It's a shame that we won't see Japan in the final and it looks like something undesirable could happen in football. Iran proved they were not afraid at all when facing Japan and they continued to attack until finally they had to be fouled in the penalty box. Well, congratulations to Iran for successfully qualifying for the semifinals and they have to wait for the winner of the Qatar vs Uzbekistan match which will take place in a few hours.
And now Iran will face Qatar in the semi-finals. And South Korea will face Jordan in the semi-finals. And my prediction is that Iran will advance to the final against South Korea. And maybe Iran will be the champion in the Asian Cup this time.
Now the ideal final of the Asian Cup has changed to Iran vs Korea and honestly I agree with you that Iran will be the champion because South Korea is also not good enough and often has to go through difficult rounds to reach the semifinals. But at least we can hope that South Korea's presence will reach the final and they have to beat Jordan first before ensuring their progress to the Asian Cup final.
