    Did they play baseball? No!
    Did they play basketball? No!
    Did they play hockey? No!
    They played soccer, The Beautiful Game!

    Seriously, it thrills me to see that the sport transcends language and culture to promote peace and good will. This is a way for the two sides in this unfortunate conflict to see each other as humans, to celebrate what they have in common instead of polarizing on their differences. The next time you hear someone disrespect sports because they aspire to loftier goals like World Peace and Eliminating Hunger, I want you to shove this article, and the one two weeks ago about the Brits, under their nose and up their a**.

    Don't suppose the Iraqis had a left back we could naturalize...

    o well, better luck next time. I wonder when Iraq will make its debut in the U.S. against us.

    So if we tie the Brits, we'll be tied with them on points for second. What's the tie breaker? Goal differential?

    :)

    Let that be a warning to you. Do not play a meaningful match in your combat boots.

    Great, we had eleven Sylvester Stallones in combat boots on our side. who cares. It's ironic after watching Victory with ol Sly that we actually have two of the best goalies in the world. One day all goalies in the EPL will be yanks.

    What's most embarrassing of all is that the Iraqs played the match while whipping themselves with chains.

    Why would we have to naturalize them, isn't Iraq now a U.S. state?

    I still remember during Desert Storm our battalion which was stationed just north of Kuwait City and south of Safwan, played some of the Kuwaiti soldiers right after the end of the war and we lost 5-2 although we played with running shoes. A good time was had by all and after the match we quenched our thirst with the closest thing to alcohol that they allowed us to drink--Sharps.

    Regards,
