Denmark and south Africa. I think we can get a win against Denmark and South Africa and maybe lose to Brazil therefore will go up to the Round of 16 . What do u guys think?
We'll definitely lose to Brazil but it may go down to GD so it's important to not get a heavy thrashing.
pretty good group IMO. Brazil are by far the strongest and on top of that they have the home advantage. Will be incredible to play them on their home ground. When you qualify for major tournaments like this, you want to play the best. I think we can compete with Denmark and we can beat RSA. It was never going to be an easy task, and this is probably the easiest group.
Fiji would be the punching bag of the group, thus making it harder to advance if we slip up against either Denmark or South Africa. I consider our group the easiest.
I don't think there is confirmation Eriksen will play. I mean he might considering Denmark didn't qualify to the Euros but hopefully Spurs don't allow him because he will miss the first games of the new season if he plays for Denmark in the olympics. But as an Arsenal fan, I hope our main CDM has him on lock lol. But I don't mind playing these teams. Hopefully our players have a good respectable tournament and who knows, European offers could be in store.
Actually I want Eriksen to play so that he will miss the first game. Spurs are a good team, but I prefer Arsenal. Crazy game by Klopp's Liverpool today. I expected Dortmund to walk over them but Liverpool made an amazing comeback. The difference in Liverpool since Rodgers is amazing. Show's how much a manager mean for a team.
Managers have a huge impact on games, u can take athletico vs Barcelona game for example. A team with no big names beat a team with the likes of Messi, Suarez, and Neymar. It's football mate, anything can happen.
Indeed. It's pretty amazing what a good manager can do. Hopefully Shahad and Radhi will do well and prove that they're good managers.

Im confused still , according to iraqproplayers yasin will be a part of the olympic team that would mean either kasim, ahmed ibrahim or meram would not take part.
We need defense in the olympic team not offence. I think that choosing Osama Rashid as CDM or Rehema as CB would be a wiser choice.
If the Danish FA call him, and he wants to play, then Spurs can't stop him from going to the olympics. TBH, I would prefer to face the best players. Even if we lose, it will be nice to see. What's the point of going to major international tournaments if you only face average players?
Ahmed Yasin would go instead of Justin. I still think it's a strange choice to bring a winger, since we already have two quality players to go on the wings. I'd much rather use the 3rd spot for Osama Rashid.
There was never any doubt. Considering the Olympics will be in Brazil + The Brazilians have never won gold at the olympics, they were always going to pick Neymar. It'll be Neymar's second time facing Iraq, and he's much better than he was back then. He's going to tear us apart. Imagine the carnage that would ensue if we have Hawbir at rightback trying to contain Neymar. I wonder who the other 2 overage players will be. I think it will be Thiago Silva and either Marcelo or Lucas.
Off topic but isn't Marcelo not even picked in the Brazillian NT? I can't imagine him being chosen over the likes of Willian, Oscar, Casemiro or Filipe Luis.
