<<Last year, after sending troops to support the U.S.-led war against Saddam Hussein, Australia helped Iraq to rehabilitate its battered sports infrastructure. Among other things, Canberra sponsored a tour by Iraq's soccer team, to raise funds for re-establishing soccer in the war-torn country.

That commitment carried through to earlier this month, when Australian air force planes flew Iraq's 48-member Olympic team out of Baghdad en route to Greece.

On Saturday Iraq repaid the favor by booting Australia out of the soccer quarter-finals, in a game characterized by frequent missed opportunities by the Australians, and a spectacular overhead kick into goal by Iraqi Emad Mohammed.>>

These Iraqis seem to be very ungrateful lot!
