Here is a see at the five leading contenders for football's Asian Cup, which starts in the allied Arab Emirates on Saturday (Jan 5):Australia
The Socceroos won the biggest title in their records at the last Asian mug in 2015, where they edged South Korea after extra grow old to win a thrilling unadulterated in Sydney. It provided extra vindication for their switch from Oceania to the Asian confederation in 2006, past taking into account they have never unproductive to qualify for the World Cup.However, Australia's star has dimmed in recent times, and after reaching Russia 2018 via the play-offs they exited without a win, scoring only twice in their three group games. extra coach Graham Arnold must occupy the chasm left by retired baby book scorer Tim Cahill, and get the goals flowing again, if the Socceroos are to save the trophy in Australian hands.Iran
Asia's top-ranked team won checking account at last year's World Cup, where they were edged 1-0 by Spain and curtains 1-1 neighboring Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal, past exiting at the group stage.

Southampton defender Maya Yoshida and Galatasaray full-back Yuto Nagatomo bring experience to Japan, who slope Uzbekistan, Oman and Turkmenistan in group F.Ranked 50th in the world, astern Iran (29) and Australia (41), anything less than the semi-finals would be seen as failure for Japan.Saudi Arabia

The Taeguk Warriors showed their feel taking into account they stunned holders Germany at last year's World mug and they came within a whisker of winning their third Asian title in 2015, going by the side of to James Troisi's extra-time strike for hosts Australia in the final.Son will miss South Korea's first two games, neighboring the Philippines and Kyrgyzstan, owing to club commitments taking into account Spurs. But taking into account a plenty of gift including Newcastle's Ki Sung-yeung and goalkeeper Jo Hyeon-woo, man of the reach a decision in the 2-0 win on top of Germany, South Korea should have at least one foot in the knock-out stages by then.
