SYDNEY (REUTERS) - The 17th Asian cup finals will be the biggest in the 62-year history of the tournament but even bearing in mind 24 teams battling it out, it is hard to see much beyond regional powers Iran, Japan and South Korea as potential champions.Australia will be hoping to partner that trio and Saudi Arabia as fused winners of the continental crown as they defend the title they won upon house soil four years ago.The Socceroos realization came at the end of a extremely thriving staging of a tournament played out in belly of bumper crowds that has left the allied Arab Emirates bearing in mind much to bring to life happening to. The Emiratis, playing hosts for a second period after 1996 bearing in mind they reached the final, showed bearing in mind their recent staging of Fifa's Club World Cup, though, that there is a passion for the game that can be awoken by local success.Al Ain's run to the supreme next to genuine Madrid brought aflame crowds to the stadiums of Abu Dhabi and provided a satisfactory pre-tournament boost to a national team that has hardly set the world alight under Italian Alberto Zaccheroni.It is fair to say, though, that genuine also brought more world class footballers to the Emirates than the Asian cup will bearing in mind unaccompanied South Korea skipper Son Heung-min likely to register bearing in mind many casual football fans outside the Asia-Pacific. That does not ambition there will not be loads of skilful football upon display as the cream of the world's most populous continent contest the equivalent of the European Championship and Copa America.The world's most populous countries will both be represented but neither China nor India are conventional to be on the order of at the concern end of the tournament.The Indians would probably not have attributed without the early payment from 16 teams, though China appear to have stagnated under the guidance of Italian World cup winner Marcello Lippi.

Under an succession bearing in mind his club Tottenham Hotspur, Son will unaccompanied partner the fray for the third and last group C tie in next to Lippi's side as without difficulty as the knockout stage.The Taeguk Warriors should have more than sufficient mood to seal one of the summit two bad skin in the group without him, though, supreme the further two teams in it are debutants in the have an effect on of Kyrgyzstan and Sven Goran Eriksson's Philippines.South Korea, who won the first two Asian Cups and the end runners-up to Australia in 2015, see bearing in mind the form team in Asia going into the tournament, having bearing in mind unbeaten in six matches under Portuguese coach Paulo Bento past their World cup exit.Japan, who made the last 16 in Russia past going out to a thrilling Portugal comeback, also see to have a passably user-friendly alleyway having been drawn bearing in mind Uzbekistan, Oman and Turkmenistan in group F.Hajime Moriyasu has had the Samurai Blue playing an attractive attacking style past he took beyond after the World cup and even without Shinji Kagawa and Shinji Okazaki they have sufficient mood to challenge for a fifth title.The importance of midfielder Aaron Mooy to Australia's challenge was illustrated bearing in mind coach Graham Arnold included him in the squad even though Huddersfield Town had ruled him out of tournament because of a great knee injury.For all the class upon the ball that Mooy can have enough money bearing in mind fit, though, Australia's title defence is most likely to ablaze upon their realization to locate the net now that the totemic Tim Cahill has finally hung happening his personalised boots.A continent as gigantic as Asia can rarely have put upon any sporting concern without the backdrop of some political turmoil - astonishing as it may now seem, Israel won the title in 1964 - and the 2019 Asian cup will be no exception.Saudi Arabia, who won the last of their three titles the last period the UAE hosted, severed political ties bearing in mind group E rivals Qatar in June, 2017 beyond Doha's alleged hold of terrorism. Qatar denies the accusations.The UAE also allied the political and economic boycott of Qatar last year but the 2022 World cup hosts will be looking to ignore the distractions and hoping their side can have enough money some wish of success, or at least no disgrace, in four years' time.There are also representatives of the more troubled countries and territories of the west of the continent bearing in mind Syria, Palestine, Iraq and Yemen all looking to bring commendation to people who have endured much hard times in recent years.Iraq did just that bearing in mind their fairytale run to the title in 2007 and the Lions of Mesopotamia have been drawn to play neighbours Iran in group D.Iran have had their conventional uncertain run-up to the tournament but are always a force to be reckoned bearing in mind in Asia and an end to their 43-year wait for a fourth title cannot be discounted.Carlos Queiroz's side went out of the last Asian cup upon penalties to Iraq in a thrilling quarter-final played out in a magnificent tone in Canberra.If their Jan 16 group tie in in Dubai comes anywhere near to matching that, and the tournament can build a few more clashes bearing in mind thesame the theater and passion, the fans that complete incline happening in the Emirates will be in for a rare treat.
