    "DUBAI, April 28 (Reuters) - Iraq national coach Bernd Stange has called for the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) to clear his team for 2004 Olympic qualifiers after they were denied the chance to play Vietnam because of the war in the country."

    Stange also mentioned he doesn't know how many of his Olympic players survived the war because many of the players were with the Army Club.

    I hope the AFC can find a way to reschedule the two matches against Vietnam.
