Iran vs Iraq-Asia's biggest football rivalry? Derby Day | Asian Cup 2019 UAE

Iran and Iraq share a bloody past. 8 years of War in the 1980s led to the loss of 500, 000 lives. Emotions are always at its optimum when Iran meets Iraq on the football pitch, even though the rivalry isn't football inspired but more geographic, religious and historical.
Though relations have been warmer in the modern era, Its always a feisty affair on the football pitch. The last time Iran played Iraq, they lost 7-6 on penalties, drawing 1-1 at full time and 3-3 at Extra time in the quarterfinals of the Asian Cup in 2019. I got a chance to catch some of the emotion at this years Asian Cup in UAE! E1njoy the Video! LIKE, COMMENT AND SHARE THE VIDEO. YOUR FEEDBACK IS MY MOTIVATION!
