Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia showed a very practical approach during the group stage, Even playing against Thailand, who were much weaker, Roberto Mancini's men agreed to a goalless draw which was just enough to secure the top spot in the group.
Before that, they beat Oman 2-1 and Kyrgyzstan 2-0.
South Korea
It's been a rollercoaster for Jurgen Klinsmann's team so far. They started with a confident 3-1 win against Bahrain and then were on the brink of a defeat in the 2-2 draw against Jordan. Finally, they drew 3-3 against Malaysia and finished the group stage in second place.
That stalemate got fans talking: if Korea had beaten the weakest team in the group, they would have finished first and faced Japan in the last 16. Some even said they conceded three goals deliberately to avoid this matchup.
