GO IRAQ!!!!!
Iraq have reached the final, and they did it with style. I haven't watched the game yet, but I have it recorded. From everything I've read so far, despite the initial 0-0 score, it was a tense game up until the fourth penalty kick scored by Iraq. That was when "the king of penalty kicks" lost his throne.
South Korea went out with a 4-3 score, after penalty kicks.
The man of the match for the tense game was Iraqi goalkeeper Noor Sabri Abbas (pictured above).
This is a very exciting day for all Iraqis, who were given the gift of victory by their team and their brilliant Brazilian coach, Jorvan Vieira. The streets of Baghdad and pretty much every city in Iraq are filled with shiny, happy people jubilating and celebrating Iraq's success at the Asian Cup. The final game will be June 29 and Iraq will play Saudi Arabia, who beat Japan today as well with 3-2.
