I'm not surprised with no. 1 and 2 since I already had Japan and South Korea in mind before looking up the odds. What got me curious is the difference between Malaysia and Indonesia. I'm not betting on them and I doubt either team will go deep into the tournament but I'm thinking the bookmakers got the odds wrong because these two are almost always on par in terms of quality.

I was watching Jordan verse south Korea this afternoon, what a match  , I did not sit to watch the match to the finish, I believe its still going on right now even as I am typing this comment, something came up and I had to rush off to attend to it.

The score before I left was 2 goals for Jordan and 1 goal for south Korea, though south Korea scores first, I do not really give attention to Asian football but this one was very interesting to watch, as there was a lot of drama, fouls, desperation from both teams.
Jordan is leading, and I hope they find the win they are desperately looking for, I should have placed a bet on them if I had the opportunity, but I never did prepare to even watch the match, I just stumbled on it while flipping between channels on my TV  .

Anyways, just here to say that I am wishing them luck - Jordan.
