In this section, especially, characters for the squads' players' names,
beyond the basic set in Arial font, are used as available.
For example, for Romance language names, all needed characters are available,
whereas for Slavic language names, approximately only half of the
characters required are available. In these and similar cases, therefore,
the spelling of players' names is as accurate as the character set allows it.
Should you happen to spot the need for whatever update⁄correction in this Section,
(or elsewhere, in this eBook), a brief note 
from you on it will bevery much appreciated!
Abbreviations, above: used by FIFA, as well as in this eBook.
Numbers 1-4, above, correspond to the numbering used for the Groups drawing,
in Leipzig (2005), number one being the seed.squad, in each Group.
