Victory 2007
In times of war, sport can be a great leveller. And if a war-ravaged country goes on to become the best in the continent, it has to be special. It was indeed a special moment when the Iraqi footballers jumped and danced in joy after winning the Asian Cup in July. They beat Saudi Arabia 1-0 in the final at Jakarta and for a brief moment, a broken nation forgot its worries. If you had shed a drop of tear for these bravehearts, you could well have been one among millions to have done so. There was a high for India in football too, as they won the prestigious Nehru Cup for the first time. The field may not wasn’t very strong, but this win was a landmark moment.
