What revenge? Iranian NT is better than Iraq any time of the day. That AC match was draw because of bad calls by referee. There is no revenge or rivalry between us and Iraq. Iraq is a minion team struggling agianst Vietnam Taiwan and Thailand. They may not even make it to the last round of qualifiers. They can cheat their way in Olympic competition by fielding overage players but that is not going to help them in national level. Let them be happy with these toys. Their war-torn country is ruined in chaos. We don't need to bring ourselves in their levels. Let them be in this inferiority complex they have. They will suffer not us. We knew Mayleli and sport ministry will shut up now, and that is enough for us.

Lol chill. I never said iraq is better or they deserved to win. I would just not mind playing them again.

Iraq is a team that every team including us will be hoping to get in the next WCQ round, there is no point in comparing them with Iran

@hassaninmubarak: The 26-year-old Mohanad Abdul-Rahim scores for Iraq. 2-1.

[bijbij]

My iraqi friend admitted that they have atleast 4 players who are above 23.

I would be surprised if they have 4 players who are under 23. It's disgusting.

[Nokhodi]

The Iraqi team in this tournament is basically a full senior team.

Khakpour is a very nice guy and very level headed, he just isn't a good coach. But it is much harder to hate on him because unlike Miley Kohan he is a decent human being.

yeah I kind of wished he was good tactically, because he has everything else to succeed as a coach.

-He talks calmly

-His English is very good

-He looks presentable (not overweight)
