Graham Arnold's Iraq thread



Graham Arnold has named his final 26-player list that will represent Iraq in their World Cup campaign, with keeper Kamil Saadi remaining in the squad during their training camp in case of any injuries. Jalal Hassan will lead the line as captain, but there is no place in the playing list for Dundee United defender Dario Naamo who recently jumped ship to Iraq from Finland and made his debut in their pre-World Cup friendly win over Andorra.

Surprised Dario Naamo wasn’t picked unless he’s either injured or Graham Arnold wanted to honour the players who played in the qualifiers.

No Ali Auglah either, looks like his switch is still being processed.

I don't think he is injured - he was selected in the preliminary squad.

Ali Auglah was not though.

These were the players cut from the preliminary squad

Iraq currently at 1:1 with Spain. A spectacular equaliser with a shot from the side which would generally be a cross. He seemed to mean it.

That's the difference to Australia. We'd hold the ball up and not have a punt.
 


Graham Arnold has named the Iraq starting XI for their World Cup group I opener against Norway. Jalal Hassan leads the line for them as captain in addition to starting between the sticks.
 


Graham Arnold has named the Iraq starting XI for their second World Cup group I match against France, making three changes to the playing list from their 4-1 opening day loss to Norway. Ahmed Basil starts between the sticks, replacing Jalal Hassan, whilst Ahmed Qasem and Zidane Iqbal also come into the squad for Ali Jasim and Ali Al Hamadi with Aymen Hussein leading the line for them as captain.
