... in football (soccer to you Americans)

Here is the link: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/2915451.stm

The final score: 9-3

This very human story gives me hope about what the US & UK are doing in Iraq.

Oh man that is a great story! I loved these lines:

"We turned up to play and there was no one around, just a few kids messing about," he said.

"Then suddenly, out of nowhere, came this kitted-up football team together with a referee and two linesmen.

"The boys thought they must be the Iraqi international side or something. In truth, they thrashed us."

All kitted up i could just picture it.. couple lads together to boot around a bit and this team with unis, refs and linesmen show up.. lets play! hahaha :D

This is the best news story for the last two weeks.. I wonder what bush,blair.howard thought of this...relief I guess would be an understatement. Wonder what Sadman thinks too [img]graemlins/evilhaha.gif[/img]

Maybe they should set up a coalition tv and beam this match live to all of Iraq. The best propaganda I can think of.

Also to give this match report correct bias, it should be pointed out that England are not to good at football these days [img]tongue.gif[/img] :D :D

They might also have assumed it to be an order.

We are talking about people who have lived under a regime where 'unfriendly' behaviour has consequences.

True enough Skunk, but knowing how fanatic people all over the world are for Football, I doubt there was a knife at anyone's back.

Now that's the best news I've heard all day. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
