Syrian soccer team and the Western Imperialists

Syria's heroic soccer team's stunning performances in their quest to qualify for FIFA' s world cup to be held in Russia in 2018 seems a slap on the face of the Western Imperialists hell bent to Balkanize Syria to achieve their neo-colonial agendas. These victories in the sports arena by the Syrians comes close on the heels of Syrian army's recent heroic victory in Deir ez-Zor against ISIS almost sealing off the West's sustained efforts to break Syria in to pieces.  Of course, Syrians would have never been able to achieve their military victories, If Russia and Iran didn't throw their lot behind with them with the much needed military, moral and political support.  The RT's this piece is well written mixing politics and sports.

RT sumps up the Syrian footballers' great feat in style in the following lines  

"In September 2017, against all the odds, the secular Syrian state survives, as a symbol of never, ever say-die resistance to the rapacious global hegemon. How appropriate it was that the Syrian football team's great result in Iran came in the same week as the Syrian Arab Army, along with its loyal allies, ended the ISIS siege of Deir ez-Zor".
