Quote:

Iraq scored an early goal — but the Uzbeks soon answered with their own. The game went into overtime. Iraqis of all sectarian stripes were biting their nails.

Four minutes into overtime, Iraq scored the winning goal.

Baghdadis, Shiite and Sunni alike, erupted.

The team got a lot of press for their Olympic success and only barely missed out on the World Cup. They just keep playing well while their nation falls apart.
