[edit] Links

The links cited don't really gibe with the paragraph in the article. Wouldn't it be more accurate to say something like:

"During the 2004 Olympics, team members expressed their objections to commercials by the re-election campaign of George W. Bush which made reference to Iraq'a participation in the Games."

Reason being, is that the Bush ads didn't (verbally) mention the football team expressly.

[edit] More information?

Shouldn't this article make some mention of Uday's (mis)management of the team, and the effect continued fighting has had on the Iraqi team? The team has played through some very unusual circumstances, and it's probably noteworthy, as it would explain Iraq's pretty poor performance in international competition. --NEMT 19:43, 3 July 2006 ( I think its pretty poor to mention them as the best international team

al Zawraa is also an Arabic language television channel. You should have more information on that channel and a link to the information.

[edit] biased

This article is terribly biased. It says the team "re-emerged in 2004" while results show a complete continuity of mediocre to average, but not terribly bad, results, at least from 2000 to 2006, if not from before.

And yet they just won the Asian Cup... --hello, i'm a member | talk to me! 23:12, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Iraq football association.gif

Image:Iraq football association.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 07:44, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
