How does Iraq play so well as a football team representing a war torn country?

How do the players ever get together or play club games?

Do the Kurds, Sunnis and Shiites all play in the same team?

To come 4th in the Asian Cup is amazing. They even won it in 2007.=d>


Fair play to Iraq.=d>

Iraq have always been a rough, tough side. They qualified for the World Cup finals in 1986, in the middle of the Iran-Iraq war; their game against Paraguay then was one of the roughest world cup games i've ever seen.
