An Iraqi Perspective

[AminGP]

Like a bunch of suckers you guys actually believe this guy? Have you seen what Iraqis are writing on Social Media about Iranians? FAR worse than Iranians writing about Iraqis or Arabs here ...

Want to control an Iranian? Control their emotions. For us, Iraq is the new Bahrain.

Those Iraqis don't represent the whole nation just like Iranians who attacked Messi & Lima's page don't represent us either. Bahrain and Qatar's situation is way different than Iraq. Those guys screwed with us big time but it was mostly the referee and AFC who's screwing with us. I'm sure if instead of Iraq we were playing China, they would have done the same.

well said Sumerian.

It is embarrassing what sore losers Iranians can be.

Hopefully the two nations can continue to improve relations in the future.
Good luck against Korea.

Piss off Iraqi troll

Congratulations to the people of Iraq.
The people who have been under such genocides & war crimes.
Congratulations to your kind & gentleman President, Mr. Fuad Masum, Prime Minister, Haider Al-Abadi & Grand Spiritual Leader, Ali Sistani who has always kept heavenly values away from earthly politics.
Best Wishes For Iraq ... One of the cradles of Civilization.

damn wtf...yeah these guys are all angels. sounds like an excerpt out of farsnews.com- i really could vomit now. yeah congrats for screwing us over...ridiculos. the grand spiritual leader...if he s so spiritual he should try to bring some peace into his country instead of begging us to hold our heads inn for his arab mates. who knows these guys..we dont care about them. today its masum fuad tomorrow another idiot. thats exactly the iranian misery, we try to cope with all kind of bullshit that happens to us and then congratulate the ones that cheat and screw us. After 8 years of war with arabs i thought maybe some of us might have learned sth. Saddams famous phrase *this is a victory for all the arabs* and then u guys come to tell me that most iraqis are with us. forget that story about shias being each others supporters, when it comes to iranian shias thats not valid. they are anything but civilized these cradles of civilization. just open your eyes and stop behaving like drunk fanboys.

I have no respect for Iraqis, especially the Iraqi Shias. Who use their two-face to tell us that religion connects us but secretly want to be with the Arab world - who btw would tear them limb-by-limb if other Arabs got their hands on them. Suck ups and inferior complex disorder ...

I know this is not football related, but you even saw that dirty Alaa Abdul-Zara, definitely a Shia by his name, tell Iraqis not to go to Iran. Yeah, please don't ever step foot in Iran, stay in your own country. Also, don't venture too much up north because ISIS might get you. Dirty prick.

If any Iraqi ever says "Oh, that's bad sportsmanship or sore loser" or any bullshit like that - show them this:

Iraq face weeks of waiting over complaint Qatar fielded ineligible Brazilian-born player

A verdict on whether FIFA was wrong not to sanction Qatar for fielding an ineligible player in a World Cup qualifier could take several weeks, according to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

On Wednesday, CAS heard the case brought by Asian champions Iraq, who complained Qatar's illegal fielding of Brazilian-born Emerson had robbed them of a place in the last round of 2010 World Cup qualifiers.

'There was no request by the parties involved for an urgent release of the court's findings,' CAS Secretary-General Matthieu Reeb said.

'It will be deferred until all parties are notified, which could take a few weeks.'

FIFA suspended Emerson after discovering he had represented Brazil at youth level under his former name, Marcio Passos De Albuquerque.

However, it cleared Qatar of wrongdoing, despite competition rules stating any team 'found guilty of fielding an ineligible player shall forfeit the match in question.'

Emerson had a previous brush with authorities in 2006 for falsifying his age on his birth certificate.

He played for Qatar in their victory over Iraq, a defeat which effectively ended the war-torn country's hopes of reaching their first World Cup in 24 years.

Qatar are currently top of their group in World Cup qualifying after a win and a draw in their first two final-round matches.

Team Melli is an unfortunate case too, missing out so many opportunities of winning the Asian Cup and happening to lose due to the fact of having a terrible referees and pure bad luck. I hope one day they will win again! they have missed out so many times.
Yes, we did win 2007 despite all the terrible things going on in our country for last many decades, and even worse things happening right now, like our countries literally in utter chaos and split apart. we were even fortunate to beat Jordan and come up against you and now make it to the Semi-Finals. Let the Iraqi people once again enjoy a happy moment in our lives where we are living our lives in daily chaos, even though I wanted Team Melli to definitely lose!

fixed it for you, for some weird reason you had gotten all your possessive adjectives wrong.

[hzv]

Give Iraqis and Iraq a break guys. Let them enjoy their own moment of "glory".

Out of all majority Arab nations I respect Iraq even after this miserable match and doping allegations, I also have a feel for the terrible things they have suffered in the past and are currently suffering. We are even culturally and historically close to their land and people.

I wish them the best in the Semi-Final against South Korea.

lol why do you refer to iraqis as "they" shouldnrt you say "we" last time i checked najaf was part of iraq and you were an iraqi and proud of it. stop acting like you are iranian.


now that is out of the way i would like to say that this was not iraq's fault and people's anger would be misplaced if they are angry at iraq. they were the benefactors of a very dubious sequence of events which was out of their hands. i wish iraq peace and calmness in the future so all the najafis can go back to their nation and live happily ever after instead of living in iran and plundering its assets while posting twisted historic lies about it while pretending to be an iranian intellectual.

They already had their moment of glory back in 07 when they won the AC.
What about us?? 39 years we have waited and every time we are close they rob us unfairly.

It is not complicated. Saudi Arabia + Bahrain + UAE + Australia all wanted Iran out of the tournament. That's why they ensure you go through. I'm certain refs will make calls in your favour when you play Korea. Get ready for your humilating loss at the hands of UAE in the final unless Australia somehow ruins UAE's pre-booked final plans.

I am starting to also get bored and sick of hearing these bizarre conspiracy theories and hatred against Arabs. We happened to have a terrible referee, whose even terrible in the Australian domestic league and at the end of the match after the insane drama and penalties we were quite unlucky. We have to get over it and too bad we can't do anything about it.

I always supported Iraq and will continue to do so once Asia Cup is over but for semi-final I hope Korea jumps all the hurdles and reach the final and punish the opponent whoever will be Iraq has been used as pawn by Saudi-Emirati-Bahraini-Aussie puppeteers of this year's event.

Funny thing is, Iraq usually is on the list of teams regularly screwed by refs and AFC. Seems they are still favored over us. Worse off than us are usually only Uzbekistan.
