12 deaths reported in Bangladesh during FIFA World Cup month
Bangladesh, a nation that has never reached the FIFA World Cup, has seen 12 deaths over the past month as excitement for the tournament peaked. The fatalities are tied to football-related festivities, including violent fan brawls, stabbings, suspected lynchings, and accidental deaths. The wife of a man who was reportedly killed during Tuesday's Argentina-Egypt match questioned the violence, asking, "How can people kill someone over a football match?"
