England, Holland Drawn in Same Qualifying Group
England and the Netherlands, the countries with the worst hooligan problems, were drawn into the same group Sunday at Madison Square Garden, where the qualifying groups draw for the 1994 World Cup finals were held.
The same two countries were drawn in the same group in both the 1988 European championship finals in Germany and the 1990 World Cup finals in Italy, prompting massive security operations to control fan violence.
A record 141 countries went into the draw to produce 22 finalists to join defending champion Germany and host United States in the finals.
