Thank you for that report! And congrats to our Iraqi football friends. Please extend our best and hearty congratulations.
Can you please do that for us? There are many of us here in the states that love the game and we want them to know how happy we are for them!!!

Of course I will! I will be seeing all of our Iraqi counterparts tomorrow and we will pass on the messages from the U.S. without a doubt.
They love to hear that - they actually get choked up. I told some of our interpreters today a couple of hours before the game that the people of the USA back home were strongly supporting them. They were very touched by that.
The e-mails I have received from home are overwhelming - all wanting me to pass on their congratulations. I only recieved one snide comment oh, so slyly directed at me on another forum...she felt the need to express how booored she was with all of it. I won't tell the Iraqis about her. LOL
It will be my distinct pleasure to pass on all of the good wishes from patriotic Americans. :-)
