Bird flu will not halt World Cup says FIFA's Grondona - but that's not quite official.
Grandona On Bird Flu Stopping World Cup"Everything's been sold, the World Cup can't be suspended," Grondona, president of the Argentine Football Association, told the local radio station
Mitre during an interview.
"I was in Zurich last week and I didn't see anywhere that chicken was not being sold or not being eaten. I think it's something that's not an issue yet."
"It's got to be something of great magnitude at all levels for measures to be taken to suspend a World Cup," Grondona said.
"I got back (to Buenos Aires) last Friday from my last meeting at
FIFA - Nothing was said and no-one was alarmed."

I do hope that the
Bird Flu does not get to the point it becomes serious enough to stop the World Cup finals in Germany. If the World Cup is stopped in it's tracks, that means bird flu (Avian Influenza A - H5N1) has found a way to mutate with human flu. Not good.

I would imagine that it (bird flu), would have to get pretty bad pretty fast to stop the World Cup.
I agree with the human to human statement, if that happens a whole lot of things are going to get canceled. And most of teh smaller economies will collapse,
