Iraq's World Cup qualifier with Australia will go on as scheduled with Blatter and Co lifting the ban on Iraq before the deadline ran out.Blatter announced this at the opening ceremony of the FIFA Congress.Sunday's match would proceed as scheduled.
The match in Brisbane had been danger after FIFA suspended Iraq because the government had issued a decree last week dissolving the Iraqi National Olympic Committee (NOC) and all national sport federations.However things seem to have been sorted out for now and as Sherlock Holmes said as he was heading off to play some footie ....the game is afoot..........!
