Respect to Skorea and Japan

[hp88]

Skorea and Japan reach the semi final in olympic ... wow respect

Semifinal: Brazil - Skorea ; Japan - Mexico

Mexico-Brazil final

[manchooo]

Japan is strong. They can beat Mexico. Korea has a chance, but they play very rough and Brazilians dive more than arabs which is not a good combo for the Koreans.

I feel sorry for the Koreans, they're up against one of the best teams no doubt. But they've showed that they're also on of the best teams in this tournament. Japan has good chance of winning against Mexico tho, I hope we'll see a final between to Asian teams!

So sad for our countrie that japan, s + n korea are doing so well in ther youth-system.
Even quatar and uzbeks are srong...

[Kiarash]

This may be good for Asian football, but for us this is a disaster. Their youth and future is developing, while our talents are wasted by mismanagment..It does not looks good for Team Melli at all

[Super Shojaei]

the way south korea took their penalties was amazing to watch

[KC McElroy]

I feel bad for South Korea and Japan because as well as they have done, Asia's participation in these Olympics will always be remembered for UAE's embarrassing performance.

Yes. It was almost as bad as Saudi Arabia in the 2002 World Cup.

The Koreans didn't play rough in this game from what I've seen. The Brits became unusually rough when Korea was dominating them. Korea had to change two players (including a goalkeeper) because of injuries. Korea was left with only one possible change for the second half.

Question for those saying UAE performed embarrassingly: Did you actually watch any of their games or is it just the hatred talking?

By rough I meant "hard." Other Iranians probably know what I mean. For example not shying away from tackles or legal body contact. The down side to this is playing teams like Brazil where every player is just waiting to go down near the 18 yard box.

I agree, they are just haters. They didn't even watch the UAE games. I watched the one against GB and they played suprisingly well, nice crisp passing, great technique.

[Kaveh Ahangar]

If Iran lost 3-1 in a major tournament (as UAE did to GB), we wouldn't be praising the supposed crispness of their passing. We would be asking for the coaches/players' heads.
