Makes nine clearances in loss

Hashem recorded one tackle (zero won), nine clearances and two interceptions in Monday's 3-0 defeat versus France.

Analysis: Hashem was the most active member of a back four, with his 62 accurate passes and nine clearances leading the squad during Monday's defeat. The result left Iraq virtually eliminated from the World Cup, but the defender will likely have one more chance to produce in a more favorable clash against Senegal. He's currently averaging 7.5 clearances and 1.0 interceptions per contest.

Plays 90 minutes

Hashem had one shot (zero on goal) in Tuesday's 4-1 loss versus Norway.

Analysis: Hashem played all 90 minutes against Norway on Tuesday, recording six clearances, winning five duels, and delivering two accurate crosses. However, he and the back line struggled to contain the Norway attack, conceding all four goals from inside the box. As he continues his second year of international play with Iraq, the defender's lack of high-level experience was evident, and he will face a difficult test against France on Monday.
