i know this tournament is not in high intrest but anybody following up? would love to see Iraq win it, they deserve it so much, there nation has been in deep dark trouble since 2003 so a win at the GCN would be a wonderful treat just like there 2007 asian cup was. At the same time i have an Emirati friend and i would feel for him if they lost.. but hey.. HES RICH!!

A lot of Iraqis where I live and they are all heartbroken.

Come on UAE
