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?

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.
