Will someone with contacts at ESPN please tell the commentators to stop talking about the other game? My only defense is to shut off the commentary on the first one I choose to watch, so I can watch the second one with no foreknowledge.

Dick.

chances of that happening are nil, especially in situations like group B and E where results in one game are depended on the other.

Do you tape over the scroll bar at the bottom of the screen?

Why wouldn't you want to know about the other game? That's a really dumb thing to complain about.

Let me introduce you to this great soccer message board I found...

Do you tape over the scroll bar at the bottom of the screen?What? And miss the delicious scrolling message during the England game today that Rome's Burning would not be seen??

Got to love it...Rome being pre-empted by soccer :D

Speaking of pre-emption, according to the AP, Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals was pre-empted in Salt Lake City for a tape-delayed broadcast of a Real game.

That's awesome. Soccer pre-empting the NHL. It makes sense for SLC, because why would they care if Carolina was playing Edmonton? It does not impact Utahns' lives in any way.
