WORLD
CUP SOCCER:
Bolt-cutter needed for Costa
Rica arrival
A security gate at Frankfurt
airport had to be cut open with
a bolt-cutter on Thursday for a
bus picking up Costa Rica's
World Cup team from their plane.
The airport, the largest in
continental Europe, has set up a
special World Cup terminal for
arriving teams that is designed
to allow the team bus to be
parked near the plane.
According to Germany's SID
sports news agency, the Costa
Ricans were formally welcomed by
officials from Walldorf, a town
near Heidelberg, where the Costa
Rican national team is based for
the tournament.
Costa Rica plays Germany in the
opening match of the World Cup
on June 9 in Munich.
Ecuador and Poland are also in
Group A.
