Duh..

Today I received my results……….. I failed :(
Maybe I should change my blog name to loser4ever, well we have a say here that repeating will even teach the donkey :P
Duh…I didn’t have the mood to blog until today, Anyway the good news is I finally have my own car :) I just bought it a few days ago…


I spend the past year without a car, after what I’ve done to my grandma car, click here
No more high speed after that accident…

More than 1 million used cars entered the country immediately after the war has finished, since importing of cars was only under control of the government, and they didn’t import any cars in the past 15 years but only few in the last 2 years, they were so expensive compared to now a days prices; for us we bought at 1980 Toyota corona model 79, with nearly 1200$, and then managed to sell it just few months ago with 1300$ so we made profit after 25 years of using it :)
Stupid country I know :P

The problem now a days is the heavy traffic in Baghdad, there are many roads and important bridges closed, and beside the new cars that entered, there is no signs of getting the traffic light back to service!!
Anyway Things were even worse, when there were no police at all at the streets, with 7million population town!!

Am just hoping now that Iraqis we’ll be able again of buying new cars, as they used to do just before that stupid Saddam put his hands on the country at late seventies :)

Wait for me :)

Wow, 4 votes only for “this blog sucks” rest were between “great” and “Good”, this meant lot to me :) even though I want to know how much this blog sucks for those who voted for it :P

This time I made this poll to see the best Iraqi blog, I know there is site meters that can tell from the number if hits, but poll would be much fun!
And sorry if didn’t put all the Iraqi blogs on the list, since i can’t include only ten choices.
And the big trophy for the winner will be..... click here

That’s for sure was for the winner only :P

my final exams start tomorrow, so I’ll be off for 3 weeks from now, I’m so pessimistic this time, I don’t feel I’ll make it, and that’s why I named my blog as loser’s blog,
anyway I’ll not have much time to log to the internet, I think I should focus on my study this time, and I’m sure that I’ll miss you all……..

"The Kurdish National Congress of North America (KNC) is sponsoring a live audio simulcast (radio transmission through the web) , of this Kurdish Human Rights Conference in San Francisco on September 4th. And i guess they would like it if people in Iraq, but also elsewhere listen to how and what they discuss at their conference."

Muqtada way of justice !!

Iraqi civilians look at 10 bloated, darkened bodies in an open air room at an abandoned religious court run by al-Sadr's followers near the Imam Ali shrine, in the holy southern Iraqi city of Najaf Saturday Aug. 28, 2004. Iraqi police discovered the corpses and said they were victims of the maverick court's summary brand of justice. But al-Sadr followers said they were victims of the recent fighting here.

And as usual this case will close as if nothing happened here!!!
Al-Jazeera didn't even mention it.

worst nighmare came true :(

My worst nightmare came true, Iraq reach the semi final and come back without any medal, not even a bronze medal that we may add to the only bronze we took in 1960 at weightlifting.

Iraq dominated along the match, we missed at least 5 chances at first half, 2 hits the bar, and we continued missing chances along the 93 minutes;
I really hate Italy defensive style of play, and now they are even playing it against Asian teams.

Italy scored there goal at minute 8 of the match from a defensive mistake, then the whole Italian team played in there own box, Iraq really deserved to take something along this tournament :(

Anyway now we had strong team, a team that we will put all our hopes for next world cup :)

Gold and silver medals vanished, still bronze….

The Iraqi dreams of reaching the final vanished today, after the defeat against the Paraguay 3-1;

I believe Iraq lost the match for these reasons:

1- Adnan hammed (Iraqi coach) underestimated the Paraguan team, and wanted to finish the game from first half, and played with deferent lineup.

2-Iraq played with no defense at the first half; don’t know where they were exactly.

3-paraguay (with this team) beated Brazil last coppa America (that what the commentator kept repeating along the match :P)

4-talking about luck, this game made me believe there isn’t such a thing!!

5-Noor Sabri our spider man had no chance today.

6-That stupid French referee :P

Anyway we pressed a lot on the second half, after the corrections that Adnan Hammed made, and we lost some certain goals.

I’m proud of what the players have done to IRAQ till now :)
And congratulation to Paraguay (may be am the only Iraqi who have congratulated them :P)

We will play Italy for the bronze medal, hopefully they return with it :)

I received this sms after the match: John Kerry thanks the referee; bomb in Greece lead to earthquake in iraq, and noor just smiled :P

the statistics of the match at aliraqi forum
we were better :(

Iraq Vs Australia

Iraq passed the Australian team after a hard match, and managed to qualify to the semi final, letting Iraq at one step from adding an Olympic medal to the lonely bronze medal we took at early sixties(can’t remember when exactly) at weightlifting;

Iraq played very well at the first half, we had possession over the ball more than Australia, and this half ended 0-0

The second half the Iraqi players lost concentration, and played a defensive tactic, Noor Sabri made the best save in the tournament after a lob ball from Alex, and managed to take the ball from the line of goal, then jumped again and saved another shoot from the same player, then the referee canceled the goal for an offside (was a horror movie :P)
Then the game went on and on for the Australian until minute 63 EMAD MOHAMMED scored an awesome goal form a cycle kick and put Iraq on the lead :)


Noor sabri saved Iraq from certain goals, Razzaq Farhan wasted an Iraqi goal, and the rest of the match was for well defended line of Iraq and the confident performance of goal keeper Noor Sabri.

THANK YOU NOOOOOOOOOOR :)

This time the sky was really raining bullets, I wonder what will happen if we took the gold.

Italy qualified with Iraq to the semi final after the winning against Mali.

We will have to wait for the match between S.Korea and Portugal to see the winner.

GOOD LUCK IRAQ!

Here is the goal of Emad mohammed 6.97mg deserved to be downloaded :) >>>download

Iraq Vs Morocco

Despite of the loss against morocco 2-1, Iraq qualified as the first of its group and will play Australia, the second of group C at the quarter final.
Since Iraq was already qualified Adnan Hammed the Iraqi coach decided to rest six of the first line squad; the fist half ended 0-0, at the second half minute 63 Salih Sadeer scored the first Iraqi goal, then morocco draw min.69 from a penalty kick and then managed to take the lead at min. 73.

Costa Rica joined Iraq to quarter final after a surprise wining against Portugal 4-2, they scored there forth goal at min 90, and taking the seat from morocco to join Iraq to the next round by goal advantage.

Soccer is crazy that’s why we love it :)

The table will be like this
1-Iraq 7 3 +4 6
2-Costa Rica 4 4 0 4
3-Moroco 3 3 0 4
4-Portugal 6 9 -3 3

I hope this loss is not a bad sign for the Iraqi team against Australia.

Muqtada...

I just received a wonderful e-mail from US citizen today, talking about my blog and how it is great like me :P

These e-mails really make my day :)

I quote this from the e-mail hope he (she) don’t mind “…Do you know that the American soldiers who have to fight in the Holy Cemetery are having a tough time of it, because we are not used to disrespecting the dead? They told a journalist last week that they look at the cemetery plots and see pictures of the people buried there; and say they aren’t supposed to be there to fight anymore, but to help rebuild. But we can’t let people run wild in the streets whenever they want, holding people hostage with guns and their own rules……that is not civilized, and that is not true freedom; that is lawlessness; why don’t a lot your citizens understand this? Or don’t they want to? Please help us to understand.”

That was really something touching and noble, it made me feel more relief after reading it, and I wish I had the answer for it, since this cemetery is holy place for Shia, my grandfather and my whole family buried there, i think the biggest cemetry in the world; and The place where Muqtada took to hide in, WHY!!

The latest news is Muqtada refused today to negotiate with Iraqi assembly delegation, leaving the government with no chance except to break in to the Imam Ali shrine, the National Iraqi guards are preparing them self for the operation.
If this operation were really meant to occur today, am just praying for minimum casualties.
