But after that it gets really tough.
I don't think we can beat teams like Iran, Japan, and South Korea.
Great win by Vietnam over Jordan in another tense penalty shoot out.
Vietnam is my second favourite team. Go Vietnam!
I would like to know about the internal prize money and bonus from the China team ? Like how much each player got paid for winning a match, scoring a goal etc.

Back in 2002 when the one and only time China had qualified for the World Cup (mainly due to Japan and S Korea co hosting), rumour was, each goal will get the player 1 Million US, the team gets 5 mil for a win, 3 Mil for a draw. In the end, zero goal and zero point, so I guess no one got rich from the tournament!

Asian Cup ?
