Iraq is a poor point of comparison for any country looking to develop it's football
DOn't get me wrong the stadiums are very nice, but its indicative of a top down approach which doesn't work.
As opposed to beautiful stadiums, you need lots of little stadiums and fields that will hopefully be used by a well funded, unified and challenging youth academy system (clubs and at international level).
We should be emulating the youth system countries like France, Belgium, and Germany have... if those seem too expensive for us, South American countries are very good examples too.
