Some bad mouth would say "You can do it in HTML5", but I guess it's flash because it's called World cup, not Apple cup. (oops)

I think I would be able to make it work in IE6 with css and a bit of javascript.

I'd like to see you make it all work like that and with fonts in, not all images ;-)

SVG and JavaScript (using something like jQuery SVG) might not be too bad.

The text in the example isn't selectable, searchable, SEO-able, cut'n'pastable and probably isn't accessible, so why would images of text be worse?

I don't think it's about cut'n'paste or SEO but about file size and flexibility.

Helps me take a hi resolution print-out without worrying about unreadable text.

The images pixelate even in full screen mode, it's hardly designed for high rez print-outs. Quite hard to print with the hover effect.
