Good Job!
Iraq Upset All Odds To Win First Asian CupIraq beat Saudi Arabia 1-0 on Sunday to win their first Asian Cup and provide a fairytale ending to the continental football championship.
The Saudis had been bidding to become the first four-times winners of the event but Iraq, riding a wave of global sentiment, upset the hot-favourites for a rare slice of sporting glory.

Considering how the team fared during Saddam's reign, I'm very, very happy for them and am hoping this gives the entire country a real boost!

Good going Iraqis!!!! That IS wonderful news! I especially love that they beat the Saudis.
And it was something involving the peaceful gathering of nations, a "normal" activity. Welcome back from the edge Iraq!

Bravo for the Iraqis, hope springs eternal. Its a pity their victory over South Korea was marred by bombings back home. The 7th. century crowd just can't abide living in the 21st. Infuriating, and sad. J'Mac
very well put, tmw....isn't it just wonderful? What a shot in the arm for them (a GOOD kind of 'shot', that is...for a change!)
