Hosham, the young goalie of Jamayla?s soccer team, reaches desperately and successfully blocks an attempt for a goal by the opposing team during a Habbaniyah soccer league game here recently. The players in the league come from the surrounding area. The only requirement to join the team is a proven success, said Kemal Musceff, a 26 year-old center fielder for the Jimaylan football team. Just a year ago this game would have been anything from ordinary in this small corner of the world called Anbar, Iraq, which was once the hiding place and terror grounds of an insurgency. Now, this area is a shining example for the rest of Iraq, and the soccer game is just an Iraqi way to blow off steam after a hard days work.
