Baghdad is delirious. Ecstatic.
And after that inital volley, they've pretty much stopped firing rounds into the air.
The singing and the dancing in the streets is just getting started.
CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR IRAQI FRIENDS!!

1-0.
By far the most common score in soccer.

The Iraqis played very good soccer to get into the finals. The below link has highlights from their earlier matches. It can be emotional to watch their inspired play if you know anything at all about the sport and what it means to the politics of the region

Soccer in soccer loving nations is such a big deal, and the fact that the players come from all communities will serve as a perfect metaphor for what they can do if they work together. Also, apparently no one thought they could win but them. That sounds all to familiar to the all the expert analysis about Iraq.

Excellent.
Congrats to Iraq!

What kind of person wouldn’t be moved by a win that symbolizes the possibility of a new and improved Iraq. Oh right: Democrats.
