-Harry Kane
Absolutely insane 🤯🐐
Lionel Messi is the greatest human being to ever lace up a pair of football boots.
Of course he scores 20 years to the day he made his World Cup debut.
Iraq should be proud of themselves. Forty years of war, conflict, sanctions, and everything else, the reason why we haven't played at the World Cup for forty years. This is a message to the world: Iraq is here. 🇮🇶🇮🇶
FT. The brave boys of Gheera show worthy of a world cup spot, even though the score would suggest otherwise.
As the Dutch would say, this has been a "Geflatteerde nederlaag". A point would not have been undeserved, and we have all to dream for the remaining games against France and Senegal.
As sorrowful as I might be, I am also filled with pride, as this has been a performance to remember. One with a beautiful goal by Aymen Hussein, one with a very strong first half and one where we could've gotten a point, if just a little luckier (and not doing that..... whatever Zaid and Jalal did together at the end of the first half)
We go on to dream at least 2 more games. Thank you all for tuning in tonight.
Final score 🇮🇶1 -4 🇳🇴
🚨🇮🇶 THIS IS THE STORY OF AYMEN HUSSEIN!
• His father was killed by Al Qaida.
• His brother was kidnapped and never found again.
• When he entered the USA for the World Cup, he was interrogated for 7 hours.
• He was very close to not being allowed to enter the country.
• And now he scores the 2nd goal in Iraq's World Cup history.
This kid playing for Ivory Coast... Yan Diomande
Three years ago he was playing high school and UPSL soccer in Florida.
This summer he is one of the hottest players in the world and might get a transfer fee of $100+ million to go to Liverpool
