All:
FYI, in case you hadn't seen this earlier (see below). This is quite significant in that it's being broadcast in 58 countries around the world (Eurosport is much larger than ESPN and is seen in Europe, Australia, Asia, the Middle East and in Africa) in 11 languages -- and for Europe it's during prime time. If we're lucky some foosball techie will quickly figure out how to make some or all of this available for viewing (in English) from here in the USA during or immediately after the broadcasts elsewhere around the world, or at least get it up on YouTube.
Additional media coverage of the event is also noted below.
Very respectfully submitted,
Larry Davis, President
