Oh, USA. #i’llalwaysbelieve
Though we lost to Belgium in the 16th round of FIFA World Cup, it was an awesome match.
If you’re following the games, you know the World Cup is among the largest international sports competitions with a qualification process, reducing the field of players from 200-plus countries to 32 for the finals.
That Spain and Portugal handily were knocked out of the group stage was fairly historic; Spain, of course, being the defending champion.
I’ve come to learn a great many of my pals are World Cup fanatics. In fact, I was forced to recently unfollow a Facebook friend because her World Cup blow-by-blow was too much. (Sorry, Lillian!) I couldn’t quite follow her three to four Facebook statuses each minute, and I started to feel funny that I wasn’t spending my days watching soccer. It’s OK; I’ll follow her again once the competition concludes July 13.
So it’s in this spirit, that we decided it was time to look at some great soccer blogs.
Soccerlens aims to bring its readers the best in football. It was created by Ahmed Bilal in April 2006.
The site promises to do three things: “Inform – by using facts instead of fiction and by placing ‘news’ in the right context and perspective; entertain – by telling a great story that helps fans enjoy football and by creating an open community for every football fan to step in and share their passion; and help football – by covering the angles and the news that has an impact on football’s future, and by actively contributing to the game’s development around the world.”
So, let’s talk World Cup coverage. Soccerlens has been churning out some really good pieces, including World Cup betting: Argentina & Belgium look set to join quarter-finalists.
Also, Soccerlens keeps it easy, if you’re looking for its best posts.

World Soccer Talk is the “independent voice for soccer fans, featuring daily news and analysis on all of the top soccer leagues and competitions around the world.”
It launched in 2005 and boasts roughly 1.7 million unique visitors each month. Its writers and analysts also have been tapped to appear in broadcast and print, including CNN, NPR, BBC World, ESPN Radio, and The New York Times.
A couple of posts that caught my eye include USA vs Belgium Preview: USA Readies Itself Against the World Cup Dark Horse and Watch Argentina 1-0 Switzerland: Match Highlights.

The site covers transfer rumors, video, World Cup, and sports news. It features teeny clickable jerseys across the top that allow users to check out various football clubs.
