Jalal Hassan lands in World Cup Worst XI after opener

Jalal Hassan's mistake against Norway has landed him in Dan The Scout's Worst XI from World Cup Matchday 1 (1). For almost an entire half, Iraq had Norway rattled, the underdogs were holding firm and making a fancied opponent nervous. Then Hassan's error undid everything. "All the great work of the underdogs was undermined by a mistake from their goalkeeper," Dan wrote (1). Iraq's first World Cup match in 40 years could have been a statement. Instead, one moment from the Al Zawraa keeper is what the neutrals remember.
