Soccer might not truly explain the world, (all apologies to Foer) but at certain times it sure seems to put forward hope for a brighter one. Iraq, the land of blood, toil and tears has won a stunning victory on the pitch. Maybe, just maybe, it will carry over to the Parliament, to the back alleys, to the madrasas and the mosques. United you stand, divided you will fall.
Mabrook Iraq! Congratulations!
