With a cup of so many nations theres always bound to be a couple of countries facing each other which have historic reasons to hate eachother. The beauty of football is that very often everyone just gets together and enjoys it. Football has the power to bring people together. I think last world cup didn’t the USA play Iran?

Oddly enough, I was just reading about <a href="http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/11/27/africa/AF-GEN-Chad-Rebels.php" rel="nofollow">that today</a>; it's certainly an exceedingly complicated situation.

What Urs said, except there's some suggestion that the Armenians didn't want to play the tie either, but they took the better PR route by offering to host once it became clear that the Azeris would refuse to do so. There was a story about this in the WSC-before-last. Re: Armenia-Azerbaijan.

What's with the subdivided qualification groups? Also, this may not be politically grounded, but the Sweden-Denmark matches could get a leetle interesting -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXewqTwXBXc Turks and Caicos Islands

Pretty easy group the U.S. got, compared to Mexico, and their northern neighbours are also complaining about the FIFA rankings that lumped them in that group.
