Though, they may not exactly be the next world football powerhouse, i think we should all respect Iraq for their achievement in getting this far considering they dont have one football pitch in the whole country, they arent allowed to play games on home soil and they dont even have a team doctor!
Big up to Iraq!

This team is pretty damn good considering everything it's got going against it. A great qualifying tournament, and a phenomenal run in the Asia Cup playing the Olympic side against the rest of Asia's full national teams.

they're doing well, but they should concentrate on not leaving such open spaces in their defense.
I mean, you can drive a mack truck through those holes!

Iraq is no fluke. They'll be tough for anybody.
Major props to the boys from Baghdad and surrounding environs.

what is the MLS???
Major League Soccer ... the professional league in the US.
I mean ... many have seen them play in this Olympics, as the game was broadcasted in CNBC (English) ... and contacts to get them to play here won't be difficult. ;) Needless to say, they are very talented.
