But There Is No Joy In Baghdad...


The Iraqi National Soccer Team's Luck Ran Out

Hoosiers, Rocky, Bad News Bears, and that irrepressible Rudy...America loves an underdog...Too bad Team Iraq is simply a dog. Now I like a good Cinderella story as much as the next guy, but the whole Iraq Olympic soccer debacle reminded me of Magic Johnson's first All-Star Game after HIV...Everyone stepped out of the way to let him score and carry home the MVP. Further tarnishing the bedouins' "improbable" run were attitudes all too Kobe in nature. Some douchebag midfielder for "jihad on the pitch," for example, expressed his desire to kill American soldiers once his Olympic duties are fulfilled. Good luck with your soccer balls against those Apaches, Ahmed. Well, at least there is some justice in the world; the Raqis lost to another third-world country today 3-1. Lets see how fast "objective" and "politically neutral" sports journalists jump on the Paraguay bandwagon.

Douche Larue



Look at the bright side, green stockings...At least Uday can't burn you with cigarettes anymore.
