...their football teams will duke it out in the Cup against Muslim countries such as Senegal and Saudi Arabia. Although each host country has pronounced itself ready for anything from bioterrorism to drunken Brits, the prospect of calamity lingers. "Our forces are trained for all kinds of attacks," says Kim Kwang Soo of Korea's National Police Agency Planning Group. To emphasize the point, Korean police have adopted the inspiring slogan "Orderly World Cup, Safe World...
