I must say I’m excited about the MSM getting into soccer blogging. Here are the top MSM soccer blogs. Visit them, then come back to us – the onle and only true soccer blog!
Washington Post: they’ve been at it longer and do it better than the rest.
NY Times World Cup Blog: not bad, considering they don’t know their blogs. They’ve confused Soccer Bob’s World Cup blog with FIFA’s world cup blog (there is no FIFA world cup blog).
BBC World Cup Blog: Fairly lame so far, although they have a number of journalists signed up to “do some blogging.”
International Herald Tribune: Thanks to their lone blogger, Roger Cohen, the IHT has a blog. I like it quite a bit, though.
USA Today World Cup Blog: Better than most.
Houston Chronicle: They play soccer in Texas? Actually this is a Brain-Ching-centric blog…
AND THE WINNER IS: none of the above.
Probably the most interesting blog out there is the personal blog of Tony Karon (who sometimes guest blogs on this site). Karon is a senior editor at TIME, so the mainstream media actually do have the talent, they just don’t use it.
Please let us know if you have other MSM blogs you like, dear readers!
