Following is the starting line-up of Saudi Arabia against Japan at the AFC Asian Cup semi-final on Wednesday.
KUALA LUMPUR: South Korea's veteran goalkeeper Lee Won-jae showed his young team mates there is some life in the old spider yet after breaking Iranian hearts in an Asian Cup quarterfinal penalty shootout on Sunday.
Japan's Brazilian stamp has been clearly shown since that success and they clinched title four years later in China. But this time, an in-form Saudi Arabia side are likely to challenge the defending champions with individual brilliance as skipper Yasser Al Kahtani could threaten any defence line single-handedly.
The two sides played a game of high speed and quick transition in persisting rain. The first half saw a balance game though Iran was more menacing.Both sides made adjustments after the interval, trying to score the first. But the match entered extra time after a 0-0 draw within 90 minutes.
The three-time Asian Cup winners, who topped Group D after winning two matches and drawing one, took the lead three minutes into action with midfielder Yasser Al Qahtani scoring his third goal of the tournament.
The Koreans held their nerve with their veteran goalkeeper Lee Woon-jae proving the hero when he saved efforts from Mehdi Mahdavikia and Rasoul Khatibi to great acclaim from the chanting Korean supporters.
South Korea took advantage after the interval but their forwards missed several good opportunities. Iraq also created some chances but failed to score either.
Honestly, that's not really my cup of tea, but FFXI Gil games inspire all sorts of strange reactions in people, some more wholesome than others. Some become inspired to kill after playing Grand Theft Auto; others become inspired to make felt clothing after playing Zelda. From one hobby emerges another, and certain FFXI Gil gamers' talents have gone far beyond just wiping out any enemy in their path on a monitor.
The New Xbox Experience has brought some shiny new features but to paraphrase Notorious B.I.G., "Mo' console interface features, mo' technical issues." Since NXE launched a couple weeks back, several FFXI Gil gamers have encountered problems trying to run the MMORPG Final Fantasy XI on their Xbox 360.
November 24, 2008 - Square Enix gathered Final Fantasy XI fans for a big fan event on the 22nd in Tokyo.
