Yep, football at the olympics is a joke.
Its only something for b-teams like portugal (who never win any serious titles). I never watch these games.
Here in Finland, I have done everything I can to blend-in with the Finns, I've changed my hair color, wore differnet clothes, got different

Maybe football in the olympics is a joke, I agree, but it's the only place where the Iraqi's get to beat the Americans. F.C. Najaf anyone?
ImageAll right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?

Iraq have a good chance of qualifying for the world cup:
GROUP 2
Uzbekistan 3 7
Iraq 3 5
Palestine 3 4
Chinese Taipei 3 0

The USA always qualify too from the North/Central America and Carribean zone (:lol: tough comp). It could happen next in Germany 2006.
