FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup

I don't know how I missed this...Brazil beat Uraguay in the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup in November. I don't know anything about beach soccer, but it appears that: 1) it is played on the beach, and 2) players are barefoot.

Iraqi National Team

The Iraqi National Team made it to the finals of the Asian Games, but lost to Qatar, 0-1. There are 6 guys on the team whose first or last name is Mohamed (or Mohammed, or Mohammad, or Mohemed) and 5 guys named Ali. There's even a guy named Ali Mohamed. Think about that when you get confused because your team has a couple of Hannahs or Dakotas.
