I could not get good sleep the past few days, I was restless even during the day, my mind was working over time, trying to figure out, ..... "who was the first person to come with the term Group of Death?"

From Wiki.

"The term was coined (in Spanish as el grupo de la muerte) by the Uruguay manager Omar Borrás at the 1986 FIFA World Cup to describe Group E, which included West Germany, Denmark, Scotland and Uruguay. This was the only group where all of its teams came from the traditionally strong regions of Europe and South America. The term is also used retroactively in historical contexts (i.e. for tournaments that precede 1986)."

Ah Omar, I should have known. Now I can sleep better.

TOKYO (Reuters) - A Japanese man was arrested for calling a food company's toll-free number 500 times in 16 months because he wanted to hear the woman's voice on the automated tape, police said on Monday.

The 38-year-old plumber, who was arrested on Sunday, made 3,100 hours worth of free calls to the company, costing it almost 4 million yen ($38,730) in phone bills, a police spokesman in Takasaki, northwest of Tokyo, said.

"He gets excited by the woman's voice on the guidance tape," the spokesman said, adding that the voice sounded normal to the detective who was involved in the investigation.

The food company asked for its name to be withheld. The spokesman said police are investigating if the man placed an excessive number of calls to any other firms.
