May be because i m too good at soccer and because men who take guns are usually such sore loosers. I don’t know if i would be a little scared to play football with a man who take an assault rifle.

Americans were tearing down statues and the British were passing out soccer balls...who has more experience with running an empire? You tell me.

Then again, 250km from Baghdad isn't nearly far enough to not want to have a gun on you at all times I would guess. Still, you'd think the distraction of playing soccer would be enough that someone else was handling the shooting for a few minutes. Doesn't seem that safe.
