A draw or a win means a ticket to the next round, but hope our boys don't do the same thing as they did in WCQ against Qatar...
Iraq have to patient to get the goal. If they go all out attack in 1st half, they will get severely punished and North Korea will defend with 11 missiles But honestly I believe this Iraq team has what it takes to make it and deserves so but will they will be disciplined enough to play cautiously for the draw that will get them through and try to get a goal whilst not putting themselves on any sort of risks for the scary North Korean counter attack. Remember they struck the bar in dying minutes vs Iran...
If we play with Bassim Abbas as a starter and let Karrar play in the beginning of the 2nd half then I have hard to believe that we will lose against N.Korea
Few points from the match; - Starting formation was spot on. Karrar (the MVP IMO) and Mustafa brought so much life to the game. Excellent decision by Sidka - 1st Half was the best we've shown so far. Second half was average, too bad we didn't push for more goals though. NK never seemed to be dangerous. Mabrook shabab.
Congratulations to Iraqi fans for advancing to the quarter finals. I sincerely hope you spank the australians again
