Iraq looking to make history against Senegal, says coach Arnold

Iraq's coach Graham Arnold expressed his team's ambition to make history by earning their first-ever World Cup point when they face Senegal on Friday. Although Iraq has already been eliminated from the tournament, Arnold is determined for his squad to apply the lessons learned from their defeats against France and Norway.

"Iraq has never got a point at the World Cup, so we go for that history moment tomorrow," Arnold told reporters. He emphasized the importance of the match as an opportunity for Iraqi football to achieve something special.

Arnold also addressed his own future, revealing that his contract with the Iraqi national team expires in six weeks. He plans to make a decision about continuing in his role after the World Cup concludes.

Iraq is currently at the bottom of Group I, a group described as one of the toughest in the finals. The match against Senegal presents a final chance for the team to alter their World Cup record.
