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

I am not a soccer fan at all. Aint no dang commercials. Mans gotta have a chance to get a beer and take care of business. Baseball, we have time, Football, we have time. NASACAR, you take your chances, but you have time, we are going in a circle for 500 miles. Golf, I don't watch, but a fellow could go check the food on the grill and not miss anything.
Besides, I get tired watching them run around like that. I ran in the Army. I did so much running I never have to run again to stay in shape. I am still burning calories. I can't watch people run around on a soccer field for that amount of time. Makes me burn calories faster.
Anyway, even with my bad opinion of Soccer, I still am very happy for the Iraqi's. It was very close game and must have been a fun one to watch.
