The semifinals of Asia Cup finished last night. To our surprise, South Korea and Japan both were kicked out. Saudi Arabia and Iraq will meet in the final.

Iraq was the black horse at this succession of Asia Cup. Iraq has not promoted to the semifinals since 1976. Meanwhile, Iraq has not defeated South Korea about 23 years. This time, they succeeded. During the 90 minutes' game and the overtime, both sides did not make a goal. Finally, Iraq deafeated South Korea in the penalty war 4 to 3.

The game between Saudi Arabia and Japan was quite fierce. At 35th minute, Saudi Arabia scored one. After 4 minutes, Japan revenged his rival with a corner kick. Yuji Nakazawa headed the ball into the net. At the 46th minute, Saudi Arabia scored another goal. However, Japan did not give up and catch up at 53th minute. At the 56th minute, Saudi made a decisive goal and beat Japan.

Since 1984, Japan and Saudi Arabia have always kept the Asia Cup in their hands. This time, Japan failed to promote to the final. Will Saudi Arabia claim the champion? Let's wait and see.

Congratulations, Iraq and Saudi Arabia. But I am sorry to hear that about 55 people died and 135 got badly injured when they celebrated on the streets in Bagdad. It was caused by two bomb attacks.
