If you need proof that Hope springs Eternal. There is nothing more prominent that the Iraqi Football team. Against all odds, they have went on a fairy tale and brought home to Iraq the Asian Cup. A squad made up of Shi’ite, Sunni and Kurdish players, all whom have lost a relative or a friend in the conflict. Their pain is fresh and thus their victory is even more dramatic amidst such extraordinary circumstances.
After all as their coach says, This victory “has brought great happiness to a whole country. This is not about a team, this is about human beings.”
