Iraq drew 2-2 with England yesterday in U-20 WC..what a result for them..hope India will do this some day <br>
<br><br>Iraq were definitely affected by American Invasion but we have to remember that they had pretty decent football system like their neighbor's Iran since ages.<br><br>Also Iraqi Federation arranges lot of friendlies for their NT's unlike AIFF who make teams play local amature's and highlight them as if it were WC finals.<br><br>
<font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">Also got to remember that England are bloody shit. They took the Iraqi's to lightly. They were not audacious in the first half, playing only simple balls and barely creating anything. Second half was basically more of the same. </font><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2"><br></font></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">Thankfully Taylor won't bloody complain about not having his best U20 squad (Jack Butland, Andre Wisdom, Jack Robinson, Josh McEachran, Nathaniel Chalobah, Nathan Redmond, Conor Wickham, Wilfred Zaha, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain) but still this was disappointing.</font></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2"><br></font></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">Ali Adnan though, that kid has a future. Forget that Mohanad kid, Adnan has a much better chance of making it, excellent football yesterday for Iraq and he is only 19 years old.</font></div>
