It always would be. Imagine if Germany won the WC having only faced New Zealand, China and Honduras in the Group Stage, then Paraguay, USA then Slovakia in the final. It'd be a win, sure, but something of a hollow one, and any German football fan would admit it.

I think the Australia, Korea and Japan have sort of stagnated, Iran has improved, while the mid-tier teams have improved immensely and have become alot more competitive.

South Korea ( who best us) , Iraq (who won 8 years ago) and UAE are decent enough that us winning the Asian cup would still feel great to me regardless of japan. There is enough talent in this competition without it just being about japan. The socceroos have not won any silverware in over 10 years as best as I can recall. Frankly winning the Asian cup would be awesome regardless of who we play.

My opinion of Omar has dropped a lot in this game. Typical ariban spoiled brat mentality.
If Japan get through they will lift hugely for Australia. Only question can they press us for entire game.
