Mohammed Kassid - The One And Only

Born in December 1986, Kassid started his career inspired by older brother Wissam Kassid, who keeps goal for Iraqi club Al Quwa Al Jawiya. Like Wissam, Mohammed quickly found fame as a talented keeper and his talent was soon discovered by Bagdad-based club Al Karkh, where he cut his teeth as a teenager between 2003 and 2004. After spending a year with Al Naft, he then moved to another capital-based club, six-time Iraqi champions Al Shorta, making 36 appearances for the senior side in three seasons.

Kassid's excellent displays at club level didn't go unnoticed and he was involved with both the Iraqi U-17 and U-20 sides before earning promotion to the Olympic squad charged with qualifying for Beijing 2008, where he made the No1 shirt his own.

It was no surprise when he broke into the national senior side under Brazilian coach Jorvan Vieira, who guided the team to the title at the 2007 AFC Asian Cup. Although he was left warming the bench while Sabri excelled throughout Iraq's triumphant campaign, Kassid didn't spend his time merely watching. The lessons he learned from Sabri's heroics benefited his own development and, in the build-up to the FIFA Confederations Cup South Africa 2009, he started for his country in a series of international games.

Now, he is Iraq's No1 and also the No1 of FIFA 's Confederations Cup 2009. He managed to fish only one ball from his own net, while playing against South Africa, New Zealand and Spain. This goal was scored by a not very unknown striker: David Villa - perhaps the best striker in the world, playing for the best National Team in the world - Spain

Good Luck to Mohammed Kassid ( محمد كاصد )....hope to see you in Europe soon

@edddieeidde The qataris rigged it as they always do against us. since they were noked out, they didnt want Iraq to get the Cup again, cuz if we beat Austrailia, we would probably have won the Asian cup again. The other arab countries dont want that.
