Poor guy. Now he'll always be remembered as a hot-head (which he
certainly was) more than as one of the great players to ever lace up a
pair of boots.

And I *hate* Les Blues, the New York Yankees of football (I hate
Brazil too, even if I love to watch them play, cheeky bastards).

It is better when recounted at a pub, where I can illustrate by waving
my pint around and sloshing beer everywhere. ;)

Agreed. Hi-Def makes American football quite the multi-media experience, too.

The Japanese sports broadcasts are of pretty high quality, at least
the baseball and (soccer) football ones that I watch. Nice picture,
good announcing. But I guess I see what you mean about the American
camera work; you get much nicer and tighter angles on an American
production.
