00:30This is once-in-a-lifetime for me and for both of us.
00:35It's a once-in-a-lifetime.
00:37We've been waiting for this, and I'm very excited.
00:40I drove 12 hours from Michigan to come here.
00:43The biggest mistake, I should have taken a plane, but it's okay.
00:47Iraq is worth it.
00:50I think Iraq will play a defensive line
00:54that will make it hard for Norway the first half an hour,
00:56and then we'll start to take control of the game in the second half
01:03and get the goals we need to win the game comfortably in the end.
01:09It's very unlikely that we're just going to be an all-out attack against Norway
01:13because they're very good. They had a really good qualifying campaign.
01:16But I think if there's going to be a game we're going to win,
01:19even if the odds are against us, it has to be this game.
01:22So, yeah, I think they're putting all their cards on this one.
01:24So, we'll see how it goes.
01:42When you hear Iraq, it's associated with, you know,
01:45as being a war zone, essentially.
01:48So, football is very much something that brings people together, unites them.
01:52Anytime Iraq does something good in football,
01:54like, for example, when we won the Asian Cup in 2007,
01:57that was massive.
01:58That, you know, that literally stopped what was going on in terms of civil war
02:02and stuff like that at the time.
02:04Yeah, I'll put a pause on it at least.
02:05So, I think, you know, football unites people.
02:08We're a football-mad nation.
02:10So, I think, you know, making it finally onto the world stage
02:14has that kind of, you know, effect on Iraq.
02:17Very positive. It's just very positive, yeah.
02:19It means a lot to Iraqis, yeah.
