An Iraqi Perspective

[Leicester City]

Throwback to this thread in spite of our rematch!

[Tehranto]

I still stand by everything I said in this thread .

I have mentioned this so many times, I am quite proud of having Iraqi ancestry and being a Najafi for that matter and that why I have been proud of mentioning it everywhere and also proud to be a Muslim. Many Iranians for your matter have Iraqi ancestry and have absorbed in to the normal Iranian population. Btw is Shahin Najafi is not Iranian according to you because of his surname, and I thought you would have been a big fan of the Salman Rushdie of Music and his anti-Islamic rhetoric. That's a shame.

LOL so Foolad is a proud aroghi.

But after TM smashes Iraq, they will most probably face KSA, and they will finish the job kicking the Mesopotamian cats
back to the Tigris! We shall thank later KSA by kicking their ass out of the Cup too.

whatever dude, prepare to be Smashed by Iran

Anyway Iraq will lose. None of the teams except for Our team Melli have shown anything that would qualify them as cup contenders.
IraQ used to be part of Persian empire and some Persians moved to Iraq long time ago because of climate. Iraq came to existence due to fall of Motasam the last abbasid Khalif who surrendered to Holakoo khan moghol. Thanks to the Mongolian guy. he ended taxation of the people of central Asia. then Turks and British moved in and their own fights, and the british made so many kingdoms and sheikhdoms and set up puppets everywhere. It was easier to control the masses using a puppet.

It is not surprise that some Iraqis love Iran because they share the same blood.
Anyway with CQ and the great players we have it is really an opportunity to play Iraq, Saudi, Japan and Australia and show them all who the king of Asia is in football.
We can think of Iraq not as enemy but as a little cousin, or grandson, after all we used to be called Persia.

LOL who remembers that Iraqi nobody who said no more Iraqis should play in Iran? Damn looks like no one else took them because their best players are Human Tariq and Basar Resan in Iran! Always biting the hand that feeds them.

I will quote the prophet KC McElroy, "8 years of chai and shirini"

Respectfully disagree. I think Australia, Japan, Saudi and Korea have shown they are contenders. They have shown to be very fluid and attack and create chances with ease not to mention posses a clinical finishing touch as well. Hopefully with the introduction of VAR we wont suffer too much from referees and avoid penalties because that is our Achilles heel.
