World Cup Blogs

[maverick]

Mods, I think it would be a great idea to make a sticky and put a link to all the good World Cup USMNT-related blogs out there in one place so that we can go back regularly and see the new entries... what does everyone think? I'll get it started:

US Soccer Blog - http://www.ussoccer.com/articles/viewArticle.jsp_280957.html

Philip Bondy - http://blogs.nydailynews.com/sports/archives/the_world_cup_blog/

Ives Galarcep (very opinionated and knowledgeable) - http://pool2.northjersey.com/worldcup/

Jeff Bradley (requires registration) - http://insider.espn.go.com/espn/blog/index?name=bradley_jeff

Dear Mods:

[The Blind Pig]

We actually have a sticky for this on one of the WC boards.
The US mods can feel free to move this there if they like.

Fox Soccer Channel writers have a number of them:

http://blogs.foxsports.com/BobbyMcMahon - Bobby McMahon
http://blogs.foxsports.com/JamieTrecker - Jamie Trecker
http://blogs.foxsports.com/Nick_Webster - Nick Webster
http://blogs.foxsports.com/Oliver_Hinz - Oliver Hinz

Apparently Trecker noticed an injury with John O'Brien that's worrisome ...

[The Blind Pig]

are we seriously going to go through over 100 blogs?


that's retarded

Or he's making crap up again. It is Trecker.

[The Blind Pig]

an "injury" could have been them doing their ice and wrap job after practice or whatever

Dude, Trecker's happiness is directly related to the amount of negativity he can publish about USA soccer. Don't even waste your time reading him.

No, actually, some of us enjoy finding "off the beaten path" observations that aren't necessarily enough to feature in a full media article. If you think the blogs are pointless, don't read this thread. Sheesh. :rolleyes:

Washington Post's blog. Great post on a visit to England's training center.

It's a whole network of sites with a blog for each team, including the US.

That link is for non-professional blogs (which is very, very different, since I don't particularly want to read what Aunt Edna has to say). What I was looking to accomplish is getting a list together of all the U.S.-based journalists who are blogging from Germany about the USMNT (and the tournament more generally)... hence the USMNT News forum. For example, I didn't know about the Fox Sports blogs at all and was pleased to learn of them.

As for reading all the blogs: if we beat Czech Republic and/or Italy, I'm reading EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF COMMENTARY that I can get my hands on. :D

www.soccerblog.com I've found is rather well done.
