Iraq forfeits Olympic soccer qualifier vs UAE   DUBAI, United
Arab Emirates (AP) -- FIFA has ruled that Iraq fielded an
ineligible player in an Olympic soccer qualifying win last
November, and awarded a 3-0 victory to United Arab Emirates.
Iraq won the Nov. 27 match 2-0 but was found guilty of fielding
defender Jasim Faisal, who should have been suspended for that
game after receiving two yellow cards in two previous matches.
The ruling Wednesday was the second this month that forced a
team from the region to forfeit a qualifier for fielding an
ineligible player. Oman was awarded a win over Qatar after the
teams initially played to a draw.  The UAE is tied with
Uzbekistan at the top of Group B with two matches to go.
