Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which country hosted the 2004 Asian Cup?

Answer: China

The tournament was played in China. Many observers saw the tournament as a dress rehearsal for Beijing`s hosting of the Olympic Games in 2008.

2. Which team won the 2004 Asian Cup?

Answer: Japan

Japan overcame the odds to retain their title. It was a special victory for a few reasons. Firstly, Japan was missing most of the European-based regulars who normally form the backbone of the side. In addition, the Chinese fans were not welcoming to their neighbours, booing during the Japanese anthem in every match and pelting visiting fans with vegetables and other missiles.

It was also the first major success for coach and former Brazilian World Cup star, Zico.

3. How many teams took part in the 2004 Asian Cup finals?

Answer: 16

There were 16 teams at the finals; eleven from `west` Asia and five from `east` Asia.

4. Did Iraq play in the 2004 Asian Cup finals?

Answer: Yes

Iraq were the sentimental favourites throughout the tournament, having suffered war at home and losing their coach just days before the tournament began. They were eventually eliminated by hosts China in the quarter finals. In the first round they defeated highly fancied Saudi Arabia 2-1, one of the biggest upsets in the tournament`s history.

5. How were pre-tournament favourites South Korea eliminated from the tournament?

Answer: They were defeated by Iran in the quarter finals

South Korea lost 4-3 to Iran in the quarter finals in one of the matches of the tournament. It was a disappointing end for the South Koreans, who had finished fourth in the World Cup two years before.

6. Which team conceded the most goals throughout the entire tournament?

Answer: Bahrain

Bahrain conceded twelve goals, eight of which coming from their semi-final and play off for third place, against Japan and Iran respectively.

7. Which two players shared the Golden Boot at the 2004 Asian Cup?

Answer: A'ala Hubail , Bahrain and Ali Karimi, Iran

Both players scored five goals.

8. Which team scored the most goals at the 2004 Asian Cup?

Answer: Iran

Iran scored 14 goals over the course of the tournament, whereas Bahrain, Japan and China bagged 13 each.

9. Which of the following teams did not qualify for the 2004 Asian Cup?

Answer: India

India were defeated by North Korea in the first round of qualifying. North Korea in turn finished last in their qualifying group behind Lebanon, Jordan and Iran, with the latter two teams qualifying for the Asian Cup finals.

10. Was an Asian Cup ever held before 2004?

Answer: Yes

The Asian Cup was first held in 1956. The tournament was held for the 14th time in 2004.
