This is exactly the kind of good news the people of Iraq need right now, something to keep their spirits high. If nothing else in a world of war, poverty, and uncertainty, you can always count on the power of sport.

I guess they have to do everything the hardcore way.

Beating Australia, South Korea and Saudi Arabia is pretty impressive. While not elite, those are all World Cup quality teams.
