Toughest World Cup group?

A lot of World Cup fans--especially those stateside--think Group E with the US, Italy, Czech Republic, and Ghana might be the toughest group. The conventional wisdom goes that if the US can actually get out of the first round they might have a very good shot to advance deep into the 2006 World Cup.

But there is an argument to be made for Group C which boasts two title contenders in Argentina and the Netherlands and upstarts Ivory Coast and Serbia-Montenegro. Let's not forget that the lattter was ranked AHEAD of Spain in the European qualifier and that Ivory Coast manhandled Cameroon--which might just be the best team in Africa.

But tell us what YOU THINK is the gnarliest group in the World Cup!

No olympic soccer?

Unless FIFA revisits its anti-doping rules there may be no soccer at the Olympics. The IOC requires all Olympic sports to conform to the World Anti-Doping Code(WADC) which mandates that a two-year minimum ban be applied to all doping offenses. FIFA prefers to mete out punishment on a case-by-case basis. ESPN has the story.
