World Cup Death Toll Update #3 - 12 and Counting
The body count is rising fast. So far, 9 murders, 2 heart-attacks and a suicide, bringing the known total to 12.
1. Two armed gangs clashed over control of a generator to see the World Cup, leaving six people dead, sources close to the United Nations mission in Haiti said last week.
The UN Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) of Haiti plans to distribute battery-powered televisions, footballs and Haitian flags during the World Cup, which opened Friday in Germany.
Who says the UN has outlived it's usefulness.
2. Two football fans collapsed and died in their homes in South Trinidad on Saturday while watching the Soca Warriors make their World Cup debut in Germany, police reports said yesterday.
Acting Assistant Superintendent of Police, Ronald John, of Point Fortin; and accountant and preacher Vishnu Lall, of Palmiste, near San Fernando, were both pronounced dead at hospital, police reports indicated. Both men are suspected to have succumbed to heart failure, investigators said.
3. A Scot has died in England after being stabbed in a row over football. Robert Whiteford - known as Rab C because of his Glaswegian accent - died after a fight on Friday, hours before England kicked off their World Cup campaign.
4. It can be suicidal to place your bets on teams in the World Cup, as an Ecuadorean fan demonstrated after he predicted Poland would defeat his countrymen. He killed himself.
And this is just plain wrong...
Churchgoers in Germany and other parts of the world have enticed their followers to watch matches on giant plasma screens within the sacred walls of their worshipping houses.

I see nothing wrong if a church wants to open its doors for a WC party.
