So one goal down, 27 to go. 

Personally, I don't know what would be so hard about the animated football bit. Seems like a no-brainer to me. The field surface idea (and roofs and shadows) is really simple to implement as well, since Bort has already proven the sim can distinguish between home/away teams...not really sure what the hold up would be on this one either. Would probably be WAY simpler than the different colored dots.
As to the guy that said, "Make moar graphics"...I'm currently working on a customizable GLB Ticker, kind of like an ESPN Bottom Line that gives you news, player updates, league updates, etc. Kinda ironing out how it would work exactly, but graphically I know what I want to do with it.
Personally, I don't think Bort would be doing all these updates with player dot colors if the replays were even close to being done in flash, so I think we are stuck in the pixelated dot world for quite a bit longer.
