Iraq vs. China, WCQ Match

Thought I'd put this on here seeing as they are our opponents in Group A.

Watching online at the moment - a decent enough game.  I've no idea where it's being played, but I'm guessing in Jordan.    China are having somewhat of a go, but at the same time they're happy to sit back and let the Iraqi's have at it.  The Iraq midfield is very productive, it will be incredibly interesting to see how our midfield from tonight (assuming they play together) stacks up against this team in June, also taking into consideration our fast forming rivalry.

Commentators were talking about our game before kickoff, they didn't seem too happy that Australia won - anyone would think the AFC is scared of our potential or something.    :p

Iraq had a goal disallowed right before halftime.

Currently halftime now (12.20am), score is still 0-0.

Pissweak dive by an Iraqi player in the box after evading two Chinese defenders, penalty.

Converted with a simple chip into the middle of the net, Chinese keeper dives away to his right.

50', Iraq 1, China 0.

Noodle Palace still open??

How's the atmosphere at that ground, it's fair "going off", as they say.

Did you see the big group of Chinese fans there??

Full time, 1-1.

Best result for us - can be happy with snagging a point in the away game in China.  A win would be an ultimate super fun happy bonus.

The diving in the 'Asian' game is so frustrating, look at the dive that mong took in the Aussie box tonight. We have seen it all through the Asian Champion League and also the Asian Cup, it seems to get worse though, especially against the smaller teams. Sure the Aussies are no saints, but come on..... the diving some of these Asian teams do would make the great Beckenbaur ( ? spelling, sorry) blush...

china in china at altitude, midweek between club games and not on an international weekend will be near impossible

i dont think so, we are a better team than china - we need to have another good first half as the boys will struggle in the 2nd, i think we will get a draw there which would be a good result imo
