Det här citatet från ett argentinskt nyhetsmedia tycker jag beskriver "Dödens grupp" väldigt bra. De två lag som tog sig vidare beskrivs som "överlevande" inte som vinnare. En bra spegling av vad gruppen innebar faktiskt.
"Argentina's woes came partly from its placement in the "Group of Death," so dubbed because it included highly regarded England and the Argentines in addition to Sweden and Nigeria, neither a pushover. Only two teams from each group can advance to the next round, and Sweden and England ended up the survivors."
