                    [Summary] => The 2006 FIFA World Cup finally got underway in Munich, Germany last Friday with Germany beating Costa Rica, 4-2, and Ecuador sweeping Poland, 2- 0, before a crowd of 66,000.


Prior to the games, security was the major concern as nations mounted a truly global effort to counter threats of terrorism heightened by recent incidents in Iraq.

For the Germans, the 2006 World Cup is both a show of soccer prowess and economic power.
