When Iraq beat Saudi Arabia in the 2005 or 2006 World Cup playoffs, the city lit up with "happy fire". It looked like the images of the first night of air attacks in Operation Desert Storm. Forty-nine people died from flying objects coming back down. Fortunately, I was under the roof of an observation tower and not on foot patrol.
