Disgrace of the Asian Cup (IRAQ) gets easily eliminated in the semis.

[ashegetoop]

Well Iraq got as they deseved. We didn't and still as a pahlavan with good sporty spirit wish we may the best team win the third place. I think most Australian are ashamed of bad job by referee and i hope the best team win the first place too.

Persian was removed couple of years ago.

And we were hoping to get fair decisions from these people? We should have looked at the site first.
Frankly if they gave me a job to sit with these people and talk about football, even with a million dollar salary I would reject it. I would prefer to be a ditch digger rather than working with some of these people.

All the more reason to set up the CAF and get countries like Uzbekistan and us on the same page to counter the clout WAFF and other regional Asian federations have. Whether we like it or not, we are stuck between a rock and hard place within AFC and no better way to become more represented in AFC than to start a committee of unified and underrepresented nations. Uzbekistan for one has been screwed like us many times!

Guys .. we lost on penalties ... come on.
Iraq had a man advantage. And we fought back galantly.
We lost the shoot out.
Iraq lost to a better team today . One who doesn't match up well against us.
To expect Iraq to WIN this game was always a stretch. On 3 days rest. After playing an emotional roller coaster that last 120 minutes.
yes I believe we should have been in the semis. and I think we could have gotten to the final
But .... Iraq wasn't the one who sent off Pooladi ... blame (1) The REF and (2) Pooladi ...

[PrinceAli]

Iraq still played Alaa Abdul Zahra. Afc is such a bitch for not even making them take him out of one game

its not that theyre arab, its that they suck

[Iran007]

Iraqi NT isnt any disgrace.
They lost to a better SK team.
They played hard and fair against Iran.
Do you have any Idea what would happen if we were playing KSA or UAE or Qatar and we were a man down and they scored a goal on us in the 119 min.?
They would park a bus in front of the goal and that would be it.
Iraq never did that.

They are a disgrace because of:

1) there disgusting arab behavior during the match
2) claping when Pouladi was shown the red card
3) when Younis started to fight after Haghighi was attacked
4) for using doped up player who fled Iran after his first test reviled positive results so that they couldn't take another test

and simply for being the coward, cheating arabs that they all are, because it is in there genes. Screw them all!

What is wrong with parking the bus? Isn't that what we do? Especially doing it in the 119th minute? Only a complete idiot of a team wouldn't park the bus in 119th minute.

It's insanely embarrassing to see comments like that made by Dejagah#21. Your blatently being a completly ignorant racist. I think we can all agree we were cheated by the ref. Much like any other team in their circumstances, playing a beast of a team like Iran, Iraq played a hard and physical match. We lost, unreasonably. But right now all I can see is a whole bunch of sore losers. Accept defeat, and look at it as an opportunity to grow. We have to build such a strong and powerful team that not even a corrupt ref can eliminate us. As many have said, We should look forward to wc 2018 instead of dwelling on the past. Despite how much many of us might hate "arabs" and their mentality, we need to show maturity and not stoop down to "their level" with these bigoted comments.
