The following question was presented:
I guess we've really got to have another football question given the old world cup that's going on. I could ask who you think's going to win the competition, but I don't really care about that much anymore given that it's not going to be England. I don't have any sour grapes over the whole incident what-so-ever. I'll simply ask you to complete the following sentence as part of this week's vote. The referee's .........?
Results:
as blind as a bat was the clear winner with 60% of the votes selected from the following:
- a decent chap (0%)
- an honest individual (0%)
- an unbiased person (0%)
- a biased person (0%)
- as blind as a bat (60%)
- a wanker (40%)

Analysis:
Interesting - I was convinced that the majority would be voting for the old favorite of “the referee's a wanker” Looks like the majority of people our there are being a little more polite. There does appear to have been a few interesting decisions that were made during the competition - the Argentinian offside against Mexico was a pretty bad one. That said, I don't think either England or Mexico have a lot to complain about. England particularly were not the better side on the day and Germany deserved to win.
I do think the competition's been interesting in its unpredictability. France and Italy's early exit. I guess the latest is the fact that there was all this talk that there could be an all South American semi-final line up and there's only one team from that continent left - Uruguay and I'm not sure many people would have predicted that they would have gone further in the competition than Brazil or Argentina.
Hope the rest of it's interesting too.
