Thursday, the Arabian Gulf Cup continues as Iraq faces Oman. However the match goes, Iraq's accomplished a lot. Including winning last Thursday and again on Monday.
Ameen Al-Dakhil is one of many young Iraqi talents to look forward to watching in England soon. However, one superstar in the making that every fan needs to be keeping an eye closely on is @Ali_Hayder29 at U21 Stoke City.

This is their moment and they should be thrilled. Now if only the government had the same energy and drive that the team and the fans do.
