What bugs me, in this age of global travel, is that we still have the local qualifying groups. Then, Holland fail to qualify, but Saudi Arabia, or some other duff nation do. If it's about bringing exposure to the minnows, wouldn't the qualifying group do that too? 4 from CONCACAF? What a joke!

Classic! Tony (with apologies to 9/10ths of the world who won't know what it's all about)
True, a writer, a composer, two scientific explorers and a painter.... the names ring a bell and they're all Norwegian, obviously, but I can't think of a connection to soccer for any of them. Can't link them David, Goy nor you either, so yup: I haven't got a clue what this is about. Jan./ nice to be in line with 9/10ths of the population for once. =--- "Pay attention when I'm talking to you boy!" -Foghorn Leghorn. "Tony Whitley" wrote...

Bjorn Minge? I know (trust me on this one) that norwegian names tend to get butchered abroad, but how do you get from Bj�rge Lillelien to Bjorn Minge? -- -asbjxrn
