May they have the best of luck in thier attempt to medal; they have already shown that they have all the qualities that the Greeks created the games to embody.

Actually, if I read the article right, they are going to play for a chance at making it to the final gold medal game.  Now that would be ultra-cool!

Oh, yeah. THey are at the bronze game now- if they win, they get the bronze for sure, but keep going with the chance of taking it all!

Just wanted to clarify something here.  Someone said that Iraq are guarenteed a bronze, but they aren't.  They will finish at least 4th in a field of 16 though...quite an accomplishment.

Whoever wins the game between Paraguay and Iraq move on to the gold medal final, whereas the loser moves on to the bronze medal match.  The loser has to face the losing team from the Argentina and Italy match.  It's a pretty close competition if you ask me.

I still think Argentina is going to take the gold, and Paraguay will take the silver.  Iraq has a very good chance at beating Italy in a bronze medal game though, as Italy has been quite unimpressive.

Nope, we said that they are at the bronze game- not guarenteed a bronze.

But that's the thing JC, they aren't at the bronze medal game...they are in the semi-final.  If they win they go to the gold-silver game, if they lose they go to the bronze game.
