...foot has been upstaged lately by the inflamed left thigh of Zinedine Zidane. His torn leg muscle, an injury incurred during a friendly against co-hosts South Korea, means the French superstar will sit out his country's first two games. He joins a pre-Cup E.R. crowded with fallen warriors, including Germany's Michael Ballack, Italy's Filippo Inzaghi, and England's David Seaman and Kieron Dyer.

Capital of the north and key to the area's agricultural, oil and gas wealth, the city once dominated by Dostum has fallen increasingly under Jamiat's sway. Failure to control Mazar has dented Dostum both politically and economically...
