The Syrian national football team is a microcosm of the country itself, with some players supporting the government, and others favoring opposition forces. The team played a crucial match on Thursday against Australia that could see the war-torn country go all the way to the 2018 World Cup finals and the team's heroic exploits are helping to bring a divided country closer together. With the Syrian national football team now just one win away from qualifying for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, the whole country has been gripped by football fever.
