Yes, the outcome of a "soccor" match is going to determine what happens in the war. You are absolutely right.

It does show the power of soccer as a uniting force in countries otherwise divided  No other sport would have done that. (Cricket? I doubt it. American football? No way!)
But then I'm a soccer fan.

Didn't you marry someone Hispanic? I'm surprised you don't know the importance of soccer in other cultures. It is actually very influential.

It might be, but I doubt it's influential enough to "fix" a country that's been broken as long as Iraq. I might even go so far as to say that it's a good first step. But I doubt it's a big enough event to affect when our troops will be withdrawn and the war over.

It's a great (internally) uniting moment, but within a week or so good will wears off (unless of course Iraq wins the World Cup or something, that'd probably last longer) and you're right, it's not going to matter one way or the other with regards to American troops.

Phyll you should also put her on ignore. She's permanently brain damaged after her abusive Mexican husband beat her (although I can see where he came from).

So was it quality soccer? Mostly defense, or a lot of scoring? I didn't get a chance to see the commentary.

It was a good game. There was around 30,000 people, very small considering the stadium in Jakarta hold 85,000. Most people in the city didn't care because 1. Indonesia was knocked out in the group stages
2. Neither Korea or Japan was in it (they would've raked in a big crowd)
