Poll: World Cup -- Are you watching online at work?

I caught snippets of the World Cup morning match between Greece and Nigeria today, and was excited to see that Greece won its first cup match ever, by a score of 2-1.

Tomorrow, I plan on watching (at least part of) the USA vs Slovenia match, at 10 a.m.

Oh, and did I mention that I'm watching these games at work, via ESPN3's lovely site?

So here's BaltTech's latest poll: Are you using your work Internet access to watch the World Cup? Or are you using a TV?

I'd imagine that the kind of lack of productivity that we see during March Madness and the NCAA tournament is magnified here several-fold, worldwide, as nations sit transfixed watching their teams' progress.

Vote in the poll below and I'll try to write more about this!

Any time I try to watch these games I start going crazy in a matter of minutes because of that annoying consistent buzz. I want to swat at random invisible bees or flies!
