What we honor as prudence in our elders is simply panic in action.

I agree with the Forechecker. I think this victory could be huge, and could well mean to the Iraqi's what the Miracle on Ice did for the US back in 1980, only possibly bigger since soccer is more popular there now than hockey was in the US then.
This team was made of Sunis, Shiites, and Kurds, and beat the Saudi team that were huge favorites and had won several cups in a row. Nice win!
Here's what the Iraqi team captain Younis Mahmoud, who scored the winning goal, said afterwards:
"I want America to go out," he said. "Today, tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, but out. I wish the American people didn't invade Iraq and, hopefully, it will be over soon."
And then their coach resigned.
