GOOD NEWS: Iraq beats Saudi Arabia, 1-0, to win Asian Cup

Submitted by rcarrasco on Sun, 07/29/2007 - 20:55.
FoxSoccer.com:
A squad drawn together in ad-hoc circumstances from all parts of the Gulf, and with its players straddling the bitter and violent ethnic divides, somehow conjured an historic triumph against the odds.
And it was no lucky win. Iraq dominated the final against a heavily favored Saudi Arabia, a three-time Asian Cup champion.

At the final whistle, captain and goal scorer Younis Mahmoud sprinted across the pitch with his elated teammates in pursuit before they collapsed into a pile, overwhelmed with their achievement.

It would be nice if this victory somehow helps the entire situation in Iraq. Stranger things have happened.
