Gazz Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 According to North Korean TV, they've already won. Beat South Korea 46-0 in the final. Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un scored them all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slogger Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Ok, story time. Got free tickets to the Iraq/Jordan game on Monday, Expectations were that we would go in, The atmosphere would be pretty low, Not much of a crowd. Upon finding our allotted seats myself and my posse found ourselves behind the benches and deep in Iraqi territory. The middle aged bloke in front of us with an I heart Iraq scarf proceeds to tell us with a smile "You sit with Iraq, You cheer for Iraq" Fair enough, What's the harm? In the next 90 minutes I had probably the most fun I've ever had at a Soccer/Football game. Completely took all of us by surprise just how passionate these guys were, From the little kids to the guy we immediately dubbed "Iraqi Mario" for his sweet hat. I know it might sound weird to be gushing over something so inconsequential but considering what's gone on in their homeland over the years it had me pumped to see them come out in full voice (and by that large a number) and completely shattered all preconceptions I had. I left with an ear to ear smile it was so bizarre but in an awesome way. Couldn't get work off to go to the 'Straya/South Korea game on Saturday but we surprised one of my close friends with an early birthday road trip down to Sydney for the Final. Hoping for Australia (Ovbs) or Japan (She's a big Japan fan) but none of us would object if Iraq made it (Don't know if they're any good or Jordan is just shit) tl;dr Slogger was a bit unsure of Iraq, Goes to game, Now loves Iraq. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slogger Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Is Ray Wilkins still the Jordan manager?He is indeed. Speaking of Jordan, Word is going around that AFC officials force-fed a Jordanian player water in order to hydrate him for a post match piss test and he's in a pretty bad way now.

Roster Depth Sicko No. 2 Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Judging by those teams, it's like the Hardcore title of the football world. If that's what you think, this might be of interest: The Unofficial Football World Championships Probably as close to an actual Hardcore Title world football is gonna get.

phatman Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 ~cough~Soccer~cough~ It's what I'll always know and call it haha Australia has actually played pretty well in their first two games, I wasn't expecting much tbh but they've been attacking a lot and it's made soccer somewhat bearable for me to watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DFF Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Palestine are getting thumped (5-1 down into injury time) against Jordan. Iraq v Japan follows it. At least they got a goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
