Did anyone else here about the good news coming from Iraq? That’s right kids, good news, from, and I'm not lying here, Iraq. You must be thinking at this point, I thought this was going to be an article about soccer. Well let me inform you that it is. It is in so many ways, but I'd like to top this sports sundae off with a little class; that class being political and social satire.

So the Iraq National Soccer team won the Asia Cup this last week. You must be wondering why someone from the Middle East would be entered into the Asia cup. Well let's diagram this. First and foremost, what country would the Middle East be in if not Asia? Second, they are about the only continent a Middle Eastern country could win in. So with that said, they actually won the whole thing which, in the soccer world, is a big honor and title.

This is a big honor and title for America as well. Wait a minute, what do you mean for America? Well kids, we liberated them and frankly to the victor goes the spoils. But come on, we didn’t really liberate them; we really just made more problems. Well what you may call problems, I call a soccer match title. What do you left wing-cut and run-hippies have to say now. Nothing, know why? Because we have a trophy.

Only problem is the Iraq national team isn’t even from Iraq, they don't even play in Iraq. They haven’t even had a home game in years. So Yeah it’s kind of ironic that they play for Iraq, but in reality, would you play in a country that has a ref calling the game an hour early because your team took mortar fire. No, I wouldn’t want to either.
