The dreaded Group of Death is slated to begin matches today. Let’s take an inside look at some of the key members of each teams squads:
Jason Voorhies, Ivory Coast - this striker has a knack for slashing though opposing defenses and has a storied career dating back to the early 80’s. Came out of retirement last year to reboot his flagging career, he reportedly kept in shape by practicing with (or on) youths at remote lakefronts. Started career as a hockey goalie, and sensitivity about overbite led him to bring mask with him when he changed sports
Fun Fact – terrible swimmer
Pinhead, Portugal – though considered an excellent dribbler, can be a liability to his squad when called upon to hit headers.
Fun Fact – had an uncle on the 1966 Hell team
Grim Reaper, Brazil - Known by the moniker “Scorer of Goals, Harvester of Souls”, Mr. Reaper ,as he is commonly known, is considered to be the most difficult to vanquish opponent. Indeed, every team that has taken him on has bowed to him in the end.
Fun Fact – was outwitted by a Swedish opponent in the 1954 World Cup of Chess
Entire Team, North Korea – this whole nation can be considered a group of death
Fun Fact: fun has not been had in North Korea for seven decades
