FIFA bans Iraq from international football
May 31
According to the PressTV release on the 27th of May, FIFA has announced that it is banning Iraq from International Football! This is in response to the decision of the US installed Iraqi Govt. to abolish all of the Sports Organisations in Iraq where the government desolved Iraqi National Olympics committee, Soccer Association and others.
This policy runs contrary to FIFA and the International Football in which Sports and Politics must be separated. This is a huge blow to Iraqi sports lovers. The Iraqi team will suffer the most being that they won the Asian Cup after defeating Saudi Arabia. It is a good team to lose just because of politics. What’s more, if the situation doesn’t resolve itself, Iraq will not be able to play any of the International games leading to the 2010 World Cup due to the myopic Iraqi puppet government.
If the Baghdad government does not respond fashionably and the FIFA suspension is not lifted, which is only if the government annuls its decree, all of Iraq’s fixtures would become forfeits, handing Australia a free ride to the next stage.
Stumble it!
