their your freinds, your obviously biased and want them to play, just because they play in europe doesn't necessarily mean that they are better than the other players ion the iraqi league. Our league is cheap with standards, and stadiums, but the amount of excellent and amazing players is still heaps, we can take shabab and nashi2een team as examples.

LOL not at all.. my main goal is to give the young players a chance with the National team... which is already happening with the young players in Iraq..
while the ones who are outside Iraq they should also get a chance...
ALL teams in the world get changed.. except our team.. now we are almost in 2012, 4 players only should be from the old squad.. the rest should really be from the olympic team, U20's and Europe players..
and OFC Ill support the Euro players, cos no1 does in Iraq..
They are not better because theyr just in Europe, they are better because they entered football schools since they were kids and learnt pro football from young ages.. unlike Iraq where the player has to do everthing !
so you want to tell me that local players in Iraq are better than players who play with European national U20 teams ? look at the European teams and compare them to Iraq !
As you know there are so many Iraqi players around the world, and from different levels, and you know so many of them aswell.. all what we are focusing on now is the best 7 ..
and when Ahmed Yasin/Yasser Kasim/David Haider played few matches with the olympic team this month, they proved to everyone that they were the best !
You think I dont get happy when Iraq wins ? LOL
Because I Love my country Iam doing this Euro players work.. Its not like I have extra time to waste !
and u always change your mind about stuff btw
one day u were part of us.. when iraq won u changed ur mind.. while I still want a change

Man we fighting in sports now too. I think the European players will be a great addition. Now that I approve it. End of story no one discusses this again. Or else, AZ3AL.

lol, dude just think about it honestly, seriously deep inside..., u are a little biased. ofcouse i was with u, u asked for help, i helped u. i dont have anything against thoes players, i like them actually, i think its clear how dedicated i am to iraqi football, its just u dont need to exacggurate,ofcorse i national team deserves a change from time to time, but if a player stuffs up, and then regains himself, i think he deserves to play again for example younis. and hey our team is not as bad as u might predict...

players that need to be changed, yeah i agree theirs a few, such as ; basim abbas, qusay, pretty soon hawar, nashat, theirs better than mustafa thats for sure, younis pretty soon he still has some time on him, and hawar ... and u can bring in new players such as anmar almubaraki really liked his play, i never saw osama rashid play, ahmad yasin i liked, amjad kalaf, dhrugham isma3eel (loved him), muthanna is a great player good thing he is their, and yasin kareem, also think that mohammed ali kareem should be let on again.

but overall, our team is not shit, and we can beat japan, iran , south korea,aus etc... no such thing as we cant beat these guys or not.

[Yousifovic]

I hope that will become true !

Congratulations guys

[sheytanElKebir]

congratulations to the lions!

lets hope the winning streak continues in the VERY much tougher round 4.

[Basrawii]

Our problem now is the home ground we are going to take in case we lay with either Qatar, Jordan or Lebanon. Of course, the UAE looks like the logical alternative, but many refuse it for many reasons.

What you guys think? I wrote in Kooora Iraqiyah (MKI) that we can take a neutral home ground for the first part of the fourth round and for the second part we can simply use BASRA SPORTS CITY stadium as it will be ready by the end of 2012. And the 2nd part starts at 2013!

Or else we can play in:
1- UAE
2- European country (I don't know if it is possible to play Asian qualifications on European grounds or not.)
3- Taief or Tehran?

What do you guys think?

[makaay31]

The first games playing on neutral ground, when the stadium is finished (and FIFA accepts Basra as home) we definitely should play there.. It will be a great home, playing infront of your fans

[Yousifovic]

do u guys believe they will qualify to Brazil for wining Singapore, China and Jordan ?
baba we didnt face any strong team.. its only Karrar whos really good now.. and Nashat's PASSES..
lets see what happens..inshallah they will qualify

[Persi]

Iraq 7-1 Singapore

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK I completely forgot about the draw... all the excitement is gone.

The only thing I was fearing was getting drawn with both Japan and South Korea in the same group. That would've been terrible. What I was hoping for was getting Australia and Iran. That would've been amazing for us.
I also much preferred Jordan over Qatar since those Qatari bastards are always trouble they cheat and bribe their way through even though they already a United Nations team.
The negative thing about not getting Qatar is the possibility of our fucking stupid FA of choosing Qatar as our home ground again! We need to make sure this doesn't happen again otherwise we're screwed!! Yousifovic can you and the admins of the page try to get that across to the FA, you guys know some people right... it's so important. We need either Syria, Jordan or UAE. Syria due the instability is probably not possible. Jordan is not possible since we're in the same group as them. So UAE is left..

Anyway, it's a good group. We can actually make it this time I really think we will! We deserved to beat Australia in the Asian Cup and we've beaten them so many times before we can handle them. We can EASILY get 3rd place like that's guaranteed, but I really think we can get 2nd place! 2 wins against Oman, 6 points.. 1 win 1 draw against Jordan... 10 points.. 1 win 1 loss Australia.. 13 points.. 1 draw 1 loss Japan.. 14 points. And that's it we're through!

I think we're finally making it to the WC again after 28 years! We need good preparation though, good friendlies.. we need new players, we need to fix our squad.. but it's very possible.

[makaay31]

Not a bad draw.
