Getting my kicks at Pandagoal
August 11, 2009 by William K. Wolfrum
I’m a fairly big fan of international soccer. Occasionally, I’ll enthusiastically fire off a soccer-related post around these parts. These posts are generally met with crickets. Angry, angry crickets.
So no more soccer for you. From here on out, if you want to see what I have to say about soccer, you need to head over to the new soccer blog site, Pandagoal.
Part of the Pandagon International Blogging Syndicate (or whatever), Pandagoal promises to deliver top-notch soccer ramblings, covering the English Premiere League, as well as all of international soccer. Pandagoal big-shot Marc Faletti had this to say:
“American soccer fans are where followers of liberal politics were 7 or 8 years ago: we love something that the mainstream media dismisses/denigrates, we care about a world beyond US borders, we often feel isolated in our communities, and the pockets of online activity are distant and unconnected,” said Faletti. “Pandagoal.com was created to change all of that by building a fun, inclusive, informative community of soccer fans. End American sports xenophobia! Hang out at Pandagoal.”
So, if you’re a soccer fan, or a really, really big fan of me, head over to Pandagoal. My first post – declaring my endless love for Barcelona’s Leo Messi - is already up. See ya there.

How about crossposting? I cannot add one more site to my gooffing off during work ours. It might increase my distraction. I might not work at all if I keep adding sites I want to check out to my bookmark list.
And besides the angry crickets, I am sure you can count on Dgun to have something completely irrelevant to say about soccer.
How about you add pandagoal, and delete ILoveBillCompton.com from your bookmarks?
NEVER!
He is so dreamy!
Last year (spring of 08) I helped coach my then 5 year old’s soccer team. My primary coaching instructions to the kids were “Kick it!”. And also, “No, the other way!”
I rest my case.
