Yahoo Sports reports: Iraq striker Aymen Hussein was delayed on the way to his first World Cup. Earlier this month, it wasn't clear whether Hussein would be able to compete in the tournament after he and another member of the team's traveling party were detained for several hours coming through U.S. customs in Chicago. Hussein also had a late own-goal, but Iraq coach Graham Arnold took only positives out of his star's effort.
