Well I must say those words from some on the Iraqi team pretty much poisoned it for me.
Until other Iraqi's on the team say otherwise, that's where I will remain.
To hell with them. I hope they lose in the semi-finals. I was watching Washington Journal on C-Span yesterday morning and they show a clipping where the midfielder was quoted as saying if he wasn't playing soccer he be in iraq killing U.S. troops. I was floored when I heard that. That quote was sanitized from the version floating on here last night.
Those little bastards can eat sh!t and die for all I care.
