Intro:

South Korea make final preparations ahead of their Asian Cup semi-final against Iraq in Sydney

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Uli Stielike, South Korea coach:

"Tomorrow (Monday) will be a game where we have to accept the role of favourites because we are here in the third position of AFC rankings, Iraq are number 13 so I think there is no discussion that we have to accept this role. But we also know that we are playing against the champions from 2007, it's history but it's like this. We have to be very careful and if we are in the final we can win the championship, there is no doubt about it, but first we have to go."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Uli Stielike, South Korea coach:

"All players are fit for tomorrow's game. It appears we don't have any injuries or sickness. This is good news and everything is running ok and we don't have any complaints at the moment."
