The Iraqi team is very talented.

They got a very good striker in Younis Mahmood.

Watch out for Nashat Akram ... a damn good playmaker, who was brilliant in the previous Asia Cup.

And from New Zealand, Shane Smeltz is a very talented striker also.

 

[Roopy]

Great story on Iraqi international, Ali Abbas

Im looking forward to Italy, Brasil and Spain games. And the u21 starts tmrw.
Hopefully that will take us up to the start of pre-season.

Ps-suggest some of you watch Silva to get your transfer copy up to scratch.

[Roger REDerer]

South Africa is a joke of a team.

What an awful game. Can't believe I watched that dross.

 

[The Nomad]

[Roger REDerer]

Game over.

Boring no-score draw.

[TheBunnyman]

So who's playing on the right for Spain? And where's Iniesta?

 

[livvy145]

I think he's injured.

 

[TheBunnyman]

Stadium's not exactly packed, is it?

 

[Red Mullet]

I think I had more attendance when I played on Saturday at school.

 

[Rory Fitzgerald]

Stuck my money on a goal to be scored up to and including the 25th minute at 10/11

 

[Rory Fitzgerald]

Iniesta is injured and didnt travel.

 

[Red Mullet]

Has New Zealand touched the ball ?
