Despite some heavy baggage from the home front, team Iraq defeated Saudi Arabia to win their first ever Asian Cup in Jakarta yesterday. Especially amazing when you consider their victory in the semi-final game against S.Korea resulted in the bombing death of more than fifty people as people celebrated in the streets of Baghdad. Double amazing when you know their practice field looks like this. Celebrate with a couple short round bursts in the air and by purchasing official IRAQ Crew gear.
