| Iraq's soccer team played in a major competition for the first time since the Iraq war started last year, losing 1-0 to favored Uzbekistan at the Asian Cup in China. Mirdjalal Kasimov scored the lone goal Sunday to give Uzbekistan the victory over Iraq, netting a free kick in the 22nd minute to put his squad atop Group-C. |

| #9 Rick--Well, we slaughtered all the baby ducks, so we had to find something to bomb! I guess you're sorry that Uday isn't there to torture the Iraqi soccer players for losing. I'm sure they miss him, too. |

| #5 When does the domestic league get under way? Think I'd have to turn down a ticket for Fallujah FC vs. Kirkuk United, if offered. |
