The Iraqi national team was eliminated from the Asian Cup by Jordan. The team was kicked out due to the expulsion of one of its players.

Now it turns out that at the Iraqi coach's press conference, another scandal broke out. Some Iraqi journalists began to interrupt his words, accusing him of impeachment. At one point the mood became so heated that some of them tried to hurt Casas, when they fell on the stage he was sitting on. Only the vigilance of the security personnel at the scene prevented physical harm to the coach.
