Iraq Coach: We Played Magnificently, Still Have Chances for Knockout Stage

Iraq's head coach, Graham Arnold, commented on his team's 4-1 defeat to Norway in their opening Group I match at the World Cup.

"Look, three points are enough to qualify for the next stage, and we still have two matches left," Arnold stated, making it clear his team hasn't given up on reaching the Round of 16.

"At times, our play was magnificent, but a few mistakes severely hurt us," the experienced coach added during the post-match press conference.

Iraq's next fixture is against France on June 23rd.
