sdb815 Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Congrats to Iraq! Although it should have been 2-1, Costa Rica got a goal taken away but they still would have lost.

Ayepecks Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Congratulations to them! :) I don't think they were a huge underdog, though, to be honest. They've had an at least decent soccer team for a while now.

Call it luck or skill, but they won. They played a physical game and Costa Rica was simply outplayed today. Anybody saying it's "just politics" is insulting Iraq's players and to the sport in general.
