I was falling asleep during most of it. Brazil were already 2-0 up and it looked all over. I think Carol did manage to stay awake for it all but she had more of an interest.

May show a bit of interest in the Asian Cup as Reading are after a Korean player that we've seen in the tournament while we've been involved in the Peace Cup. Although the club are keeping the identity of the player a secret. Looks like South Korea will be going out just as I take an interest though!

very surprising result argentina are meant to have there best team since mexico 86 Argentina were sh*te in 1986. Maradona won them the World Cup single-handedly (literally). They've had much better teams since then (last year's World Cup team was possibly the best Argentine side I've seen) but have never managed to get the job done.

Cue the conspiracy theories...
It'll be interesting if Iraq play the USA at the next Confederations Cup...

Iraq's win broke a spell of Japanese/Saudi domination of the tournament. The last time anyone other than those two won the Asian Cup was in 1980, when Kuwait won on home soil.
Iraq are the 7th team to win the cup since it began in 1956.
