Iraq completes the miracle

This is ancient history by now, but I haven't posted anything in the past week because I was out of town and/or too lazy, so I have to write about it: Iraq won their first Asian Cup title, having defeated pre-tournament favorites Australia (group stage), South Korea (semis) and Saudi Arabia (final). The last game is not that memorable, just a 1-0 win which allowed Younis Mahmoud to become top scorer tied with Japan's Takahara and Saudi's al-Qahtani, and secure the MVP award.
