  • Ahmed Yasin Scores Off the Bench As Iraq Earn Decent Point
    Iraq National Team HOME RESULTS & FIXTURES VIDEOS FORUMS MORE The Liions off Mesopottamiia 2018 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers: Iraq 1-1 Australia AHMED YASIN SCORES OFF THE BENCH AS IRAQ EARN DECENT POINT Iraq drew 1-1 with Asian champions Australia on Thursday with substitute Ahmed Yasin scoring the equalising goal for Iraq in the second half. The starting lineup caused a lot of debate among Iraqi fans - captain and forward Alaa Abdul-Zahra was injured in the warm-up and Radhi Shenaishil decided to replace him with centre-back Ali Bahjat, switching to a three-at- the-back system with two wingbacks in Dhurgham and Mhawi. Many Iraqi fans, also angered by the absence of Ahmed Yasin in attack (whose spot was taken by Amjad Kalaf), felt that Radhi had made the wrong team selection. But the Lions of Mesopotamia started the game on the front foot, with Saad Abdul-Amir going close from a corner and Amjad Kalaf being blocked when nearly through on goal. Iraq continued to pile the pressure on in the early exchanges of the match and should have gone a goal up when Kalaf found himself a few yards away from goal with just the scrambling Australia 'keeper in his way. But the two-time Iraqi League winner decided to try and chip the goalie and got it horribly wrong, lifting it over the bar. The missed chance seemed to knock Iraq's confidence a bit as Australia started to take control of possession on the poor pitch surface in Iran. And the Socceroos managed to take a one-goal lead into half-time when Mathew Leckie powered in a header unmarked from a corner.

  • Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya Defeat Bengaluru to Become First Iraqi Club to Win the AFC Cup
    Iraq National Team HOME RESULTS & FIXTURES VIDEOS FORUMS MORE The Liions off Mesopottamiia Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya defeat Bengaluru to become first Iraqi club to win the AFC Cup Hammadi Ahmed's 16th goal in 11 AFC Cup games saw Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya edge past Indian club Bengaluru FC 1-0 to become the third Iraqi club to win a major continental competition and the first to win an AFC tournament. Jawiya were the better side throughout the game as they limited their Indian opponents to long shots and long balls and took control of the encounter. They suffered a huge blow on 27 minutes when their most creative player, Humam Tariq, was subbed off after picking up an injury, and considering that their other creative playmaker Bashar Rasan was suspended, it was left to striker Amjad Radhi to become the main outlet for "Al-Soqoor" (The Falcons). And it was Amjad who had Jawiya's best chance of the first half as he burst through on goal and attempted to lay the ball off to Hammadi Ahmed for an open-goal tap- in. His cutback was far too close to the 'keeper though and the 'keeper collected it gratefully as the chance was wasted. And Amjad was involved once again five minutes after the restart, with a brilliant touch followed by a rushed finish that flew high and wide. Jawiya were wasting chance after chance but finally found a breakthrough with around 20 minutes left on the clock. Amjad Radhi nutmegged his way past a defender and wriggled free to set up Hammadi Ahmed for an open-goal tap-in.

    Iraq National Team HOME RESULTS & FIXTURES VIDEOS FORUMS MORE The Liions off Mesopottamiia Radhi Shenaishil announces final 23-man squad for WCQ Radhi Shenaishil has cut down his 38-man preliminary squad to 23 players ahead of Iraq's upcoming friendly with Iran and qualifying games with Australia and Saudi Arabia. Many of the fifteen omissions aren't that surprising - goalkeepers Fahad Talib, Ali Abdul-Hassan and Ali Yaseen are dropped, while defenders Ali Bahjat, Ali Lateef, Hussam Kadhim and Ahmed Abdul-Ridha have also been cut. Midfielders Hussein Ali, Mazen Fayadh and Osama Ali, and forwards Jassim Mohammed and Ali Akla are the other players who have expectedly been omitted. There are only three surprises in terms of dropped players. Arguably Iraq's best attacking player, Justin Meram, has had to withdraw from the squad due to fears over his status in the USA if he travels to Iran (where Iraq will play their game against Australia). Jawiya youngster Humam Tariq's place in the squad has been taken by Al-Zawraa's Amjad Kalaf, who is receiving his first call-up since the 2015 Asian Cup where he scored against the UAE. And the third surprising omission is that of midfielder Brwa Nouri - many fans wanted the Swedish-based player to start alongside Saad Abdul-Amir in midfield but it seems Radhi will keep faith in young midfielder Amjad Attwan. Some of the players in the squad, including the likes of Ali Adnan, Dhurgham Ismail and Ali Faez will not be available for the Iran friendly on 18 March due to club commitments, and will join the team a couple of days later.

  • Iraq National Football Team
    Iraq National Team HOME RESULTS & FIXTURES VIDEOS FORUMS MORE The Liions off Mesopottamiia Radhi Shenaishil announces 38-man preliminary squad for WCQ There are three notable absences from Radhi Shenaishil's recently announced preliminary squad. Osama Rashid, who recently moved to the Portuguese second division, was expected by many to be given a chance in midfield but Radhi has continued to leave him out of the set-up. Ayman Hussein, whose goal qualified Iraq for the Olympics last year, is the top scorer of the Iraqi League this season and is on fire - but he misses out after picking up an injury recently. The third absentee isn't a surprise, but it still continues to be talked about by Iraqi fans and that is Yaser Kasim. Iraq's best player just two years ago is now nowhere to be seen in the national team and Radhi has stated that Yaser does not have the passion to play for the country anymore. Radhi has called up a number of players who have been playing well in the Iraqi League, such as young prodigy Hussein Ali and defender Ahmed Abdul-Ridha, while there are recalls for attackers Hammadi Ahmed and Amjad Kalaf and a questionable first call-up for Dutch fourth division player Ali Akla. This 38-man squad will soon be cut down to 23 players in time for the Australia and Saudi Arabia games. Here is the preliminary squad in full: Name Position Club Mohammed Gassid (captain) Goalkeeper Al-Zawraa Mohammed Hameed Goalkeeper Al-Shorta Ali Abdul-Hassan Goalkeeper Al-Talaba Jalal Hassan Goalkeeper Naft Al-Wasat Fahad Talib Goalkeeper Al-Quwa
