The Iraqi national team had to endure quite a lot to enter the USA.

It is reported that the players and members of the World Cup participants were thoroughly shaken in Chicago.

Special attention was given to one of the team's best forwards, Aymen Hussein, whose questioning lasted as long as seven hours.

Officials also checked the footballer's personal belongings, including his mobile phone.

Even more unfortunate was the official Iraqi national team photographer Talal Salah, who was completely denied entry to the USA after a ten-hour interrogation.
