AFP reports today that British Royal Marines engaged a group of Iraqi locals in an impromptu soccer match somewhere in southern Iraq. The Iraqis won 7-3.
According to Airman Dave Husbands, "The boys thought they must be the Iraqi international side or something. In truth, they thrashed us." Undeterred, unit commander Lt. Colonel Buster Howes says he wants a rematch.
