As fun as the first one looks, I think I might rather play in the second one.

Love it. Can't wait. Leaving work early for some games.

Taking days off work and heading to the pub

This is my plan. Half day to watch the first game at the pub with friends, going to a party for the second game, hitting the third game again at the pub with the group. I do have a 3 pm central conference call after the Germany game so I'm going to have to stay relatively sober during that one.

Here's my ditch schedule for the group stage:6/13 - Spain v. Netherlands

6/16 - Germany v Portugal

6/17 - Brazil v Mexico

6/20 - All day

6/24 - All day

6/26 - All day

Dammit. Just found out I have to give a presentation that's 90 minutes away on the morning of US/Germany. I'm pretty sure I can weasel may way to the front of the agenda, do my part and then make tracks back to Austin to meet the guys at the pub.

That better be an early meeting.

These poll results must be like a hot needle in the eye to the bashers (not to the people who just don't like the sport, I mean the people who seem almost angry that the sport continues to thrive).

This poll in 2006 would have been inverted from what it shows today.

Why would I care if you like it?

I have no idea.

People who bash things because they can't understand why others enjoy it is beyond me. If you have never bashed the sport before good for you.

Nothing wrong with not liking a sport. You could put up a poll about any sport here and not find complete agreement.

You shouldn't've cut off the rest of Servo's quote, where he says he doesn't like being treated like a Luddite because he doesn't like soccer. Defensiveness is progress of a sort, kinda the next stage after sneering dismissiveness, which is mostly what we've dealt with over the years.
