About two hours ago, our national soccer team won the match of the quarter final against Vietnam in Asia championship and now we passed to the semi final match. Our forward star Younis Mahmoud got the two goals, they were both great goals but the second one was the most beautiful one in the whole championship. Mahmoud celebrated by kissing the Iraqi flag he puts on his left hand. he took us to a new world where no politicians could ever take us too because Younis Mahmoud is a real Iraqi man while our politicians are only politicians having two citizenships, they are never pure Iraqis and they will never be ones.I just wanted to say thank you very much our young men, thank you for pleasing all the Iraqis, thank you for unifying all the Iraqis, thank you for being so loyal Iraqis. Thank you Youonis for your great efforts, Thank you Karrar, Thank you Nash'at, thank you Abbas and thank you all. GOD Bless Iraq, GOD Bless you young men, GO Forward men and get the golden cup to return smile back to the drooping lips of your people.

No country in the world deserves this victory more than Iraq. I was thrilled to see pictures of Iraqis celebrating together safely in the streets.
Good luck Iraq..in more ways than one!

Thanks for the explanation, Sudi.

Guns shot in the air to celebrate are not uncommon in many parts of the world including Mexico. It is probably most like firecrackers.

Just one quick question. What is it with the shooting in the air when Iraqis celebrate something? The celebration of the soccer team is so wonderful, it's a shame to ruin it with people getting killed and injured with stray bullets. Iraq needs to think of a plan B for celebrations that don't kill people and other living things. Just saying.
