It was kind of interesting how something as simple as a football (Soccer) game could bring together people who are killing each other on any other day. Thank God or Allah for one day of relative (only 50 dead) calm in a country where killing your neighbor is not just a sport, but a necessity, and more is the pity!
Anyway, Tens of thousands of Iraqis from the Shiite south to the Kurdish-dominated north poured into the usually treacherous streets Sunday to celebrate a rare moment of joy and unity when the national team won Asia's most prestigious soccer tournament. The revelers spanning the country's sectarian and ethnic divisions danced, sang and waved flags and posters of the team after Iraq beat three-time champion Saudi Arabia 1-0 to take the Asian Cup.
WINS
