whats with the ref? Allowing high kicks, kung fu kicks and shirt tugging.

Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!

Korea all over Iraq but a little bit vulnerable on the counter.  I think there will be a few more goals in this game.

Eventually Iraq will tire.

Those $5.75 odds on Iraq to beat South Korea are looking pretty tasty imo. 

Try $21.00 now. Anything could happen in this game. The ref is shocking.

True. I just put a $5 bet on Iraq purely because of the haphazard refereeing.

Actually, getting outplayed quite a bit these days

Iraq really pushing to try and get back in the game.  Great spirit.

Might not be enough. Two subs getting ready for Iraq, maybe that will make a difference.

I've put $5 on there being 4 goals or more.

Trouble is that many on here are hoping that the Roos get done.

I actually hope Aussie win tonight. Would make a better spectacle and atmosphere for the final.

But i'd love to see Adulrahman and UAE pull off another shock.

Three for me, and two for them.

I've got the same bet (for a little more money) at odds of $4, which is probably bad value but I couldn't decide who I wanted to cheer for and it seemed like a fun idea just to cheer for the goals. So go both teams!

Thoroughly enjoyed the Asian Cup.

Hope Aussie win the whole thing. Would be great for the profile of football in Oz which has to benefit the A-league.

Quite a few empty seats considering they said the stadium could of sold out 3 times... I'm assuming those seats are Japanese fans who booked tickets before the quarter.

I have a EuroSport 2 feed - two English commentators.

I miss the Arabic commentator and Luongo "Swindon Town".

Really composed finish there, and good vision from Luongo to knock the ball into his path.

ah okay. I guess I'd prefer Milligan, takes pressure off Jedinak. 

Man! The UAE do some stunning stuff on attack, but their defence is a bit of a pig's breakfast.
