teams could go into the next round as in the other match UAE defeated Qatar be 2-1. Defending champion Japan is still favorite for this tournament and they have been playing well so far except the first match against Qatar.

Japan came to play in Asian Cup 2007 with the hope of winning the third consecutive Asian Cup. However, they started the tournament badly as in the first match they drew against Qatar. From the second match, Japan started playing like a favorite and at the end, they are going to play in the quarter final as the group Champion. In quarter final, they will face Group A runner up and their most probable opponent is going to be either Thailand or Australia.

Some star players of Japan like Takhara and Nakamura are playing well. Most of the other players are now in good form. I think, Japan has the chance to win Asian Cup 2007. What do you think about the probability of Japan in Knock Out stage?
