Not being a fan of the sport of Soccer, I went into this site with an open mind. I expected the site to be about the world of soccer, what is going on in each of the leagues, and that sort of thing.
The first thing I noticed about the site was the design was broken in my browser. I am using Safari on the Mac and the posts were all below the double column on the right. At first I thought it was a blank page, until I scrolled down. This isn’t a good start, but still I kept on.
Now since I do not know much about soccer I am a little baffled by the info that is posted here. Being a football (US) fan, I know that the teams all play on Sunday or Monday (for the most part). I was expecting updates on the author’s favorite team. Things like team standings, player ranks, goals scored, awesome shots, etc… Instead I found a non regularly update blog about random topics within the world of soccer. Just to give you a clue as to what I mean by this, there are 23 posts total. 1 about NCAA soccer, 3 about FIFA, 4 about Major League Soccer, 8 about English premier league, and then some random topics.
Probably the most annoying thing about this site was from the time I got there, I felt like it was just a scam to earn money. Maybe it was the ad asking you to advertise, or maybe it was the big skyscraper ad, or maybe it was that after each post was a “related items on Amazon” ad. That got annoying quick.
Overall the site has news about soccer. While it could not be a daily read to update yourself what is going on, it might be a good weekly stop. By fixing the design problems, and making it more soccer oriented, than I want to earn money oriented, I think this weblog could really take off and do well. Till then, I give it the weak score that I did.Soccer Weblog
