An Iraqi member of the Multaka soccer team gets ready to pass the ball to a teammate during a match against Soldiers of 1st Battalion, 87th Infantry Regiment in northeastern Iraq. The Soldiers lost to the Iraqi team, 8-0. This is the third match of a five-game series. This will be the third loss for the Task Force Summit Soldiers, but they are gaining friends amongst the Iraqi populace. "This is the first time I have seen Soldiers without their uniforms," Sufian Ali, 20, said. "We welcome them as friends, but we play better soccer than they do." Ali scored four of the eight goals for his team.
