great article on football and Iraq

here at the culture of soccer site http://cultureofsoccer.com/2007/11/23/soccer-and-reconstruction-in-iraq-and-afghanistan/#comment-6340

check out my comment too...

Also Iraq were drawn into their world cup qualifying group yesterday. And I wonder where they will play there home games. Indeed, if it is safe to travel there. If it is safe, and this can be demonstrated, it is real feather in the cap for the USUK. "Look at the free and democratic Iraqis playing football without a care in the world." Then again, if a bomb goes off it would be most revealing. I also wonder what the national stadium will be called?

the Bush Bowl- surely not. Tommy Franks Stadium- too no.

the Free and Now Democratic Iraqi Peoples Stadium, maybe.

The Sunni Shia Peaceable Republic Stadia.

Post Saddam Arena.

Non Secretarian Fantasy Field

the It Was Not About Oil Field

the We are not As Fucked now as we were before HONEST! stadium.

Enough of this high satire, I'm off for a ciggie...

Hmm, some puns on English football grounds for the Iraqi stadium

Camel Lane (Brammall Lane)
Theatre of Screams (Old Trafford)
Stadium of Fright (Sunderland)
Killer Park (Aston Villa)

If there is an N-Power stadium kicking around then Iraq could have the No-Power stadium.
