Japan, South Korea, Iran and Saudi Arabia, Asia's four World Cup
representatives, were all involved in midweek friendlies after being given
permission to postpone their matches to concentrate on their preparations for
Germany.
Australia, who qualified for the World Cup representing Oceania but have
since joined the Asian Football Confederation, were given the week off to train
in the Netherlands.
All five teams won their opening Asian Cup qualifiers.
The 2007 Asian Cup finals will be co-hosted by Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia
and Vietnam.
