Iraq upsets Portugal in Olympic soccer match.

Edited on Thu Aug-12-04 02:26 PM by gauguin57

Iraq won 4-2 in preliminary match. Iraq's first Olympic match since 1988.

Meanwhile, we're making fresh assault on their country. Attacking holy sites and Iraqi holy men -- who seem to be trying to defend their invaded country.

What a weird state of affairs.

2. I know its weird.

I was just watching the game. Seeing all those Iaqi fans in the stands, I had to wonder what they went through and what they think of now.

What if we play them?

4. You don't...

need to worry about that happening... As with a lot of sports, our men's soccer team didn't even qualify for the olympics (nor did our baseball team which is truly sad).
