New Poll - FIFA World Cup 2010
Poll is perhaps a week late, but oh well. Suggested in part by our member MewMan. And yes, I realize that there's no option for "Don't Care" or "I Don't Know". Too bad
You can discuss this poll (or the whole tournament itself) here:
http://www.mangaupdates.com/showtopic.php?tid=18393
You can submit poll ideas here:
http://www.mangaupdates.com/showtopic.php?tid=3903
Question: What do you think about fan-colored pages included in scanlation releases?
Choices:
They're terrible! I can't stand interruptions - votes: 1900 (13.4%)
They get in the way, but it's no big deal - votes: 4520 (32%)
Makes no difference to me - votes: 3331 (23.6%)
I like them a little - votes: 2606 (18.4%)
They're great! I love to see them - votes: 1780 (12.6%)
There were 14137 total votes.
The poll ended: June 12th 2010

Game is on right now(I'm watching it). Can still win if we lose this game.

The cup that is..
» margiepeace08 on June 16th, 2010, 8:14pm
haha, we won't win the cup. actually, I hope we don't, since so few people care about soccer/football in the US--not enough people would notice that we even won for there to be any real excitement about it... I just feel that that would be boring somehow. And then there would be so many fans who really love their teams from other countries (since it is like the #1 sport everywhere else) who would be heartbroken. I'm glad our team is in it and doing quite well, so maybe some more Americans will become interested in it, but somehow I feel it wouldn't be fair if we won (which is highly unlikely anyway).

I'll vote when a few more games are in XD But woah! Doc, Tsu, Mai, Sooky, Miisa, and I were all over the USA vs England game XD Tsu will never forget the epic fail of the English Goalie!
» BaeSooky on June 12th, 2010, 1:42pm
LOL, yes, I think no one will forget that one. XD
<Doc> THAT WAS *BLEEPING* LUCKY o.o/
<Tsu> No, they deserved it.
<Tsu> Because that goalkeeper is a moron.

Being English... I was pratically facepalming at Green. We have the most awful goalkeepers. =_=
USA weren't anything amazing, but luck was certainly on their side. I was very dissapointed in England, and then again England players do play dirty - I find that they often reveal their new tricks throughout each of the games till finals.
I'm supporting Argentina, Germany and Portugal (maybe Holland). I dunno who will win but I doubt Spain will... I just have this gut feeling that Brazil/ Argentina or some other European country will prove the world wrong and kick Spain's ass. ;P

Why are there more votes or the US than for Germany?
Afterall they were third in the last worldcup and second 2002.
The US on the other hand...well you don't hear to much from them over hear in europe but that only serves to prove the point
BTW:Who voted for Japan?^^°The odds they are getting are about 200:1 xP

» ikuyoK on June 12th, 2010, 3:02pm
They've gotten further than the US....
I misread the poll as, "who do you want to win the world cup?" So maybe the others did too.. Cause I want the US to win.. But let's be serious here....................
But anyways.. I love Green now. US screwed up in the beginning.. again... But atleast they are in a semi easy block so they should still advance and finally get into the best of 16..

I Almost vote for Japan, although I'm Brazillian XD \o hauihauihaua
I'm kinda happy to see even in the mangaupdates poll Brazil rules (truth to be told, soccer is the only thing we're good at T_T )
But I like Japan and the japanese players ~>.<~ Shame on me! =D

Well I don't follow soccer... excuse me football so I have no idea who has the best odds of winning. I do hope that South Africa wins though. If not them USA (i suppose i should root for my home country) if not then. Let it be a free for all minus England cuz word is we are rivals because some upset over half a century ago. XD
though SJ's Victory Korea! is such a fun song.

You should do this poll again when it's near the end of the competition.
» ayumu on June 12th, 2010, 5:51pm
I'm disgusted at such a poll which has absolutely nothing to do with what mangaupdates is about.
» margiepeace08 on June 12th, 2010, 7:16pm
expand your horizons my son 
I'm kidding with you, but is there really that much to talk about on the subject of manga?

This is just a bunch of sweaty men running after a ball!
That this is so popular.... It's depressing.

» margiepeace08 on June 16th, 2010, 9:36am
lol yes
I like the unifying factor of the world cup, the spirit of it, it's quite fun to cheer on your team actually, with so many other people supporting them <3

weeelll maybe I should clarify, I live in the US and we don't really have that feeling here (at least for football/soccer) -.-
nobody cares about football/soccer here--they would rather watch American football (especially this) or baseball or basketball...... buuut I know that there's that feeling for other countries <3
So I root for other teams DX lol don't tell the US team

I mean seriously lol, you're being facetious right?
many polls don't have anything to do with manga.
Do you perhaps care about the NBA playoffs more than the World Cup? that's understandable Basketball is more fun too watch.

» faerygoddyss on June 12th, 2010, 8:04pm
I'm checking the invisible 'Don't Care' box. That gets my vote.
» Molenir on June 12th, 2010, 10:54pm
Yep, the Don't care category that wasn't included gets my vote as well.
» Kuro Kagami on June 12th, 2010, 10:55pm
They should have really implemented that option...
» mattai on June 14th, 2010, 1:24am

well but i dont really care who wins since chile wont win it anyways lol, thats a fact =P, and i dont really enjoy seen people kicking a ball at all =P, i prefer basketball games!
» Hainelol on June 13th, 2010, 3:09pm
I would love to see my country (Brazil) win. But I loved to watch Germany play today and I think Germany has good chances. I'll wait Netherlands and Spain play before deciding... They're also good...
» phae2y on June 13th, 2010, 4:28pm
Spain, Netherlands or Germany. Sorry but Brazil's squad isn't the best anymore and Messi just doesn't play as good as he did with Barca :/
» trunks84 on June 14th, 2010, 1:41am
Spain has the best squad this world cup, now we just have to wait if they'll deliver and win the world cup. And if you saw the first game of Argentina then you would have seen that Messi was playing incredible and as good as he does with Barca. Now lets just hope that he can keep it up.
» se7a on June 16th, 2010, 6:23pm
"La Furia" looooooooooool Spain will NEVER win the WC. But we will, again. For the 6th time.
» Orange Pekoe on June 17th, 2010, 2:14pm
Oh well, football match is one, that you cannot even predict which team will win, so I'll vote for the one that I wanted to win.
I'm not watching the match and I got no TV in my room..
I'm chinese and of indonesian nationality, but those two countries are not in the vote list.
So since now I'm living in Germany, I'll vote for Germany....

» Majamulli on June 18th, 2010, 3:07am
It's nice to see that before the Germany played they were on 6-7% and now they are on almost 15%. Let's see how it will turn out after the game today. And i guess Argentina will get a boost in the poll now as well seeing as they flattened South-Korea with 4:1.
And Spain, France and Italy are going down!

And Germany too, evidently. "How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle!" and all that.
» Name-Undecided on June 18th, 2010, 7:08am
I think we should have this poll again in the next round...and the round after that, and the round after that, and the round after that...
» Orange Pekoe on June 18th, 2010, 8:45am
Oh Sh*t, I just voted for Germany and today they lost.....TT_TT
» margiepeace08 on June 30th, 2010, 4:08pm
That doesn't mean they are out yet; they still have very good chances and have come back from that to play very well! <3
» ayashe on June 18th, 2010, 11:24am
Don't know and don't care.
» shelisan on June 19th, 2010, 11:50am
