Cosmological problem

Some big telescopes (and some bigger to come) claim to see so far back
in time that they are actually witnissing events shortly after the big
bang. Hypothetically one could thus see the big bang itself.
Now imagine one telescope looking north and seeing this far back.
Imagine a second one looking south in the same time: he also looks
this far back.
The events both see are one and the same, but are seen at locations as
far apart as possible.
Doesn't sound logical to me.
I read this article : "Space seen as finite, shaped like a soccerball"
( http://www.space.com/scienceastronom...er_031008.html ),
that provides a possible solution. But how does traditional cosmology
explain this?
