Abuja, Nigeria – As we dey waka enter the Asian qualifiers for World Cup, e be like say everything don turn upside down. Iraq dey try stand gree well so they fit qualify for di boss play next year wey go happen for America. Last time wey dem see World Cup na 1986, and dem no wan skip am again. Na wetin dem go take do?
Currently, Iraq dey only one point away from di automatic qualification zone; e fit dash dem more hope for di future. But make una hear dis: dem don gree win just one out of their last five qualifiers. No be am easy! Dem collect seven points from di first three matchdays, but since den, e be like say dem dey waka with ano rain. E be like dem do am reelection for di qualifying round.
But hold on! If dem fit win dis match against di South Koreans, dem go dey just one point behind dem, and dat one go make dem feel like dem get hope. South Korea dey hot like fire right now under di sharpy eyes of their coach Graham Arnold, who sabi dis football wahala well. Na only one thing South Korea sabi, and na scoring goals! Dem don manage to put di ball for net seven times for their last nine internationals. Na wah!
South Korea dey find footing since coach Hong Myung-Bo return to lead dem once again. Dem don remain unbeaten, with four wins and four draws from eight qualifiers. If dem fit manage win dis one, dem go secure qualification with one game to spare. Di man of di moment, Heung-Min Son, go lead dem as he dey prepare to collect him 134th cap. No be small thing, my people!
But e no go too easy for dem sha; South Korea no don fit keep clean sheets lately. Their last five qualifiers don turn into shootouts, with both teams finding di net. In fact, di previous match wey dem play together, South Korea manage win 3-2. I no fit wait to see wetin go happen dis time around!
