    Wedding plans mar Vietnam match

    Vietnam's footballer of the year Phan Van Tai Em will miss his team's Asian Cup quarter-final against Iraq after he planned his wedding for the same day.
    Saturday's match in Bangkok will be the first time that Vietnam has reached the Asian Cup knockout stages in 47 years.

    Team coach Alfred Riedl has said he is disappointed by the midfielder's lack of faith in the Vietnamese team.

    "He's invited all the guests already. He just didn't believe the team had a chance," he told Reuters news agency.

    "It's very disappointing that he has no confidence in his team, or he would not have arranged his wedding for the same day as the quarter-finals," Riedl said.

    With the help of huge home support, co-hosts Vietnam finished a surprise second in Group B behind three-times champions Japan.

    Riedl accepts his squad are not in the same league as the stronger and fitter Iraqi players, but believes Vietnam could still be in with a chance.

    "We've been lucky getting here, but luck is a big factor in football," he said.

    South East Asia's hopes of success in the tournament are with Vietnam following the elimination of Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia.

    A 2-0 win over United Arab Emirates and a 1-1 with draw with Qatar sparked scenes of jubilation in Hanoi and earned Vietnam enough points to reach the final eight as the second qualifier behind Japan.

      Lol, can't he cancel his wedding?! He can invite his guests again for another day, unbelievable, its not like they reach the Asian Cup quarter finals every year..

      Lets see what Vietnam will do against Iraq, although I was very happy that they made it to the second round instead of Grassrollers United and UAE but fact is that they were one of the luckiest teams this tournament.
