		Although they finished third when they hosted the Asian Cup in 1972 and have qualified for the finals on every occasion since 1992, the Thais are still seeking their first regulation time victory in the final rounds.
		The Qataris won their first five games to top Group F, advancing to the Asian Cup finals for the seventh time in eight attempts, and were only denied a perfect record in qualifying by a 2-0 loss against Uzbekistan in their final match.
		Having claimed their first victory at the Asian Cup finals with a 2-1 win against Qatar in 2004, Peter Withe's side will be hoping for an even stronger performance in front of their own passionate fans in Jakarta when they make their fourth consecutive appearance in the finals in 2007.

		Tavares, who was Viet Nam’s first ever foreign coach when he took the helm of the national team back in 1994, also dismissed suggestions that the 1-1 draw with Singapore put the hosts’ chances of reaching the semi-finals in jeopardy.

		South Korea comes into 2002 World Cup competition with four advantages: play on its home turf, acclimatization to the region's extreme weather, the direction of Holland's former coach, Guus Hiddink, and a perfect understanding of the odds against them.
		With the world's eyes upon them and a World Cup track record of six defeats and four ties, this is South Korea's chance to score a victory, which may well come at the expense of the United States when the teams meet June 10 at Daegu.
		Nevertheless, this Cup co-host is not expected to advance beyond the first round of competition.

		Iran will probably be the subject of bitter controversy at the 2006 World Cup finals, playing in the Nazi bastion of Nuremberg only months after President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad labelled the Holocaust a myth.
		Still, there is likely to be some serious opposition to the players in Germany but if the Iranians can steer clear of politics and get their manifestly talented stars to gel as a team, they stand an outside chance of being the first Iranian side to make the second round of the tournament.
		Despite being among the pick of Asian sides since the 1970s, Iran crashed out of the finals in the first round in Argentina in 1978 and in France in 1998.

	Asian EFL Journal: English Language Teaching and Research Articles
		The purpose of this article is to draw attention to such varying aspects in Asia and investigate as to why they vary from the universal standards.
		In Japan it is easy to come across the anti-universal results if one only looks at the great number of adult learners studying English for cultural purposes at culture centers throughout the country, who happily go on for years taking lessons without much progress in their language skills, as measured by ordinary language tests.
		Thus, what Asians generally should strive for in an input-impoverished EFL context is how best to combine learning with acquisition.
