Grp D: Yemen march on. Iraqis through to last 16
Iraq 3 Yemen 0
January 12 – The Yemen story continued tonight. The newcomers from the war torn country who have become every neutral’s favourite team played Iraq, the old boys who wrote the script when it comes to manufacturing football teams out of war zones. The Iraqis won 2-0, the Yemenis won more friends, respect and global attention.
Iraq is rebuilding, the football team too. The Lions of Mesopotamia made the semi-finals in 2015 and even won the competition in 2007.
