After suprising everyone by actually qualifying for the Olympics in soccer Iraq has just won its first match, against Portugal, 4 to 2. The game was 3 to 2 at the end of regulation and Iraq scored the final goal during 4 minutes of time added for injuries and penalties. Portugal was heavily favored to win. Well, Iraq now has something to celebrate as a nation. It may actually help the political situation to some extent.
