#4 Iraqis love soccer. They beat Saudi Arabia a while back to qualify for the Olympics. Now with a victory against Portugal, who just won the European Cup, they have to be ecstatic. Winning soccer games can go a long way toward developing Iraqi unity.

#6 Scott R, Greece just won the European cup by beating Portugal (the hosts) in the final. Portugal had played pretty darn well to get that far though, of course. At least they had done except for the Portugal-England quarter-final match, that is, when a deranged anglophobic Swiss ref handed them the game.
