Olympic Soccer: Iraq 4, Portugal 2
Wow, what an upset. Portugal has some of the best youth teams in the world (the Olympics are an under-21 competition) and probably the best U-21 player in the game today, Christiano Ronaldo. Iraq had no business beating the likes of Portugal, but look what can happen with a motivated team out to prove they belong on the world stage. This wasn't some fluke either- Iraq dominated from start to finish and certainly deserved the win.
Congrats brothers! With the US not qualifying for the Olympics this time around you're my team.
