Tehran: Ahmed Yasin has insisted that despite the fact Iraq have not been able to match their expectations on the Road to Russia, the team can one day become one of the best in Asia.
Iraq suffered three defeats from three as their FIFA World Cup Russia 2018 campaign got off to the worst possible start, although late winners from Saudi Arabia and Japan left the West Asians feeling desperately unlucky.
Fortunes have been somewhat reversed since with a 4-0 victory over Thailand and a 1-1 draw with Australia, in which Yasin scored, meaning the 2007 AFC Asian Cup champions have picked up four points from four games although it proved too little too late with elimination having now been confirmed.
