The World is Round: About Soccerblog.com

"Time is an awkard inconvenience between football matches," said the french existentialist Albert Camus. He should know- he was a goalkeeper! And not just for the team down the street.

As goalkeeper for Algeria, Camus found the missing link between football and existentialism: "All I know most surely about morality and obligations, I owe to football." And went on to win the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Name another sport where the goalie wins the Nobel Prize. I dare you!

That's why we're here. This site is a site about life, or soccer, as we call it.

The history, the players, the teams, the experiences -- the meaning behind the beautiful game.

Join us on our journey. Don't be a stranger!

PS: Tom Friedman -- the word is not flat, it is round.
