A new one takes his place.

I see 2+2 is going to add a sports forum, among others. My question is when are they going to add a Euro forum so we North Americans don't have to be bothered with these boring "Football" related posts.

Meh. This matters to us about as much as OJ mattered to you. I'm sure it's a big deal over there, but here it's "Who's George Best?"

Re: Just as one legend gets cleared of paedophilia..........
 

Wow. George Best is huge.

It's a 34 year old though, slightly different.

Actually the OJ trial was very very big over here. Not sure exactly why, seeing as most people would have had no idea who he was before he was arrested. I remember seeing the verdict live on TV and then going to synagogue for Yom Kippur and everyone was talking about the verdict.

Football legend George Best has been arrested and bailed on suspicion of indecently assaulting a young girl.

The former Manchester United and Northern Ireland star, 59, is alleged to have attacked the girl, who is aged under 13, last month in Surrey.

Wow, that's actually fascinating to me. I have no idea why it would be big there. In fact, I remember hearing Robert Shapiro on tv today talking about how little international interest there was in the OJ case. Maybe he was just jaded since he was a part of the case, and the MJ case had all kinds of international attention.
