Group of Death - explained

Thank you Wikipedia for explaining to me why Group C (Holland, Argentina, Ivory Coast, Serbia & Montenegro) was called the Group of Death. Here I was thinking it had to do with politics and history and not the fact that they are in a situation "where all the teams present in one group are considered to be roughly equal in skill, or one or more of the 'underdog' teams could prove to
be a 'banana skin' for the favourite (or favourites) to proceed. Thus, due to the small difference in quality between the members, any team could plausibly qualify and any could plausibly be eliminated. It is, in other words, the most unpredictable group of the tournament."

On the subject of death - There is a really great article, written by a myster writer,  in the July/August Atlantic about "The Monster of Florence" a series of unsolved murders in the hills of Florence spanning from 1964 to the present day.
