2008 WFN/USFN USFooty Poll Number 2

I have no idea what this poll means - I know this isn't the first one that has been up on WFN. What is it basically a ranking system of the top 10 teams in the US?

To be honest I think it is a spurious article with no real relevance to USFooty and definitely none to international footy. It's only interesting to the people that play on the teams. This article should surely be limited to the USFooty website.

my two cents...

2008 WFN/USFN USFooty Poll Number 2

I understand the gist of what you're saying Dingo, in that the specifics of which club in the US is ranked higher than another, might be mainly of interest to followers of the US league, but this site is about all footy and people can read what they want and skip the rest. Likewise someone say in Asia might not be that interested in how the Irish league is going. People like myself that have an interest in all areas of footy are probably in the minority. Neverthless, we report across the spectrum. We certainly don't limit ourselves to stories that apply to every country.

As for the legitimacy of the poll itself, I can understand if some people might feel that it's a bit contrived since it's a matter of opinion. But unlike quite a few countries where there's one clearly top league, the US is a big country with a lot of leagues so it is nice now and then to consider how the different top clubs are going.

I suspect that given its controversial nature, the modest size of the audience that may be really keen to see the results, the amount of effort that Chris puts into gathering the poll (quite a lot I'd imagine) and the relatively small number of games on which to judge form, I'd probably recommend that just doing a mid-season and end-of-season poll would probably be plenty. But that's really up to Chris. We certainly welcome his continued support of worldfootynews.com since he began his focus on the usfootynews.com site.
