One point not mentioned is that half the Iraq team walked out when the mistake was made of playing the former national anthem (the one used under Sadam).
And it was an honest mistake, no harm done. The former national anthem is equally beautiful, written for Iraq AND the poet was also executed by Saddam.
The involved parties apologised, unfortunately I wasn't there at that instant - but the whole event was amazing!
