PS: Not much to be expected from the not so mighty Germans this time,
I'm afraid so let's see if your brethren can upset them, too?

Personally I wish the lying, cheating scumbag all the worst, especially

True justice would see his team lose to a blatant foul that somehow
escaped the notice of the referees (which, given the quality of some
of the decisions we've seen recently doesn't seem totally impossible).


Oh, you mean like what was perpetrated on the U.S. in yesterdays game

Re: OT: Oz going to World Cup 2006

[graywolf]

For some reason you remind me of a story by an author (whose name I can 
not think of right now) who wrote westerns based loosely upon stories 
his granddad used to tell him when he was growing up in Wyoming. They 
were more true to life than most westerns.


Anyway in this story one of the cowboys went east to visit reletives or 
something and they took him to a college football game (this was long 
before pro football). He came back to the ranch all excited about 
football and eventually got two teams together so they could play. They 
were not exactly sure of the rules, so the worked them out together. It 
was decided that knives, sixguns and winchesters were okay, but sawed 
off shotguns were ruled out.


Must have been a rough game.

OT: Oz going to World Cup 2006

[David Savage]

Apologies for the very off topic post.

Australia defeated Uruguay 4-2 in a penalty shootout, after the game
finished 1-1 on aggregate after extra time. This won't mean much to
people who don't follow football, or live in countries that always
make it in. But this is the first time in 32 years, so it's a pretty
big deal here.

Dutch coach Guus Hiddink has done wonders with the team since July.

This can only help to raise the profile of the game in this country.

Don't be too sad, Henri.  The Finns played a great game.  Ruutu was poetry
in motion.  It was one of the best hockey games I've ever seen, with both
teams trying hard, no fighting (call me a wuss, I don't care), and only 2
penalties.  Your team proved it belonged ahead of all the other contenders,
except Canada, of course.

RE: OT - Rugby World Cup

[Steve Desjardins]

Rugby is popular at many US colleges as a club sport.  There's a lot of
"Give blood, play Rugby" shirts around our campus.  Real American foot
ball is dmagerous, requires a lot of equipment and a lot of people. 
Even though there are many "low cost"alternatives (flag football) rugby
serves as the version "regular guys" can play.  OTOH, I will
periodically see some evil-looking facial injuries and its inevtiably

Re: OT - Rugby World Cup

Much like the World Cup for soccer, I believe there were qualifying matches
all over the world leading up to the "finals" held in Australia.
Surprisingly, the American team made it into the finals (20 teams).  anybody
here in the US even know that the Rugby world cup was going on; or even that
we had a team to support?  Didn't think so.

Who was in Oz when the world cup started and only then realized that there
was an American team.

Re: OT - Rugby World Cup

[Anthony Farr]

Twenty nations qualified for the final series:

Argentina
Australia
Canada
England
Fiji
France
Georgia (the state of the former Soviet Union, not the one in USA)
Ireland
Italy
Japan
Namibia
New Zealand
Romania
Samoa
Scotland
South Africa
Tonga
Uraguay
USA
Wales.

Even more nations are members of the International Rugby Union, and have
contested previous RWC final series.

It's the world's second most popular football code, after football (called
soccer in some countries) itself.

American Football is an "also ran" in the rank of world footballs, ranking
behind football (soccer), Rugby and Rugby League (an offshoot of Rugby)
based on the number of participating nations (but almost certainly ahead of
Rugby League on number of fans).  It would lead Australian Football on fan
numbers but would be about par with it in terms of worldwide awareness and
popularity.  Gaelic Football is somewhere behind. Minor football codes
played in only one location, such as the games played by teams in medieval
costumes at Italian festivals, and the mass scrums played between English
villages once a year, would rank last but always seem to get onto TV news
nevertheless.  My apologies to fans of football codes that I've neglected.

Re[3]: OT World Cup Offer

[Albano_Garcia]

Hi, Bob.
Yes, these two extremes I suppose are a good definition of my country, and
a good explanation of why we are as we are in this moment (destroyed).
The cause of our doom is our damned "viveza criolla", something a bit
untraslatable, something like "argentine evil-smart-mind", looking always
for a shortcut, a leeway, an advantage.

Both articles are very good, but the Observer's one is absolutely great and
super accurate (except for the 5 o clock tea).

Hi Albano,
over here we admire the 2nd goal tremendously. Every time the 'hamd of
God' goal is shown, so is the sublime goal (and vice versa). We find it
difficult to see how 2 extremes could co-exist in one man, and be revealed
in the same match. One of the joys of English football, though, is that
Owen's goal against Argentina in France was almost as good as
Maradona's against us!
For people who don't understand the nature of the England-Argentina
fixture, here are some interesting links discussing its history.

Re: OT World Cup Offer

[Lasse Karlsson]

I simply can't stay away from this OT thread.

As I write this the England and Swedish teams shake hands before their
game starts. This is the first big moment in the World Cup for these
two countries. Very quiet and peaceful outside this beautiful sunny
day.
England has not beaten Sweden in 30 years.

The odd part is that the England team is managed by the Swede Svennis
Eriksson, now trying to beat his own country and fellow fotballers.

More than a thousand years ago the English fell victims to the Viking
conquest. Let's see what they can do today.

(Boy, is this a party for an ex-fotballer.)

By the way, only twice did I shoot a football game.
A lot of waiting for sudden actions that lead to nothing... Lot's of
frames wasted, unless someone else pays for the film and
developement...

I had thought the name football was applied originally to seperate the games between 
those,
like hockey, that were traditionally played on horse back. Soccer(football) rules 
originally
inluded handling of the ball, but not running with it. Later this rule was removed and 
a 
specialised player put in the goal who could handle the ball.

Many football codes were shunned in the 1850-80s because it pulled people away from 
more
military style sports such as archery etc.

I imagine the game today bears little resemblance to its origin.

Australia alas, shall not be there again. Football(Soccer) has not had as big an impact
here in as in other countries.

Such is life.

Re: OT World Cup Offer

[Anthony Farr]

If only that were true :/

Perhaps the other regions get 4 - 6 teams into the finals, but poor Oceana
not only got only one qualifier, but that side ~then~ had to play off
against South America's highest non-qualifier which was Argentina.  So
Argentina whips Maradona into shape, he boosts the side to victory over
Australia, but soon after he is found to be (once again) full of "Bolivian
Marching Powder" (a known stimulant and performance enhancing drug) and is
(once again) booted out of the game.  Me, bitter?  No comment :/

Oceana has only twice AFAIK been represented in the World Cup, by Australia
in '74 and New Zealand sometime after that.  Every other time the rightful
qualifying nation was eliminated by another region's second chance side.
And every time this manipulation of the finals was nothing but a cynical
ploy to get a bigger audience from a region where soccer is the number one
game.

Word Cup?  Perhaps FIFA's Old Boys' Club Cup would be a better name.
Fortunately FIFA has promised to end this manipulation of the finals.  We
will see.

Regards,
Anthony Farr

Re: Contact Sheets of Great Photographers (WAS: OT World Cup Offer)

[Bob Walkden]

Hi,

well, there is a series of videos and DVDs published by the Centre
Nationale de la Photographie in Paris* called 'Contacts' which is
exactly what you're looking for. But if you can get past the first page
of their god-awful website (http://www.cnp-photographie.com/) then you're
a better surfer than I am.

Before you place your order remember that France has SECAM TVs.

Re: OT World Cup Offer

The world cup is the true world sport competition: soccer.
Some obscure sport No, about 5.5 million people in the
world loves it. Just the 0.5 million remaining north Americans
and some crazy people don't know anything about it.

To be true what is going to start this weekend are the finals.
The world cup started last year with almost 200 national teams.
They played against each other in regional groups
(one for south america, europe, north america, africa, asia and
oceania). 4-6 teams from each group qualified to the finals that
start this weekend. In the total there are 32 teams in the finals
and everybody call this the World Cup. This year World Cup
happens in Korea and Japan. This event is seem for almost the
entire planet but the Americans.

... and, the best team is Brazil ...

Contact Sheets of Great Photographers (WAS: OT World Cup Offer)

I'd like to see a book of just well printed contact sheets.  Imagine
what could be learned by looking at several months worth contact sheets
by some of the great photographers.  Erwitt has some sheets, or portions
of sheets, in the Masters of Contemporary Photography series, which show
how he marked the frames for printing as well as the final print.  Very
helpful.  There are some contact sheet sequences in a couple of WES
books, which are also very useful and revealing.

The most emabarrassing part is the gobs of money
involved.  Like a few million bucks to air a
one-minute commercial during the Superbowl. 
Everything is so overhyped.  Example: Emmitt Smith of
the Dallas Cowboys writes a gung-ho letter to his
teammates, something like a preseason pep talk, and it
makes the front cover of the Sports section in my city
paper.  Whatever!  I'm not even in Dallas.

Have you ever watched an NFL-Europe game?  Talk about
bizzare.  The one I saw was Rhine vs. Berlin or
Stuttgart (sp?) so everyone in the stands is German. 
The game is called in German at the stadium but the
broadcast is done in English.  All the players are
Americanc and you get the impression that they're the
only Americans in town.  

The only German player I noticed was the kicker for
Rhine (I think it was Rhine.)  Don't remember his
name, but he was a RETIRED soccer player.  The guy was
playing in title matches probably before a lot of his
teammates could walk.  Now he's enjoying life after
soccer as a good place kicker.  What's that tell you
about the toughness required to play American
football?

I wonder if it has to do with the possibility of real injury
being sustained by the players.
I have long though that NFL football is a pansy game.
Even CFL football is a tougher game.

Hi,

>(that's soccer, you guys)

Magnum have a new book out, published by Phaidon called "Magnum
Football" (that's "Magnum Soccer" in the USA). It's in the same format
as "Magnum Landscape".

Some people might describe it as a cynical plundering of their
archives to throw together a few 2nd rate photos to take advantage of
global frenzy over the 'beautiful game'. However, the book does
contain a lot of interesting and previously unpublished photos in their
own right. There are also some, notably by HC-B, which are from the same
contact sheet as his classics, which show more context, or give an
insight into what he was up to when he took the classics.
