you'd have to guess, that if there ever was an event to suicide bomb, the US and England in the world cup, is a tempting target. and remember that poor serbian tennis player that got stabbed (was she serbian? i think she was. . . ).
I'd say the likleyhood of an English football fan getting stabbed is even money though.
Look today s woman players: Ana Ivanovic and Jelena Jankovic ( so young but so good 🙂
Speaking about english football fans and knives..etc: Everyday you can see the same situation here. 13-14 y.old youngmen are doing that – its so overwhelming.
They are just kids………”kids” ??!!!
But we are not here to talking about that terrible things – think about football and only football and yes…Alexis Amore 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

I mean this with respect, but I think that any group with your country in it is automatically disqualified from being called the "Group Of Death". The US group, Group E - now that's a Group of Death. One of teh top 12 teams in the world won't even reach the Round of 16.

More of that in the next few weeks and they'll struggle.
Originally posted by rhbThe swiss have a tough team, they're no push overs. Haven't seen the match, but looking at their squad I still fancy their chances against the US. I don't think they can win the World Cup, but we're just talking about the group stage here.

As for the Czechs, they have a solid team all around. Best team in Euro-2004 along with Portugal (bias alert).
