I don't know why people don't understand it. It is about conducing a real ball (a sphere like in every other sport) using mostly the foot.
Since you can use other parts of your body, shouldn't it be called "no-hands ball?" I think Soccer is a training ground for American place kickers. :laugh:

A 1 because you love soccer/futbal and I'm dissing it or a 1 because you hate soccer and I'm posting about it? Just curious.

Paul, I am sure it's some guy with a cheap point and shoot camera who must have become totally disillusioned with life when he saw that truly awesome photograph. I wish I had that sort of camera/lens combo :cool:

Judging by the guys lined up at these games I'd say a Canon 600mm f/4L at $6000 a pop. Might have been a lucky side-line shot with a 70-200mm though... hard to tell where the photo was taken from. Line on the pitch would suggest from either end of the pitch rather than the side-lines, but it may be the penalty box line. Either way, yeah, nice lens.

600mm? Pah! Get one of these[^]
After I win five or six lotteries, I might invest in one of these beauties; the spec sheet will make any dilettante-or-better photographer drool. You don't see them on eBay every day... :-)

Bah, everything is on everything else's list in Columbia! (note every_thing_ rather than every_one_ because from what I hear, rats, trees, coconuts and even stones walk around armed to the teeth and carrying continental grudges) IIRC Cameroon had that problem once when a player scored an own goal.
