Recap: Palestine keep finding ways to lose against Iraq. For those of us who have seen nearly every single game Palestine have played against The Lions of Mesopotamia today's unfortunate series of events does not come as a surprise. In this game, the 16th edition of Palestine failing to beat Iraq, the script had a few surprises and unexpected turns. Palestine started the game by pressing high up the pitch- and they were rewarded for it after less than two minutes had been played.

Winning the ball in areas high up the pitch allowed Abdallah Jaber to be in a position to pinpoint a cross to Mohammed Yameen who was clumsily challenged from behind by his Iraqi marker. Up step…

Ould Ali's reign has been marked by confusion, conservatism, and cowardice.

Bottom of Group D with a meagre four points and three goals scored from five games, Palestine no longer control their destiny in World Cup qualification. Official elimination will come at some point in early 2020- particularly if Group favourites Uzbekistan and Saudi Arabia take care of business next month.

Palestine achieved a haul of 14 points in 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification.

Fast forward three years and the team has simply regressed despite adding quality pieces to the player pool.

A famous 2-0 win over Uzbekistan in September should have been a catalyst for a deep run in World Cup qualifica…

Recap: Palestine and Lebanon faced off in the knowledge that nothing less than a win would keep them alive and within touching distance of Iraq in Group A. That said, the first half was a moribund affair as both sides struggled to create chances. In fact, neither goalkeeper had a save to make in the first half and other than a total of five corners between the two sides there was no event of note.

Lebanon attacked through their talisman with the intent to unbalance one of the youngest players on the pitch. Musa Farawi was up to the task as he faced down Hasan Maatouk more than once and found a way to neutralize one of the …
