World Soccer News For week of 05/20 FIFA threatens to expel Bosnia and Poland from World Cup The international football governing body has threatened Bosnia and Herzegovina and Poland with the expulsion from the current World Cup qualifiers because of their fans' ill conduct. FIFA has fined Bosnia with 45,000 USD and Poland with half as much, saying it has no intentions to tolerate hooliganism. Next time, the football bosses warn, both teams will have points deducted or will be immediately disqualified.

The final day of the season is almost upon us and for many players and managers it will merely be a prelude to a more significant event, such as a cup final or a summer holiday. However for those involved at Newcastle United, Hull City and Sunderland it could represent the most important moment of their careers. Inevitably, this contrast in attitudes causes significant problems. Almost every season a relegated side complains about a supposed lack of effort from a team they had hoped would do them a favour. Yet there are two sides to every story and how can Manchester United possibly justify fielding a full strength side against Hull, with a Champions League final to play just 3 days later?
