That was a fantastic goal, Iraq won yesterday so now all they need is a win or a draw against Qatar next Sunday! COngrats to the Aussies on getting through.

dubai

[karrarhm]

Dobai

[appbadder]

Good luck to Iraq

[lifeovdeath]

im iraqi and i advice both sides to stop insulting. both iraq and australia are good teams. as for what happened in dubai, the stadium administeration was emerati and not iraqi. and to the ignorant people, Iraq plays home matchs in dubai and not iraq because of the security, so i except them to get some credit for that.

[mam4948]

drotri you can't spell iraq, because you americans are to stupid

[drotri]

eat a dick you bitch ass nigga

[sitonmytube]

Wow, my respects go to Iraq. With all the chaos they have been through and are still able to pull some good football.

Good luck in the next round. I hope you can make it!!

Greetings from Europe!!

[n4dz12]

wonderful goal

its not a cross

he meant it

its a shot bcuz its 2 high for a cross and he kicked it to the goal not to the strikers

[wyldefrehley]

wow you have just proved it haven't you? you fucking idiot theres no way that was a chip

[bangorsmells]

OMG u disrespectful Iraqis were helping you guys out bak home & u dont even show any silence when the Aussie anthem is being played.Show some god dam respect.

[drotri]

fuck austerialalalla or wat ever the fuck it is, bitch ass niggas!

[smaxwell07]

dont get cut because u cant spell u dumb cunt! its australia!

[smaxwell07]

n fuck off drotri u fukn yank. no one likes americans

[n4dz12]

pay bak australia

[drotri]

fuck you and your country which i cant spell and i don't want to learn how to spell that bitch, you fuckin bitch nigga

[amd1977]

and that's precisely why nobody likes americans.

[enjoi552]

every country has got their fair share of idiots, don't mind 'em.

[assyrianpimp1]

for the record emad has been known to hit nice shots. this was no fluke. i always liked iraq n always wondered why emad didnt play in the asian cup but this shows he is great. one of the better strikers.

[Akumastarr]

I'm sorta conflicted.

Iraq and Australia are the better two teams in the group so in theory, I'd want both of them to make it to the next stage.

After saying that, I gotta say that I'd rather Australia and Qatar make the next stage for the simple reason that we won't have to play the Iraq national team again. They play too well against us and would be a big threat.

[angel199x]

Damn it all to hell... WHY HOLMAN WHY. my nephew can kick a footy way better than that and he's in kindegarten. Also why was Bresiciano benched for whole game? They should of put him on instead of Brett cant hit the side of a barn Chokeman.

[xXxJustPhiiFTWxXx]

both teams did good

but im pretty sure that goal was a fluke

he was trying to cross it

but oh wells

australia also missed out a good chance

[Zyzyzys]

So many trolls. Apparently it's an impossibility for Iraq to get through to the next round, so good luck to them for the rest of qualification, hope they show all the guts and regain the respect they deserve.

[RCmack]

Don't count Iraq out!

An Iraq victory vs. China and a Qatar loss to Australia June 14 means it will come down to the Iraq-Qatar match June 22 to see who gets the second qualifying spot.

I wish all these matches could be viewed in the U.S.

[519auto]

put the code &fmt=18 behind the url to watch a clear video

[ArsenalOfNewcastle]

it was a shame that we couldn't win but we will beat qatar on the weekend.

congrats to iraqi fans

and the iraq fa are racist scum.

[MYLOVELYLONGNECK]

unlucky but it wont happen again!

but how come they charged australian fans 10 times more than what they charged iraq fans to enter the game?

[erahead]

shut the fuck up cock head

[kawaiiluv4ever]

he iraq is the best in asia...good luck to australia and hopfuly we both go to the next round

[mrfootball]

Australia sucks

[telf10]

[daboom2006]

[shiazahraa]

[telf10]

[Shenlong86]

[SPECIALepisodes]

irrzqqqi

[aderm264]

i bet harry kewell couldn't do that.

[JazzHill]

hopefully we'll both get through and qutar can miss out...

[telf10]

yeh, and iraq's pane blows up.

[nazis09222]

I dont now thet In Iraq play Football! Nice! :)

[kbsino]

nice goal(4 emad muhamad ) and the most nice team(iraq).... iraq & australia the most two strongest teams in asia and most two teams that deserve qualifing to next level....iraqi young

[assyrianpimp1]

just great how iraqi soccer is bringing so much people together man. cant wait because we dont have to wait for the next 2 games they;re only a week apart. next week china and week after qatar. and then its australia and iraq on top of the group.

[UnitedArabBasra]

U Right! Only Iraq & Australia deserve to Qualify

[UnitedArabBasra]

I'm Iraq fan. Only Iraq & Australia deserve to qualify

[xyz001177]

......../

[arvydas0069]

You should have seen Baghdad last night...hundred of bullets flying all over the sky, you could see the tracers flying all over the place! I was outside my room smoking a cigarrette and a couple bullets hit my roof and I decided to step back inside and finish my smoke in the hallway:) Yalla Yalla Iraq

[MrRoboto1986]

I'm a Socceroos fan and I was sad to see them lose, but I think it's good that Iraq are still in contention. From the games I've seen, they deserve to go through far more than China or Qatar.

Come on Aussie!! Can't wait to see Fossati get pwned again!

[stewargreen]

iraq is the best asian team,,, the got really some talent players,,, i think the will make it throught,,, very good side,, hope we see them in the world cup 2010,,

[junjun10101010]

Iraq GOOD JOB..

[glory2win]

WITH ALL THE DIFFICULTIES WE GET ... MOST PLAYERS LOST AT LEAST 1 MEMBER OF THIER FAMILY... AND ON TOP OF THAT WE ARE THE ONLY TEAM WHO CANT EVEN PLAY IN OUR OWN COUNTRY ..BUT THE IRAQIS NEVER GIVE UP EVEN IF WE HAD 1 POINT AND 1 GOAL SCORED....

THE LAST THING AM GOING TO SAY EVEN THOUGH I AM A MUSLIM AND I AM AN ARab IS THAT... COMON SOCCEROOZ THRASH QATAR ... THIS IS A PRAY TO YOU LOT FROM IRAQ ... GOOD LUK TO US AND TO YOU LOT HOPEFULY US 2 WILL BE THIER NEXT ROUND

[nimrooo]

congrats, where was the match being played?

[tiger1chu]

The match was a bit suss really.

Australia didn't get a training ground to practice on. When they did it was only a couple of days before the match.

We gave Iraq a stadium and an entire week to climatize here in Australia. We even back them up when fifa threaten to take them of the qualifiers.

Wheres the fair play?

[mohasham]

Fair play my friend?!

When foreign forces leaves Iraq and thus starts to get stable they will be playing these sort of games back at home (as opposed to the UAE), at that time you can ask them to be good hosts. The Iraqi Football FA does not own UAE and its stadias, they are guests there too.

[tiger1chu]

Iraqi FA was in charge of the pre match preparations so yeah they should be good hosts.

[iraqiqween08]

goal sajilna hadefff....woah go iraq you rock woah do your thing ...kepp up the awsome work and make the iraqi shab proud

[assyrianpimp1]

i just never like the refs they always seem to let the opposing team go on yellows but iraq is given a card for the slightest touch i dont get it. if you remember someone taclked our player 2 seconds after the same tackle by our player except we got the yellow. conspiracy. just kidding.

[MaryamRose]

well done Iraq! you have no stable country, your "home" game is not at home on your land, you dont have proper fascilities to train, FIFA bans you then gives you the OK to play just 2 days before your away game yet you don't complain and still put up a performance. True warriors! We'r proud of you, no one else could put up with this hardship but you.

Good luck Australia in the next match with Qatar.

[daboom2006]

Yes all the best for Iraq, i want them to qualify too. Ive seen carle play for bristol many times. Hes an absolute gem. Excellent passer, fast runner and very good reader of the ball, also can easily get past a defender or 2. Holman should be shot.

[Parismustdie]

daboom2006, you're right mate carle is quality. He brings a more skillful sort of style to the team which we need. The only good thing i can say about holman is that he brings positive energy, but that doesn't mean shit seeing as he can't do anything with all the chances he is given. And its not going to magically improve, so drop him!

Btw, i had no idea that Carle was playing for bristol these days.

[Parismustdie]

but anyway well played by the Iraqis. i hope both us and them qualify for the World Cup, they are a quality side.

[Parismustdie]

cheap goal from our point of view, but seriously it was a great cross/shot/chip/ whatever. unlucky we didnt get the penalty but thats football, some go your way some dont. i totally agree about holman, i'm yet to see him get one decent shot on target. IMO, drop him from the team all together. Same with Mcdonald.... wtf has he ever done? completely overrated player who always screws up or just fouls the defence.

[Parismustdie]

ok to all of the Australians moaning about the build up to this game, i know its bullshit but what can u do, stop complaining. Its the same as Uruguay, deliberately making noise outside our hotel to keep the team awake.

But lets not whine and make excuses. We were outplayed. I dont know why we struggle in away games in asia and dubai, i know the heat comes into it but come on, they are supposed to professional players? I think to much emphasis is placed on the temperature.

[daboom2006]

GET RID OF HOLMAN NOW!!!!!!!!!! Put nicky CArle on Verbeek u nut. just because he plays in the dutch league doesent mean crap.

[chopinnocture]

the dutch are pretty good, best team to never win the world cup.

[daboom2006]

I know they are good. Im not saying anything about dutch league. IM SAYING HOLMAN IS WORTH NOTHING and nicky carle is a much better player than him. I dont understand why they put him on again after last week. He did shit last week and he did shit this week its not going to change.

[chopinnocture]

yes I know, I was being ironic.

[sageabbas]

Too bad that Australians were charged more than us for tickets. As for other hardships, well Iraq has had to deal with a lot more and for a long time. Things would've been much better for us if we could play in Iraq and much harder for Australia. This wasn't a convincing performance by our team but the goal was good. Good luck to Australia. They deserve to be in the world cup final in my opinion.

[prafty]

fuck. shoulda been 0-0. great chip but what a cheap goal. fucking iraqi hacks

[Google0002]

iraq is a bunch of fucking cheats.

no braining balls, unfair pricing policy, shit hotel and then TWO fouls in the box!

FIFA shouldnt credit that victory

[chopinnocture]

try invading them... they definitely don't play by the rules then.

That goal really was like a long-range ballistic missile, so the Weapons of Maths Destruction have finally been found. yadayada.. I go on too much

[MrIraq1]

Hahaha

[BurntToasty]

What a goal!

[LtBarnes2007]

Well Iraq only Won thrugh foul play in the lead up in my opinion. 1st of all, when we landed in UAE, our Hotel was never good, they made us train at 9pm local time, which is crazy, and only allowing us somthing like 10 training balls. We should complain to FIFA for foul play. Although were still on top of the ladder. But you iraqies should reallu b ashamed at yourselves, sure you won, but you know deep down you didnt deserve to.

[IRNIRN]

The Socceroos need to get used to this. Trust me, It's always been like that in Asia and You just have to deal with it.

[MrIraq1]

what the fuck are you talking about...DUDE we play in DUBAI ITS UAE not IRAQ...and by the way the the fuck did you have the Iraqis in Australia ha? nothing more then shit

[moeali777]

hey chill man .. we won . thats whats immportant and we won pretty good

[drotri]

ay chicken eat a dick u Australian faggot bits(like the tamponils) IRAQ will beat the fuck out you NUGGA!

[ImBored1111]

Iraq won't beat the fuck out of anyone, they might blow them up along with themselves though.

[Parismustdie]

grow up mate

[nou1990]

if ur an iraqi and dont support iraq in any kind of way then shouldnt even consider your self an iraqi. and i'm talking to iraq people.

[chicken1133]

fucken Iraqi cheats!! first not giving them training balls, then not giving them a stadium to use to train, then making the aussie fans pay 3 times more then the Iraqis!!

[benjitfc91]

FUCK OFF NORTH, FUCK OFF HOLMAN!!!

[triplelite]

If you don't like them then you're not supporting Pim's choices and decisions either, and therefore not suppporting the socceroos.

[daboom2006]

Hes right Holman cant play, cant pass cant shoot. Nicky carle is faster, has more tricks and has hell, has a powerful left foot and has alot better passing.

[nettiecakes]

no way was that a penalty to me. no obvious goalscoring opportunity since he wouldn't have reached the ball, and furthermore the shoulder barge wasn't excessively violent. if i saw that in the pub league i ref i wouldn't have given it.

[chopinnocture]

another great effort by Holman, he almost scored a goal. How good is that!

[tiger1chu]

Putting it in would be even better.

[chopinnocture]

that has never been a requirement for Holman brilliance..

and I'm being ironic

[tiger1chu]

Oh I see.

My irondar was off.

[lukeekullukeekul02]

We should have got a penalty near the start of the game though. Refs just don't seem to like giving us aussies penaltys

[AlBaghdadee]

Fantastic goal!! Thanks to UAE for letting us play in Dubai!!

3ash Al-3raq, 3ash

[Fenwickinho]

Farout, can't believe we lost...

Beautiful goal by Iraq though.

[rrXIII]

ohhhhhhhhh NICEEEEEe

[MrIraq1]

IRAQ ALL THE WAY!

[iraq4iraqiz]

[glory2win]
