| Yeah congrats to them. Very rarely you hear something good coming out of the country. I think it's also funny how the country that wins the Asian Cup ends up being the one that is totally divided, and in a state of mess right now. I guess it goes to say, politics has nothing to do with sports. |

At least four people have been killed and 17 others wounded in celebratory gunfire after Iraq's Asian Cup football triumph.
Mosques broadcast calls for the shooting to stop, while security forces banned vehicles from Baghdad's streets to prevent car bombings.
It later emerged that a suicide attack was foiled after police shot the bomber driver, who had targeted a crowd in the capital.
such a shame after something positve for Iraq but was celebratory gunfire ever going to result in anything else

There's nothing wrong with celebratory gunfire in arabic countries - it's cultural.
