oh, geeze, Reuters

The headline reads: Bomb kills six after Iraq Cup victory

Oh, geeze, I think. Now they're blowing people up over soccer. Or worse, over bonding over soccer.

And then I read the actual lede:
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A car bomb killed six people in central Baghdad on Monday, police said, the first bombing in the capital since Iraq's soccer win in the Asian Cup brought a brief respite in the violence ravaging the country.
Oh, geeze, Reuters.

Yes, technically, "after" is just expressing a temporal relationship. But you know that causal is implied, and will in fact be the first relationship assumed.
