Graham Arnold has already made history in achieving qualification for the World Cup proper, becoming the first Australian head coach to make back-to-back tournaments and coach a foreign nation at a World Cup in addition to getting Iraq's first ever win against South American opposition but of course getting a point in the group of death would be an achievement also.
some will be impressed by that post of yours NM haha
Bolivian hats mate - scalps hahahaI'm loving these Iraqi players in their cowboy hats.What a night for them!
They'll be celebrating in their cowboy hats and sombreros until May when Graham Arnold puts them through their paces and picks the 26 players who will represent them at the World Cup before the real work gets underway for Iraq come June.I'm loving these Iraqi players in their cowboy hats.
That's always been the case prior to the expansion of the World Cup though with Asian powerhouses like Japan and the Socceroos but with more AFC teams it does mean that more teams get to contend with the best footballing nations on the world stage.
Iraq is a different kettle of fish compared to the Socceroos though so even if the matchups are similar he still has a completely different playing list to work with.
You know what they do to giant statues after a while over there right?
They'll only topple the giant statue of Arnie if and when he gets the sack as Iraq head coach before replacing it with another statue of their new head coach though, with the process repeating for as long as they have head coaches making history and materials to build the statues with.
