Palestine vs Iraq

Ben Anderson travels to the Middle East to highlight the unenviable predicament of the Palestinian football squad, as they look to qualify for the 2006 World Cup. The war-torn country's involvement in the sport faces a bleak future as pitches are bombed on a daily basis, and team members are unable to train together due to travel restrictions - so organisers must even resort to advertising on the Internet to recruit players.
