Quarter finals started today, after no draws in any of the group games (I wonder if that is the first time that has happened) the first quarter final was 0-0 between South Korea and Uzbekistan at 90 minutes. Extra time brought about a 2-0 win for SK. Australia beat China by the same score with both goals in the second half by Cahill. I wonder how the Aussies will cope when he finally retires from playing. Japan are back in action tomorrow against the UAE. Before that there is Iran v Iraq.
