Australia V Iraq - Highlights - 1jun08

[jagdiggarstoratuttar]

im from iran, and i think iraq is a great team who have big chance to qualify to world cup. hey just imagine if iraq australia and iran all wind up in the same group in the final round of qualifiers. that would be glorious :D

[AchtungBaby77]

Iraq is a tough team to beat and very underrated. Even against World Champions Spain in the 2009 Confederations Cup, they narrowly lost 1-0. Not to mention they won the 2007 Asian Cup. Here Australia just scraped through 1-0 at home.

[kram83au]

christians muslims jews all stink. football is the only religion,at least we know thats a fact instead of mythical nonsense.

[LeoDaFreek]

I wish that iraq had some Assyrian players. like back in the 80's. :( all muslims now.

[AMMAR1ALHAFIDH82]

@LeoDaFreek stfu........ christians ,muslims and other religions all live in piece in iraq till idiots american messed it all up and got their wahabbi binladen doggs to try to separate iraqies in the name of MI5 new islam(binladen islam). real islam is far from the made up new islam made by mi5 and fbi and mussad to kill muslims by new muslims ..nice plan .

[LeoDaFreek]

@AMMAR1ALHAFIDH82 I agree, America messed it up, but Iraqi team would be the same whether America ever invaded or not.

[AMMAR1ALHAFIDH82]

@LeoDaFreek i hope you will never live through war m8, it really effect having no electricity or good water or the simple living needs, well i hope you don't experience such misory of being scared of being blowed up or having a nice place to practis and chill or excersise in peace without being worried, m8 i hope no1 live our lives :) . it doese effect !

[MrMinkooo]

@LeoDaFreek new bloods in iraqi football team Kurdish Christians and Muslims so dont worry bro we will back again

[humamjd]

IRAQ is the best

[azmt131969]

am iraqi and am a big australian team fan in world cup good luck aussie u r my favorite GO AUSTRALIA

[IIHawarll]

I'm from Iraq. I wish Australia good luck for the world cup I hope that they play well against Germany and the rest of the group...

[iraqsaher]

see how many goals Iraqies wasted .. how many times they went by one by one and didnt get a goal :(

[SilverNgold77]

come on without noor we wouldnt be in the final 2007 so wha you on about

noor is the best keeper in iraq THATS IT no one is better so SHHHH

[SilverNgold77]

00:29 Great save he should be the keeper not Kasid (N)

[ahmed32pistons]

2:29 kassid would have got tht noor sabris time is done for the iraqi national team

[Roarlover34]

this was a great game, i went to it!!

[92Deltat]

nice backheel by McDonald

Celtic pride.

[HollandEK1988]

Damn i hate fucking Australians!

[FifaFeverO9]

y do u hate australians????

[HollandEK1988]

Yeah, because they hate us. In 1998 Qualfication for the World Cup in France, they himelated us by taking own drinkwater to Iran.

[TheNewGangsta]

when Iraq and Australia play, you always watch a nice football...Iraq missed many chances in this game, but Australia had also some moments where they could score...

Well, I wish Australia good luck in their next games and am looking forward to playing against them soon again...

[duduvissotto]

Congrats from Brazil !!!!

Hopefully the beautiful game will bring some peace for the Iraqis !!!

PEACE FOR ALL !!!!

[yakookty]

this match wasnt so good for Stroke, heart attack patients in australia

[AchtungBaby77]

"A special goal from Australia's Special K."

Gotta love Simon Hill's commentary.

[sniper94ali]

iraq was better in this game and he disorved to win!!

[paulorocky]

Won't disagree with you there despite being a Roos fan myself. This was definitely the most exciting game of 2008, and such a lucky win for us too. Iraq should be in this round, not Qatar!

[donvit]

thnx

[khalidegy2008]

iam an iraqi

i wonder why australians play good when they play to good team like win they won with netherlands last week, and they play not so good when they play to not so good teams

[daboom2006]

Because sometimes we have all our players, and sometimes we don't, so when we dont we have to play useless idiots like brett holman, who ruin everything.

[ahmed32pistons]

you guys have a great team and since iraq is out im gonna support the aussie the rest of the terniment cant wait till we play again though best of luck 2 you guys

[azmt131969]

r u sure u r iraqi..saudi asshole!!

[anoobshow1]

callmebob93 fak u have repesct for muslims and u eat bacon and drink beer so u eat dicks!!

[NightrainFM]

I'm an Australian and I am impressed the way Iraq played both games... GOD bless them... whatever youlike to call him.  PEACE

[ahmed32pistons]

thanks

[BroodFreakey]

no, fuck you, dickhead!

[miguekilla]

Hey people you know what, Australia change their soccer nation to Asia, easily, just because they're scare of South American Teams for the repechage, I think Australia will pass with any problem to SouthAfrica2010 that's not passion & fairy for soccer

[karrarhm]

Australia did not play with South American they used to play with the Oceania Teams

[UniversalVideos]

australia had to play the 5th placed south american team or something, after qualifying from oceania.

hence Uruguay!

[karrarhm]

and now they have to play 4 rounds and then Japan, South korea, iraq, KSA and iran. It's much easier to play agenst the 5th of South America.

[anoobshow1]

you are right!!!

[assyrianpimp1]

look at these people who have to start shit with everyone.all of you need to stfu who cares, iraq australia muslim christian it dont matter man its soccer/football just enjoy the game. as much as i love iraq and want them to win, i am also cheering for australia because i like their style of play just enjoy the game both teams will make it out at the top anywway.

[callmebob93]

dude i dont wish i was muslim i love my bacon and my beer muzlims eat dick and yeh the thing more pure than islam is the jews coss we all no that iraq will die in the end and the only one who can save us is jesus not allah

[sizar87]

reply to allowe99

i'm from IRAQ and i'm christian why do you have to put religions in football can't everyone just sit back and enjoy the game it's people like you that give us educated/good iraqi's a bad name and i hope iraq and australia qualifies by the way and seroiusly some people here really need to grow up

[callmebob93]

dude learn to fucking spell you dumb poor muzlim cunt and im from australia and dick its spelt mum not mom

[mmmjjjyassin]

hahaha typical american/australian pussys, on computer big mouth but on the street u blow everybody, look now IRAQ WON

[iplaycss]

australia are way to up themselves... they make it seem like iraq are the weaker team.. when iraq plays much better than australia... and iraq won the other game 1-0.. and the australian player called it a "fluke win"...

-_-

[sael86]

if you people watched the game.. iraq played better first half and aussie played better 2nd half.. and same with the game in dubai. iraq and aussie are very equal teams.. you never know whos going to win and they always put on a mean game.. hopefully iraq and australia to the next round.

peace from iraqi

[brocksamson4547]

stupid racists assholes, its soccer not your dumb political racism. enjoy yourselfs loosers

[callmebob93]

iraq is gay ahhahahahaah fucking muzlims fuck off back to your own country you dirty fucks

[allowe99]

ur a mother fucker

austrila is gay hahahaha fuckiing chirstans fuck off back to your contry you mom so u can fuck her on the bed

[iraqiqween08]

iraq now won australia and then they have 2 more games against china and qatar and the iraqi shab wishes they winn ....and i do so to .,...so make us proud younis and nashat and hawar and all the other players

[RCmack]

It could come down to the Iraq vs. Qatar match on June 22 to see who gets the second qualifying spot.

I'm guessing Iraq and Australia will each win their games next week(Iraq over China; Australia over Qatar). So that would mean Iraq's match vs. Qatat on June 22 will be huge.

Unless Australia totally self destructs, they will advance out of this group. The second team moving on is a tossup beteen Iraq and Qatar.

[psver123]

Ok iraq has won from australia... but iraq must now win from china and australie must win from qatar and at they and iraq will finish it against qatar;)

[turkey10]

iraq won

[Arsenal3609]

iraq won

[wyldefrehley]

argghh Holman is fairly useless. he has had so many opportunities in international matches and he just fucks all of them up

[Parismustdie]

i know... im yet to see any sign of him doing anything but miss. starting to lose hope

[JayFCAK47]

soccer is gay

[MegaLiamrocks]

@JayFCAK47 your gay

@JayFCAK47 and what is wrong with THAT?

[wasupbro123]

@JayFCAK47 so r u

[shiney94]

@JayFCAK47 JAY GAY

[RCmack]

Iraq is getting better at football.

I wouldn't be surprised if some English Premiership clubs start showing interest in Iraq's players.

Politics could be a factor in whether Premiership teams decide to sign Iraq players, but I feel politics should be kept out of football.

A really good Iraq national team defender might fit in great on a squad like Sunderland or West Bromwich Albion.

[master1987b]

cant believe we lost that match .. it was so sad .. but the Australians deserve to win they took their chances and scored , not like us 6 chances with no goal ..

goalkeeper was great and the crossbar was greater .... peace

[9a8rXTelkaif]

لا حولة ولا قوة الا بالله ان شاء الله باللعبة مال اليوم نفوز عليهم ونكسر عينهم مرة ثانية

Australia can be as hot as in UAE in the summer so every1 who wanna make an excuse that the weather was just too hot for the poor kangaroos (yes I wanna call them like that) can kiss my dog's #$@ (you know )

[hussain200625]

australia and iraq are way better than qatar and china so i hve faith in IRAQ all the way

hope they win next game in DUBAI

[grim581]

iraq defence was stuppid but DON'T SAY ASUTRALIE WAS BETTER australie had a lot of luck and no men can say no tho that but asutralia played verry good with there new coach and iraq did show some moves to :P i am glad for matches like this saterday wil be great

I THINK :

Iraq wil win australie so iraq --- 4 points.

China and Qatar wil play 1-1 ---- China 4 points and QATAR 5

Then iraq wil win Qatar and china and bring iraq to 10 points and wil qaulify with australia

[nate2611]

ive got few words for u other than stfu,aust 35th in the world now and only moving up!!!!

[MrIraq1]

You know what guys....Both Iraq and Austrlia is FAR better then Qatar and China, so guys lets hope BOTH get true Cheers!

[nate2611]

yea thats true but i didnt like his comment,and yes i hope iraq get through also i have alot of respect for them,there definetly an up and coming team ;)

[1VizZ]

ok thanks, Good luck on Sunday, Will be a good game.

[fahad84wl]

so it will be exactly at 2:00 am on sunday on australian eastern standard time; 16:00 gtm times on saturday

[1VizZ]

Kick off was at Sunday 5:00 PM Australian Eastern Standard Time.

[fahad84wl]

tell me first what time played match australia and iraq last sunday on australia time?

[1VizZ]

Viduka has Retired I think, most likely he has, is the game on sunday or saturday Australian Eastern Time?? and what time..?

[fahad84wl]

I agree with u; but i want ask where's viduka or he is retreat for national team

[1VizZ]

Well personally as an australian I want iraq to get through and qualify because I know iraq has good talent and are very skillful because they have gone significantly better over the years, I think both teams will fight till last minute in Dubai thhats for sure.

[socceriraq]

Australia played far superior game. Iraq had some very good chances but missed. but it was a game that could have gone either way but Australia deserved the win for being more persistent

[fahad84wl]

I think iraq win australia next match and both teams will be qualify; because they are better than qatar and china

[1VizZ]

fahad you r right on that one, iraq will play till the last minute , i know this, the weather wil l not be good for us, you guys need to get some points on the board, causse its not looking good for iraq and the qualifications.

[MrIraq1]

weather...isnt Australia a hot place as the countrys in Mideleast?

[Rurouni79]

Yeah it is, but a lot of the players on the Aussie side are coming from European leagues. Here's to a good game this weekend though - should be damn good no matter who wins

[1VizZ]

Australia were in control of the game and had 65% of the possesion while iraq only having 35%, explains whos in control and who isnt, not to mention Australia were passing the ball sharply and accurately which I havnt seen in a long long time. The only players who made an impact in iraq were younis Mahmood and Nashat Akrram, i respect those players and a few more... in the end Australia outplayed them!!

[fahad84wl]

I didn't meant australia played bad; also for iraqi there are some great chances may be three or four to score; and one more important thing don't forget australia will be play in dubai on saturday and the weather in dubai this month is so hot, so it will be some problem for australian player and positive for iraq

[1VizZ]

PPL just look at the fucking highlights and goal opportunities, looking at this and the whole 90 minute match is a totally different thing, watching the full game , Australia played better and were in control (MOST PART) of the match, occasionally iraq looked dangerous the first 10 or 15 mins later they culdnt even get the ball.

[4GIVME]

no way was australia out played. look at some of the great chances we had which resulted in the iraq keeper making great saves. at the end of the day the ball has to be in the back of the net. in iraq australia will win because josh (jesus) kennedy is set to play and no1 in iraq can stop his arial threat.

[fahad84wl]

don't beliene ranking you watch yourself the game and iraqis played better than australian even the match played in aus but socceroos knows how steal the match; and also don't forget iraq is asian cup champions and iraq win australia before three one on tournament

[fahad84wl]

don't believe ranking you watch yourself the game and iraqis played better than australian even the match played in aus but socceroos knows how steal the match; and also don't forget iraq is asian cup champions and iraq win australia before three one on tournament

[MYLOVELYLONGNECK]

wtf?

1 - the rankings are fact

2 - did you even watch the whole game? or u just watched these higlights?

if u watched the whole game you would know that australia DOMINATED possession, iraq did not play better and their chances were created from australiann mistake while australia CREATED their own chances.

[MYLOVELYLONGNECK]

lol its so funny these iraqis actually think they are better than us lmao

even fifa ranks us 35th in the world

iraq isnt even in the top 70

[1981iraqi]

itis ok i wish more colls to iraq in IMRAT

GRGHT AUS **

[fahad84wl]

iraq will win australia in dubai at least 3 0

[UnitedArabBasra]

/watch?v=l0oRXnq9wOk

[aeleya]

australian players they dnt no even how to kick a ball proply

iraq is da best

[Rurouni79]

Yet they're ranked well above Iraq, lead in head to head matches against Iraq and aren't at the bottom of the qualification group - so why can't Iraq get the better of a team that can't kick a ball properly?

[rwian]

if australian players (who play in the world's top leagues) dont know how to kick a ball, then the iraqi players must all be quadriplegics :)

[hellanicfury]

Some idiots on other videos reckon aus will lose 5 - 0 to iraq ? dead set monkeys who only day dream to much.Imagine palestine vs israel lollllllll it would be the most violent game ever.Anyways we are top of list and we can sit back and defend and get a draw and we will be happy with that.

[hellanicfury]

could have but unfortunetly didnt.SCHWARZER 4 PM :)

[supamantruke]

could of but didnt

[nimrooo]

iraq could've won the match by 3 goals

[redheadjess89]

Just one thing...GO YOU MIGHTY SOCCEROOS!

[UnitedArabBasra]

I already had bought ticket to the next match in dubai ,.. I thing Iraq will win this time!D

[MrIraq1]

isnt it free to watch the match in dubai?

[hussain200625]

iraq is playing with hatred and evil.. thats why they lose

[psver123]

[Parismustdie]

Grow up,stop being a stereotypical middle eastern twat. you fight for your country? oh yeah i find that hard to believe seeing as you're most likely hiding in holland.

[FatalityPanda]

Guyz Cut it out with the racist comments

its not nice u know even though socceroos won

doesnt mean u have to be racist to the Iraquis

at least they put effort into the game and traveled all the way from iraqu jesus u guyz are crazy to be saying this stuff on youtube

[rhomel1]

Go Harry! Iraq was very very unlucky.. Next game will be interesting!

[MrIraq1]

Man WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU, Its was a good game for both teams,Australia won get over it, yeah we wasted some chanses and so did they, It was a good video till some kid started to argument about who is best and all that shit...Grow up for god sake

[glory2win]

iraq did play well concidering we played in thier own country and had many chances 1 of them even hit the post ..... but thats footbal somtimes u win and somtimes u lose .... welldone saccerooos ,,, but wr not gna give up :)

[lachy384]

wish we had cahill but meh :P

[MYLOVELYLONGNECK]

omfg you iraqis seriously stop complaining!! YOU LOST!. your VERY LUCKY we didnt score MORE against you seeing as cahill, kennedy and viduka wernt playing

who cares about your fluke asian cup win im sick and tired of you saying you have the better team on paper blah blah, how many of your players play outside of asia? NONE! except that one guy that got rejected by england for his visa :|

jesus hopefully when we win next week you will finally shut up

[MYLOVELYLONGNECK]

we played bad and still handed your asses to you, you whinging cunts

[Rurouni79]

Thing is, they DON'T have the better team on paper. We have the quality on paper, but Iraq, to their credit, always up their game against us.

[MYLOVELYLONGNECK]

yeh i know it was on another vid where some iraq guy said that their team is better on paper replied on the wrong vid

doesnt matter anyway

theres a reason why australia is ranked the number 1 seed in afc BY AFC.

[KingHish]

Don't listen to those Fans.

It was a great match and everyone loved it.

We outplayed you when you had your decent team out in the Asian cup which wasn't fluke.

And you beat us fair and square the other day so congratulations to Australia.

But you know it could of been so much different but thats football.

GREAT MATCH BRING ON NEXT WEEK!

[Rurouni79]

Well said, King - looking forward to this weekend's game too. These two sides always turn it on when they play each other.

[KingHish]

I guess its because both teams love to attack.

The Game will be brilliant.

Although none of you had the pleasure of watching the game with ARabic commentry. (In England we don't have anywhere else).

That was FUNNY.

Credit to Both Teams.

[moeani]

lol@redhot, u're an idiot. u're not even close to be qualified to the world up. And speaking of revenge, we murdered ur country's team in the asian cup when iraq has been always having difficulties. lol we should've had ur moms sucking our cocks after scoring 3 goals. this game is nothing buddy. we played better, but u just got lucky lol. white trash =)

[Arsenal3609]

taht was one good game even thow my country lost

i was mad , iraq wasted 7 chances and what a chance hawar had at the 82 min it was a goal and he ended up giving it to the goaly

[Twodaystogo]

yeah would have been good if they all went in both sides had heaps of goes at it

[redhotgti888]

Suck it hard Iraq. Revenge is sweet. You can have the asian cup! we are going to the World Cup biatches!

[moeani]

lol@redhot, u're an idiot. u're not even close to be qualified to the world up. And speaking of revenge, we murdered ur country's team in the asian cup when iraq has been always having difficulties. lol we should've had ur moms sucking our cocks after scoring 3 goals. this game is nothing buddy. we played better, but u just got lucky lol. white trash =)

[Rurouni79]

"difficulties" - fucking "woe is me" whinging. If anything, Iraq's situation HELPED their game. The players themselves have said that playing for Iraq and giving them hope makes them play to their full potential, so stop looking for sympathy votes. Secondly, try not to be such a cliche Middle Eastern muppet and bringing "mums and cock sucking" into a debate - you're so fucking sadly unorginal and predictable. Iraq won the AC game, we won the Olympics qual and WC qual - accept it, and get over it

[gentpoeticwrtrmz]

Because clearly the australians have tougher lives than the Iraqis.

[sunderlandafckeane]

thanks for the video, bloody foxtel...

[zer0514]

most entertaining game the socceroos have been a part of since the 2006 WC. could easily have been a goalfest with 7 or 8 legitimate scoring opportunities going to waste by both teams

[thatkidnamedblair]

i agree kewell should have had a hat trick and the iraq's should have had atleast 3 on the board . being an australian soccer fan is tough

[paulie83]

a very entertaining game to watch! Its good to see Harry playing well. I'd like to see more Djite.

[aaam86]

unlucky for Iraq they lost a lot of chances well done aus nice match

[vw1971]

attrocious defending

[faroclau]

good game for both teams,Harry Kewell,Culina and schwarzer made the diference for australia...GO SOCCEROOS!!VIVA EL FOOTBALL!!!

[dannyc4]

An unbiased statement: "The better team lost" but no doubt that australias long balls were pin point accurate to be honest.

[qin02]

their crosses mate. but more long balls in general from deep midfield and defence in the second half for australia, due to a change of tactic from the coach to hold the lead

[chetnik4]

do they show the soceroos' games on SBS anymore?

[BrightOranje]

Thanks for posting. Iraq wasted so many chances!  But also good goaltending by Schwarzer and a very nice goal by Kewell.

[stivanyoukhana]

well,, they both played good,, but the itaqi player no 5 what a player,,, so good with the ball,, he kielld the game all around,, what a great metfielder,, hes good,,i think A LEAGE sould get this player for any team,,, iraq will win the next game easyyyy,, the far better then australia with greating chances and skills,, will be a good game.. good luck for both

[Rurouni79]

You couldn't be more wrong. On paper, Australia is far and away the better team - and that was shown with dominating possession last night. Having said that, Iraq always plays above and beyond itself when playing sronger nations. Well done to both countries.

[tuwaga]

mate are we watching the same game?

[Rurouni79]

I don't know, are we? Australia DID dominate possession, and for the most part dictated play. The fact that the Roos' inexperienced/makeshift defence wasn't up to the job doesn't mean that Australia weren't deserving winners.

[orangerangeparty]

dominating possession is nothing if you can put nothing together in the final third except for the early bresciano chance. offensively iraq were better than australia last night by far.

[Rurouni79]

Exactly, and that's why I said "for the most part they dictated play". As the game wound down, Australia went into 'goal protection mode' - when they should have continued their offensive dominance. The fact that Iraq played mostly reactionary football says anything other than them being "better...by far".

[uQpulse]

i think australia played okay, they kept possession well and played the ball around well. I think the movement in the middle of the park was a little bit negative, (not enough forward movement), which was fair enough once they had the goal, but against better opposition who will keep the ball, it will hurt them.

[Edsta3]

thanks for the highlights, I was there last night at the home end up on the top level.

I only saw the first half as I was spewing all the 2nd half because of a bug my sister gave me :(

[cypressdp]

cool story..

[Edsta3]

yeh guess so, but I was also extremely angry I didn't even notice Scott McDonald in te first half :(

[fitzfootball]

WAT A GAME i was there it was fuckin sweet we played really good in an attacking sense allthough we could have scored anuther 1 or two goals our defence was quite poor but yeh kewells goal was class and im happy we won!!!
