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.

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.

1: It's FOOTBALL. 2: The best games, ever, were those where we got caked in sticky mud or a freezing wet day on Hackney Marches or the Hampstead extension. The facilities were mostly old horse troughs filled with freezing filthy water. You could still do sliding tackles and bone crunchers. Ah, those were the days when you could take someone out. Memories.

Yeah, exactly, memories. Now it is a bunch of overpaid poofters crying foul when their coiffed hair is misplaced by a breeze.

Prolly because you called it soccer rather than football. Because as the picture clearly illustrates only the "foot" is involved in the game. :rolleyes:
LOL. In this case the foot isn't even involved. More a case of hand-ripping-jersey off.

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. I mean, in the U.S./Canada they use the word "football" for a game played mostly by using hands to carry/throw a thing that looks like a small zeppelin or an ostrich egg. Why don't they call it "handzeppelin" or something like that? ;P

The same way Rugby is also called football.

Mostly, when you see programmers, they aren't doing anything. One of the attractive things about programmers is that you cannot tell whether or not they are working simply by looking at them. Very often they're sitting there seemingly drinking coffee and gossiping, or just staring into space. What the programmer is trying to do is get a handle on all the individual and unrelated ideas that are scampering around in his head. (Charles M Strauss)
