Yesterday, at Pampelonnisia stadium, the national selection of Iraq beat Portugal in anOlympic soccer match 4 - 2! 
Not that I like the news because Portugal lost —and I know here that Miguel would tell me something…—, but because we now see that Iraq is there, better than ever; the members of the team were smiling and fearless of defeat —now they won't be sent to jail if they lose…
They might not win a medal, but they show the optimism of the new Iraq. [img]smile.gif[/img]  [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Much that I don't like having the home boys losing - and a cold water shower is sometimes welcome!, it was a pleasure seeing Iraq back on its feet, at least on this particular scope but a step is a step. It's also good knowing Kabul's stadium is for sport again, not public executions.
How many more are there left?

"The Iraqis are smiling and fearless of defeat". Thanks to the "big-eared,dumb a.., more name calling" Mr Bush and the troops sacrificed to make this happen. But the US basketball "team" looked good,eh??? [img]graemlins/no.gif[/img]

that could quite possibly be the most stupid post i've read on this board (and i should know, ive written quite a few stupid ones myself  )
Have to agree on the US basketball team though
Let Bobby Knight form a team of amateurs, thats the way to go

Gentlemen, you are getting way off-topic
Look at these numbers!
- Iraq 4-2 Portugal
- Morocco 1-2 Portugal
- Costa Rica 4-2 Portugal
Anyone wants to buy a certified turkey for Thanksgiving?
Now that I brought this thread on track, we can derail again.

And to think some people want beach volley-ball banned from the olympics. The nerve!
