Iran P 0 - 0 P Korea Republic
Saudi Arabia 2 - 1 Uzbekistan
Japan ousts Australia on PKs. Iraq continues their surprise run on into the semi-finals. South Korea, the up and comer, takes out Iran, a traditional central Asian power. Saudi Arabia dispatches an out-manned Uzbekistan.

Iraq 12 : 20 Korea Republic
Japan 15 : 20 Saudi Arabia
In tournaments like this, everybody loves the long shot. So I'm sticking with Iraq over South Korea. South Korea is a team on the rise but even rising teams can be overwhelmed by wild circumstances. Japan and Saudi Arabia have probably been the two strongest teams so far. I'll take Japan, I just have a little more faith in their flexibility and goalkeeping.
