World Cup Daily: Heartbreak for Iran as Saudi Arabia and Iraq exit with a whimper
from The Asian Game · host The Asian Game
There was heartbreak for Iran in Seattle, with a stoppage time winner being overruled by a marginal offside call; a result that would have secured them second place in the group and automatic progression to the knockout rounds. Hope still exists, however, of progressing as one of the best third-placed teams. There is no hope for Saudi Arabia and Iraq, meanwhile, who both departed the tournament with meek performances in their final group stage matches. We're joined by the BBC's Mani Djazmi and Wael Jabir to look at a day of mixed fortunes for Asia.
