Asian Cup 2011 Group D
Group A | Group B | Group C | Group D
Group D is another extremely competitive group with North Korea fresh from a World Cup appearance in South Africa in 2010, Iraq are the reigning Asian champions, Iran are a continental soccer giant and UAE will be no mugs on familiar soil either.
It's difficult to predict the top two teams from these four, but surely Iran will take one of the spots.
The sixteen competing teams are divided into four groups of four teams.
The top two teams from each group progress to the quarterfinals.
