    I speak a little bit of Farsi...

    Better Arabic, English, and French though...

    My actual language is an iranian dialect, kind of a cross between arabic and farsi, so that's by second language after english..

    Well. They couldn't defend Paraguay, and lost 3-1. But will play Italy for Bronze next.

    I hope they win it. :cool:

    Sad they didn't win, but they can still bring in the first medal for Iraq in 44years.

    I'm not sure why no one reports on this in America:

    Link


    Excerpt from article: (Hamad is the national team coach)

    One person definitely not on Hamad’s speed dial was President Bush, who has stirred some anger among the Iraqi coach and players for using Iraq’s flag during a reference to the Olympics in a commercial for his re-election campaign. The U.S. Olympic Committee has also raised concern about the ad’s use of the games for a political purpose.

    Asked about the commercial, Hamad said: “Bush helps to destroy our country. After a year and a half, we have passed into a very bad situation. ... We’ll never believe Bush can be with us.”
