Yahya Alwan also did amazing work cleaning the team of overage players. I'm really happy that we have managers who understand that. Though Yahya was disappointing with the national team, I still respect and encourage that decision.
Nice to see that we can still pick up wins without overage players at the youth level, hope this continues down the road.
HUGE news coming from Iraq: 11 players were detained at Baghdad Airport for having forged passports. As a result of this, the FA dismissed the coaching staff and banned them for life. Players that are caught will be banned for life as well. Finally
Reports that the IFA will halt participation in age group competitions at all levels from U-14 to U-23 and they think of dismissing coaching staff and investigate players and coaches over age fraud.
