I dont give monkey if I­ see any of those ....Iraq team every body know what is­ going in this country war....GW SHOSE what he done with­ the rest to Iraq shame any body talk bad word about­ team of lraq..is good from them the play foot­ ball...back u21 1986 would cup Iraq beat spain 3-1 go­ and check Iraq beat protagel 4-2 in athan olampece­ ranldo was with them 2years ago Iraq beat Austraiiea­ 4-1 do you need more
IRAQ lose 1-0 with spain is this­ bad......................................
go and learan­ football

well spain rank as team no 1 in the world and for iraq­ team whom they just start tranning as team togather in­ one week i think thats good result.. i wish the iraqi­ team all the best hope with good win next time on­ newzeland will make the iraqi people back home smile­ for i know they need it. cheers every one

If some of u think that iraq not playing football i­ think u better check how tactic work when u face big­ rival like Spain...if iraq play open football they will­ end like NZ....Iraq know Spain will beat them ,so­ atleast they can hold Spain to beat them hardly to get­ better agreaget...and hope last group game they will­ beat NZ more than 2 goal n spain beat africa with lots­ of pain...

good result for Iraq. Spain will now play Italy or­ Brazil. they did what they had to do. this tourney is­ nothing more than an exhibition.

What an Asia Champion! I hope they will not go anywhere­ in future to represent Asia until they learn how to­ play football.
I am glad that the team will not­ represent Asia for World Cup Final in South Africa next­ year.

1 - 0, that is pathetic against eye rack! Dare I say it­ even we (England) would score at least 2.

Those of you who said it was up to Spain to score are­ right, why should Iraq play an open game only to be­ slaughtered by one of the best teams around at the­ moment. Well done Iraq....

14. The biggest diving cheat in the premier league is­ your captain. Maybe if he want's a league title­ before he retires at 33 he'll be ringing up chelsea­ again, begging them to have him. It's only because­ he got threats from his own 'fans' that he­ stayed. Still 18 in 18 years!

how come england couldnt even lose by a one goal­ difference in a friendly? anyone with sense would know­ no one in the world could beat spain when they attack!­ the iraqis are very clever! this is like chelsea vs­ barcelona.

come on liverpool

Did FIFA say anything about the effing horns because­ they are really on my last good nerve....

Aside from­ the game Iraq played really well just like Egypt­ against Brazil, these unheard of teams are gonna be fun­ to watch in next years WC should they make it....

When Italy beat USA 3-1 the other day i read certain­ reports from the Spanish press suggesting that Italy­ had struggled. Will they be saying the same things­ about Spain after beating a poor Iraq side 1-0????

Anyone parking the bus with 10 men sitting inside it­ will always have good goal difference. NZ at least­ tried an open game.

IRAQ is the best.. all over the earth..
IRAQ IS THE­ BEST..
IN SPITE OF THE loss BUT WE STAY THE best..

To loose only 0-1 to a team that has the foolowing :­
1st in the international ranking ; 34 matches unbeaten­ ,Europe champions ; with great players from Barcelona­ (Europe champion) & Real Madrid ( ex-champion) is­ realy a win.
Do you agree with me ???

DONNEY, @#$% AP YAA PRACK

Iraq played well considering their situation. Losing­ 1-0 is still a loss, but the goal difference could be­ the decider in the end, so not a bad result really.­ Still with a good chance to qualify.. And for those­ freaks who are just insulting the Iraqi team (literally­ or with their illusional predictions), you should­ consult a psychologist as soon as possible..

that should read LIVERPOOL bound David Villa.

teaming­ up with torres will give us the title and a very sad­ cheerio to old red nose and his cheating mancs.

they­ only have carrick to dive for penalties now that the­ winkerman is off to spain.
