Answer 1

The Group of the zimmer frames and viagra!

Answer 2

From Wikiepdia...



"one or more of the underdog teams plays the kind of football that may shock a better team

The key element is that any team could plausibly qualify and any could plausibly be eliminated. It is, in other words, the most unpredictable group of the tournament.



Typically, a Group of Death will see an unusual match-up of heavyweight sides, due to a quirk in the seeding system"



no one predicted the kind of results evident in that group at this point and second place advancement is up for grabs.



you know Italy should be @ 3 points right now.

Answer 3

Not for Netherlands; theirs is a confidence that transcends any label or hype. They are daring, very today, unlike old French, old Italy relying on their traditional 'strengths'. What's Benzema doing on the bench? Where are the Italian youngsters? To those unwilling to to be daring, it is really the Group of Death.

Answer 4

yes it is-when the Dutch lie down next week and let Romania win to put both France and Italy out Vlad the Impaler will enter the pitch, smoke some Amsterdam weed and kill Donadoni and Domenech on the halfway line....

Answer 5
