[MehdiSoldier]

Gi IRaq, Go Iraq

[utubeadmirer]

Thanks for the Coach who considers himself, as he stated, one of the iraqis. Though he tried to move the cam away off his face yet the strong emotions were visible. Thank you and thanks for "your boys" as you call them.

[SolAurum]

Good job Iraq, I like the name of the team.

[Omnious24]

Congratulations Iraqi's! Best of luck in the final.

[Moopse101]

I want to tell everyone out there the iraq would be an amzing and one of the best places in the world with out the wars or fighting. I want to congratulate everyone who is iraqi like me for an amazing. Soon people will realize that iraq is and amazing country and iraqis are normal human beings!

[averitas]

We know that and we cried and partied just like you did all over the world. Not just the Iraqis but everyone everywhere. Everyone that was for or against the war, Jewish or Turk. You are a million times better than you were treated.

The soccer team did not have to be tortured to win, and they did it together as a nation.

You can do anything as a nation. You are an ancient and miraculous civilization, how you could ever think anyone thinks less of you... instead we think the world of you.

If one was truly honest and looked at WORLD HISTORY one would see that blind faith in ones Religion & the hatred of another's has been the root cause of all wars since man 1st descended from the apes! ; )

170,000,000 people got killed in the 20th century for nationalism and secularism may God guid you to the right path u don't know what u'r talking about

[MAldoseri]

[redwine4545]

And concearning Al Qaida, it is paited a devil just like other devils by US and Europe...always the same story with different names! First the bad guys are the native Americans, then the British, then the Communists, then the Islamists,...and later Chinese maniacs. Check out history dummy.

Do you think your country will always be in peace fool? The time will come for every country...only GOD knows

[eazydillinger]

thewestlovesfreedom?

thewestlovescrime! You made the situation as it is today silly boy. I guess you always love freedom after you have massacred the native people in all countries from US to Australia.

What if China will make a holocaust on US and then love freedom there because there are only Chinese left?

[thewestlovesfreedom]

Almost Every Nation has done wrong to another nation throughout history... You sound like the type that love the Peacefull Tolerant TALIBAN! You know the ones that blew up the giant statues of Buddha in Bamyan, Afghanistan. Yeah now that there was a "really tolerant islamist society"

[thewestlovesfreedom]

MUSLIMS killing MUSLIMS - I rest My case!

BBC NEWS "Two bomb attacks have killed at least 50 people and injured 135 in Baghdad as crowds celebrated the Iraqi national football team's win over South Korea. Just as the Iraqi team has Sunni and Shia Muslims and Kurds playing alongside each other, the celebrations brought members of all those communities out onto the streets"

And MUSLIMS praise Al-Qaeda's TERRORIST successes that You see on Al Jazeera -- What a truly sad region of the world!

[alameer9010]

wrong! terrorists killing muslims

muslims stand by muslims, if that wasnt the case, you would see iraqi people killing each other. Look what happened to us in the past 30 years, focus on the last 5 years. You will never find a nation that suffered more than us (except the Palestinians) The whole world looks at us and predicts a civil war. But let me tell you, IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. And i will tell you whyyy, it is because this is not our mentality, we are way better than that.

[vickilynn38]

Exactly.

[vickilynn38]

I meant "exactly" to hek211.

[vickilynn38]

I'm happy for the Iraqi soccer team, and that they can play without fear or punishment under Uday anymore. According to the CSMonitor, "National Olympic Committee president, Uday Hussein, the son of Saddam kept a jail and torture center at the national sport headquarters and often beat and humiliated athletes who performed poorly."

I do feel bad for South Korean soccer team though, especially what their fellow countrymen and women are going through in Afghanistan.

[liamsijm]

Great report al jazeera english!!

It is nice to focus on the positives of Iraq once in a while, as opposed to the negatives

[Uroojinator]

ditto..!! Finally someone is reporting on the "human" side of the poor Iraqis..!!

[chaldodon]

LONG LIVE IRAQ LONG LIVE IRAQ

[TrueIslam]

They beat Australia :D :p

[vidensodoacer]

I didn't even realize they had a soccer team!

[baldhahir]

ignorent thats why

[vidensodoacer]

Of course, if I don't know something, I am ignorant on that thing, which is the very definition--not knowing.

Now, I know, therefore not ignorant on this subject.

[firetosvm]
