Everyones tips are in and locked.

SF	HOME	AWAY	Brot		SgtB		Amul		Foot
	Iran	UAE	H	2	H	1	H	2	H	1
	Qatar	Bahrain	H	1	H	1	A	-1	D	0
	Japan	Jordan	H	4	H	1	H	4	H	1
	Iraq	Palesti	H	2	H	1	H	4	H	2

Lots of variation... which is good because right now I have realized I haven't set a rule to split teams in case of a draw.
The best (and has worked before) is to take the nett 'nearest the pin' score over all four games.

This could get interesting.
