Football across Europe

Photographer Hans van der Meer has taken photographs of football matches all over Europe. Not professional matches in modern stadia: instead, he’s gone looking for amateur matches in small villages and towns all across the continent. Some very nice photos, even if the Flash-based interface makes it more difficult than it needs to be to point out favourites.

Incidentally, if you view the image of a match in Porto (it’s the seventh in the sequence of football-related images), look closely at the player in the foreground: how many legs does he have? (I realise it’s actually two players, but where’s the other guy’s torso?)
