matthew Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 In case anyone cares, eight members of the Asian champs were in the Iraq squad that beat Canada at the 2001 World Youth Championships (as far as I can tell) with six playing in their 3-0 win. Six of those eight played against Saudi Arabia in the final. cheers, matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonovision Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 There was a small convoy of horn-honking, flag-waving, Iraqi(-Canadians) driving through my neighbourhood just before 6pm last night. I assume it was soccer related. I bet it made a few people nervous too, who wouldn't have known the reason for such a display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soju Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Why because they are going to SHOOT AK47s AT EVERYONE AHHHH! Let's lay off the Iraqi bashing, the people living there have had enough b.s. to contend with in their lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
