Iraq is a decent team and they are far less annoying to play against than the Persian gulf teams. Hoping for a good game been a long time since a played them last.

If iran loses or ties : ipl sucks, queiroz didnt believe in the players, qatar has destroyed our players
If iran wins : it was just a friendly, shojaei still sucks

Too funny man the shojaei part hahaha

I can't believe karrar didn't make the AC squad....alla abdul zahra was playing for tractor this season, he's a decent player.

I also agree that playing Iraq is better than other Arab countries....they definitely do not grass roll as much and play nice/attractive football. Hope to see a good game.

Karrar is the best Iraqi player out there ATM but he's a massive troublemaker and could ruin the atmosphere for them, which is probably why he hasn't been called up.

should be a good, somewhat challenging, much needed final tune up for both teams pre AC..!!

i just hope emotions dont run up too high in the match and no one get injured...!!

12 Hour countdown...

Based on the last practice photos, it looks like we'll have our full squad available for this game, including Ashkan, Khosro and Soroosh.

Does anyone have official confirmation or line-up yet?

[sarbaz]

Yes there is a good chance we will face them IF and IF we finish winning our group and they get second behind Japan

Yunis Mahmood is trying to take a page out of Ali Daie's book. He wants to be booed out of Iraqi team. Look at his fitness and all the fat around his waist.

Please refer to them as "teams from southern shores of Persian Gulf" ...
