For Americans Watching the World Cup...

[private joker]

Why do people put "show me the results" as a poll choice? It's retarded. The poll itself allows you the option of creating it so people can see results without voting. It's redundant, pointless, and distracting.

Because for some reason people don't look for the link to show results and click random responses anyway.

Retarded is that you actually find this "distracting" and then getting annoyed enough to make a post about it.

"show me the results" prevents people from looking at the results and then voting, which would have an influence on the way they vote.

Living in Canada, regular soccer coverage here is non-existant. So its not even possible to consider myself a soccer fan. However when the world cup comes around, you can feel the excitement, even in a country like Canada, where we have about 0 involvement in soccer. Its exciting to partake in something so internationally big.

I love watching the world cup, and I admittedly don't watch any other soccer.

I don't hate soccer or anything, though I am very annoyed by the soccer guy who yesterday tried to convince me it is a more physical sport than hockey.

He's right. You never see six hockey players per game carried off on a stretcher. That soccer must be one dangerous sport.

I haven't seen a stretcher get that much use since old-school WWWF wrestling.

No. "show me the results" insures that no one feels left out in said poll.

I think adding the show me results poll addition is worthless, because really does anyone actually care what the results of a poll are, like does op come back and check the results and think wow how interesting i've learnt alot from this poll I posted. No polls are gimicy and lame, they are just another internet time waster, along the same lines as most of the threads I start, or the posts I make here.

This is obviously true.

Contrast:

- Hockey players, who go down from Barney-hug-like "bodychecks" into the boards and then get right back up and keep playing

- Soccer players, who so obviously know how to strike exacting blows on precise pressure points, that when one is merely bumped he goes down like he was shot, then rolls around screaming in pain for three minutes, waits for the stretcher guys to come out, then gets back up and keeps playing.

Soccer players are so good at delivering deceptively non-injurious-looking blows that Onyewu can apparently cause grave bodily harm by merely rubbing up against a Ghanian in the penalty box.

To be able to catch such pinpoint fouls, FIFA has apparently hired off-duty NBA referees.
