Viduka, Cahill and Kewell get Socceroos call» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Mark Viduka, Tim Cahill and Harry Kewell have been included in Graham Arnold's 23-man squad for Australia's maiden Asian Cup challenge.
Arnold had admitted to 'some fears' that Viduka, who completed a move from Middlesbrough to local rivals Newcastle on Wednesday, would pull out of the tournament, while Cahill and Kewell have been battling injuries for the majority of the domestic season.
Everton midfielder Cahill will not be risked in a warm-up match in Singapore on June 30, but will figure in the opening game of the campaign against Oman on July 8.
Sivasspor's Michael Petkovic has won the battle for the third goalkeeper's berth behind Middlesbrough duo Mark Schwarzer and Brad Jones, while new Celtic striker Scott McDonald has been left out of the squad.
West Ham defender Lucas Neill, Leicester's Patrick Kisnorbo and Blackburn midfielder Brett Emerton have also been included.
Former Newcastle defender Craig Moore had asked to be excused by Arnold.
Australia have been drawn in Group A of the tournament and will also face co-hosts Thailand and Iraq.

Viduka to play in Asian Cup - reports
MELBOURNE - Socceroos coach Graham Arnold has talked Mark Viduka out of announcing his international retirement, according to reports in Australia. Viduka, who recently left Middlesbrough for fellow English Premiership side Newcastle, had intended to reveal his plans to quit playing for Australia with immediate effect on Friday. But following talks with Arnold, Viduka is now thought to have performed a U-turn and made himself available for the Asian Cup, which gets under way next month. Should Australia reach the latter stages of the tournament as expected, the 31-year-old will have less than three weeks' preparation time with Newcastle prior to the start of the 2007-08 English season. Viduka has scored six goals in 38 appearances for the Socceroos, debuting in the 1-0 win over South Africa in Adelaide in 1994. It is still expected, however, that Viduka will quit the international arena after the Asian Cup to enable him to prolong his club career.

Vietnam edge out BahrainQUOTE HANOI - Vietnam rounded off their AFC Asian Cup warm-up campaign with a 5-3 victory over fellow continental competitors Bahrain at the My Dinh National Stadium on Saturday.
The game was a perfect preparation for co-hosts Vietnam, who will face defending champions Japan, Qatar and Gulf Cup winners UAE in Group B, while 2004 AFC Asian Cup semi-finalists Bahrain have been drawn in Group D alongside co-hosts Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and Korea Republic.
Bahrain opened the scoring after two minutes through midfielder Mahmoud Abdulrahman, but the hosts were back on level terms after 11 minutes through Le Cong Vinh, who gave his side the lead six minutes later.
Vietnam increased their lead eight minutes after the break through Mai Tien Thanh before 2004 AFC Asian Cup top scorer Ala'a Hubail reduced the deficit for Bahrain two minutes after the hour mark.
Bahrain levelled the scores 10 minutes later through Nigerian born striker Jaycee John, but Vietnam regained the lead after 77 minutes through Phan Thanh Binh before Nguyen Anh Duc sealed the victory with three minutes to play.
Vietnam kick-off their AFC Asian Cup campaign against UAE on July 8, while Bahrain face co-hosts Indonesia two days later. http://www.afcasiancup.com/en/news/index.asp?aid=47841&cid=1371&amth=7&ayr=20076 days to go....

sure lah Malaysia boleh...something like Jackie Chan/Stephen Chow movies, no matter bad or good also must see one.... we were a bit unlucky to lose to Singapore in the semis in the Tiger Cup earlier this year, don't think that they were way better than us. Thailand included. but Asian Cup is a whole new ball game, and the opposition is quite formidable. our group itself also problem already, what more with S Korea, Japan, Australia, etc all lurking after that... but still Malaysia lah, now and forever....

in realistic world.. i would choose Iran over Australia due to the quality of player that Iran have in their squad. Iran have few players that based on Europe such as well known Ali Karimi who played for Bayern, Vahid Hashemian who played for Hannover, Mehdi Mahdavikia for Eintrach, Andranik Teymourian for Boltan and Rahmen Razaei for Livorno.
As a Malaysian, we will facing China in the first game. As usual first game is the tough game for both team and the result will determine which path will bring the squad. If Malaysia can make an upset to beat China in first game, we will have a good chance to go to the second round..

I still think aussie will win this championship. No doubt Iran have european based players but Aussie's abroad players are all big guns and do rise to the challenge. In fact, during last world cup, Italy was very lucky to beat the Aussie. And u got to admire the sports fighting spirit of Austrlian, not only in soccer but also in other sports, they always have the never say die attitude.
