CFL fan?
Game (as usual) a blowout?
More excited about the opening Monday of the Chivas USA and Galaxy training camps?
Then try these new blogs, Web sites and grab bag of other non-pointyball stuff.
Following up from Saturday’s post about Chivas USA goalkeeper Brad Guzan, a few more details from the presser are here.
An organization in a nascent stage, the North American Soccer Reporters, is a group of humble scribes (including yours truly) that has launched a Web site here. intended as a one-stop venue for blogs, articles and other info from reporters who regularly cover soccer in the U.S.
A blog with a narrower focus is the new Croatian Soccer Report blog written by San Pedro resident Ante Kvartuc and aimed at the community’s estimated 35,000 Croatian Americans.
Another recommended blog: Women’s Soccer USA. Among the newsworthy items: an update on former U.S. Women’s National Team Coach Greg Ryan and new W-League expansion team Pali Blues based in Pacific Palisades.
With the MLS preseason almost upon us it’s an apt (and long overdue) time to recognize the newest Galaxy supporters group, the Angel City Brigade, which despite the name is based in the OC.
Incidentally, a long-overdue spring cleaning of the links at 100 Percent Soccer is about to begin so recommendations are welcome.
Finally, there’s weekend prep news from the Daily Breeze here and the Daily News here, here, here and here.
