The goal is not to take great pictures at the world cup, it is to take great pictures with a 7D2 at the world cup.
Of course. How many of those people do you think there are? Very, very few. Getting accreditation for these things is very tough, I know I have to go through the process a lot, but I have never, ever, met someone "working" for Canon. The next event I am at Canon will be there, they have already been informed I will be there (along with hundreds presumably of other CPS/media members) but I am not paid by them, nor will I use something that does not meet my needs.
Oh come on, if Canon want someone shooting something at the World Cup they will NO problem whatsoever getting that person accreditation. There is one heck of a difference between Canon going for accreditations for people than you or whatever little media you work for trying to get accredited.
