After Iraq won its first Arab Cup in 1964, the players were rewarded with a can of cooking oil, a bag of rice & some football socks! They decided to sell the cans of oil & bags of rice as it would cost them more to transport them to Baghdad!

Ex-Iraq striker Kadhim Aboud has passed away at the age of 70. Forced to retire from football for his political views, the Baathist regime killed 3 of his brothers and his 14 year-old son, so he took up arms against Saddam's forces. RIP

The best clip of the first half from Bashar Resan, Iraq's best player. He was unaware of the death of his mother, who had passed away in the early hours before the game. He was told the news after the end of the game. He will return to Iraq & not take part against Saudi Arabia.

Casas' team is representative of a new era of Iraqi football, features players born in Baghdad, Kirkuk, Najaf, Diwaniya, Dhi Qar, Basra and in Sweden, Denmark and Germany (who played for youth teams in those countries). This victory shows that World Cup qualification is possible
Casas and Iraq needed a result like this to make a statement. 1st victory over Japan in 40 years. Casas' lineup/tactics both confused & frustrated Japan, playing Frans Dhia Putros but not changing the 4-5-1 formation and not allowing Japan to get into their usual rhythm were key

Strange thing from yesterday's game was Frans Dhia Putros played his first-ever game for Iraq from the start at right-back. His first 90 mins in the position. He has more to give (didn't play to his best v Syria) and can defend and attack. An upgrade from other right-backs. 🇮🇶🇮🇶

In the past, Iraqi youth teams even at U14s were formed to win tournaments and not to improve players and prepare them for senior football. Fans shouldn't be disheartened, youth football is about preparing players, winning is a bonus. Don't put too much pressure on them to win.🇮🇶
