Despite many have died during the sometimes overrated, silly war that was motivated by the Bush regime, Iraq still managed to send some high callibre, high spirited, energetic (and banyak gak yg kekar2 looking ) football players to win the Asian Cup 2007. This 1-0 win against their fellow saudi arabian brothers was celebrated by all the major tribes in Iraq: sunnis, shiites and kurds. Such was a mutual joy that transcended the tribal barriers.
Iraqi captain, Younes Mahmoud scored the victory goal in the 1st half of the match.

Pasukan Malaysia?????? agak laaaaaaaaaaaaaaa memalooooookannnnnnn.......!!!!!!
Saper yang bersalah....???? Kalau orang Iraq yang almost hari2 terima berita kematian and dengan banyak kekurangan dari segi facilities pon boleh menang, macam mana laaa diorang kat malaysia nih berlatih haaa???? so many factors contributing to the kekalahan yang paling teruk dalam sejarah bola sepak negara....ceh post ni aku nak tulis in malay sebab...ntah laa konon2 patriotik tapi seriously players pon ramai nya yang aku tak kenal pon. Except some very few names like akmal rizal. The rest are unknown to me. Kalau Almarhum Mokhtar Dahari masih hidup, menangis dia tengok betapa teruk nya performance young players nih.....Tu pon blom diskas about the management side and sape kepala2 management dia.....Setakat seorang letak jawatan doesnt really make much of a different pon. Except kurang sikit some kuasa mutlak, i reckon....
At least those under 12 players could save some grace. Dont politicize the game laa...let the best do their best on the turf and let us enliven those glory days of Mokhtar Dahari, Soh Chin Aun, Santokh Singh, R.Arumugam, Zainal Abidin Hassan, Ghani Minhat, and many more veteran, dead or alive hall-of-fame Malaysian players who have fought tooth and nail to become the champion they were selected to be. Bring back the "fever pitch" feelings we had once upon a time when we were dubbed the South East Asian tigers.
