Literally billions of people watch it. And of course it IS real football, given that we invented it long before the US game. It is also one of the main testing grounds for new camera equipment, and many of the greatest sports photographers are there. So it's actually fairly on-topic-ish. >Here's Dan Chung's Blog to provide a little evidence for my somewhat OTT claim: http://commentisfree.guardian.co.uk/danchung/index.html > >I'm sorry if it all offends your US-centric view of the world, but tough. ;) Nick, I am sorry to note that you missed the entire intent of my post, which was to suggest that if YOU guys are so damned insistent on discussing the World Cup, which of itself has nothing to do with the spirit of this List, then perhaps, the USians on this List ought to start presenting you with play-by-play accounts of the Baseball World Series or the like. Let us keep the World Cup discussions off the LUG. Let us get back to discussing photography and the use of Leicas to that end. Marc msmall@aya.yale.edu Cha robh b?s fir gun ghr?s fir!
