It became not festival but tragedy.

In Asia Cup of football, Iraq national team won Vietnam, and they could go the next stage, semi-final.
On 21st when Iraq national team won the quarter-final, Iraqi people was so happy, so surprised, and so excited, so some of them shot salute guns for the sky with automatic rifle. Then, the stray bullets hit people, and 3 people died by it and more than 50 people wounded.
In Iraq, deterioration of society is getting worse and worse, but what the Iraq national team has been winning in Asia Cup is a chance that people can cheer as one, be exicited, and be happy. There are little chances in Iraq now. On the other hand, because of deterioration of society, rifles and other arms are flooding in Iraq. So, the combination of both caused this tragedy.
I love football. So, happening or tragedy like this concerned with football makes me sad. Football and other sports can make people one, beyond the frame of many races. Sports are wonderful and beautiful thing which can fascinate, exite, and interest people. So, it is the reverse. I'm so sad.
