Obligatory post on the World Cup

Well, I do have to say something about the World Cup, right?

I can't do better than linking to this wonderful collection of links to articles on the science of football, compiled by the friendly folks at New Scientist.

Also, do take a look at this NYTimes article about the major new innovation in this edition of the 'Cup: the ball is "rounder than any of its predecessors".

Thanks to Political Theory Daily Review for the pointers.

    the ball is "rounder than any of its predecessors".

    LOL! Reminds me of NAD27 and NAD83.
