@mnoanta with all my respects but this is not even b its C

[mnoanta]

@7ob7obti yea true haha

[PerfectSins]

@mnoanta

wheres your source on this?

Know that no teams will have their "full team" during most of their games.

They are always trying new people or have injured players ..

And doesn't matter. Korea is a much better football team than Iraq.. stop making lame excuses.

[mnoanta]

@PerfectSins yea thats why we kicked your ass in asian cup lolz

[chopinandliszt]

@mnoanta by "kicking their ass" you meant, winning against them by 4-3 in the penalty shootout?

[2009xellos]

@mnoanta but I assure you, it will not be easy this time.

[2009xellos]

@PerfectSins shut up, keep those comments to yourself, don't be so arrogant. I'm also Korean myself

[Kra7as]

Amazing it is how football brings people from all countries together, what an amazing sport.

Cheers to Korea, good match friends.

kurdishfire...Half of soccer is about how well you can act in front of the refs.

[pppuuuiii]

what???? this is new iraq team? what do u guys mean?

[haidar1144]

no it is not, the coach is just trying to find new talents

[Iraqininja9]

O this isn't the Iraqi national team...

[kurdishfire]

Good friendly match, but I really believe that penalty kick wasn't fair. The forward really acted and wasn't touched that hard.

[charleysdh72]

@kurdishfire

thing is, he would've created an easy chance by just not falling down if it was up to him...and even though he wasn't fouled "hard", he got tripped up. Tripping can be as soft as just a little touch on his foot while running and he's going to fall down.

[grim581]

this was the new team of iraq with only new and unexpierenced players, i still loved the game, seeing the korean goalkeeper in this game i remember the finals of the asian cup with the penalty kicks

[aoknives]

yea, these guys (krn players) have mostly new and inexperienced players as well.

I think the newer generation is better than the older.

[mjkim420]

according to post match interview, it was because of the light. i think the defender was blinded by the flood lights..unfortunate...

[nathantina9]

major own goal
