Today, Iraq crowned their first ever title of Asian cup in a game versus Saudi Arabia. In my opinion the significant of wealthy versus poor is not that important here which many will pay attention to! (Saudis spending millions on their team and coaches and Iraqis didn't spend so much, which I think is not so true since they had a coach from Brazil)
what I feel is important here, is the fact of somebody having a peace of mind, not being afraid of going out of the hotel talking to people and being suspended because of talking to a women or perhaps going to co-ed swimming pool (which Iranian players were kept in their room for that purpose), make a big difference and makes you to work harder and concentrate better. As a result, they got the title. Of course there are many other facts helps them to do so but in my humble opinion the peace of mind was the most important one!
Iraqis despite so much hardship they are having with respect to the security as we have seen on TV and news, they simply out performed every team in Asia and in my opinion their peace of mind was the best gift they are given to achieve this goal.
