Actually Saudia gave us a bit of a boost by playing at Malaysia, if we can't win this game then were ending up last, no joke. Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk
After the disaster in Australia, hopefully Radhi stops experimenting. KSA is very beatable. We need 3 points here.
He's been training with them for 3 months enough ********ing experimenting have you not got a proper team ffs
I don't like people using the whole 2 months preparation thing against Radhi. Not even one of the players he used during those 2 months (except a few in the Perth Glory game) played yesterday, everyone who played yesterday were either Olympics players or expat players who only joined up with the team recently. The purpose of the 2 months preparation was to try out local league players and give them their debuts and some game time etc, not to prepare the players for these qualifiers. Unfortunately the Olympics came at the wrong time and Radhi wasn't able to prepare them, you can't blame him for that. You can blame him (rightly) for the lineup/subs but at least be fair with the criticism.
Saudi Arabia is missing their striker and top scorer of the entire WCQ: Mohammad Al-Sahlawi. They are also missing Yasser Al-Shahrani and Mohammed Al-Breik. In other words, they are missing key players and are very beatable. If we can't win on Tuesday, then we have to be realistic and forget about the World Cup.
Good luck. Don't let your emotions control you in this game. Saudi are a dirty bunch and will take advantage of the referee.
Muhannad Asiri and Shaya Sharahili are called up as replacements of Mohammed Al-Sahlawi and Mohammed Al-Breik
I just noticed that Saudi Arabia is playing with their 2007 Asian Cup goalkeeper Yasser Al-Mosailem Turned out that their first keeper Waleed Abdullah left the team camp due to the death of his mother (RIP). Guys, we are facing a depleted team. There are no excuses really. Must win match.
Due to the lack of seriousness in the training sessions, Yaser Kasim won't play against Saudi Arabia. I'm fed up with this guy. This is not the first time that he puts his interest above Iraq. Therefore I think he shouldn't be called up anymore.
It's not 100% sure, there is still time left to solve things but it doesn't look good for him and if he refuses to play for Iraq then I'm ok with that. Just call up Osama as his replacement then.
From what i heard the IFA wanted to punish him because of the Olympic team incident,but rahdi wanted him in the national team.So now they're saying he's not showing interest in the team,training ,etc.
I don't know. This is not the first time we hear of problems between him and the management. I hope it's not true, but if it is then we should just forget him and move on.
Theres more to this story i think also the player has not been in the right state of mind since the summer, he wants a move and that is the why and the rest coming from the fa take with a pinch of salt, they said ali abbas could not play because he registered as an australian player with the afc and korean fa (totally false) and now this with yaser you need to hear what radhi says because whatever the fa says always turns out to be false, my opinon is that he was not right match fitness and state of mind and that is why radhi did not start him (he only cares if a player is fit and ready not who the player is)
I think that we should wait until all the facts are clear before judging Yaser. Having said that, this is the last straw. If it's true that he did create another problem then he should be banned from ever playing with the national team.
This is the kit we are wearing on Tuesday. I'm actually so bored of this kit, we have had it for so long now. Surely Jako have some new designs they can give us.
I'm already getting excited for this match. A win will get Iraq back in track, a draw or loss would be a disaster. If we won't do it now, we'll never do.
Yup me too.I can't stand the Saudis ,and i want to see what adjustments rahdi is going to make.Hopefully he comes to his senses and let the players play in their ACTUAL POSITIONS... A must win.
