i’m a fan of the spanish football so reguarly use elmundodeportivo.es and sport.es for barca related news and sometimes i pop into either as.com or marca.es, also use goal.com

442.om is shit for the A-League in my opinion. Its always like Rykavysta and Twente beat Ajax and hes not even on the bench. Not to mention the all the bullshit like Denilson coming to Australia.
For Australia i believe the best site to be The World Game (http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/)
Always reliable, has highlights from all around the globe, great if u like Serie A, La Liga etc. (all in english)
Also they are a big contributor to football in Australia, no Aussie fan can ever thank you enough.

Goal.com – “I know it’s rubbish, but it’s url is short”

Maybe they’ll adopt that as their new advertising slogan?

Goal.com – I know it’s rubbish, but it’s url is short
The Guardian – Brilliant analysis and writing, Sid Lowe is my favourite journalist bar none
Fourfourtwo.com – Mainstream? maybe. Carries a lot of A-League news

Foremost, the Guardian — best football writing in the world. The Independent and Times for more quality writing. And then there’s Sky Sports and BBC. Absolutely despise Soccernet.

Everyone,

Please don’t use this comment thread to promote your own blog. The question is “Which mainstream media football websites do you read?” Not “what’s the url of your blog?”

I forgot to mention that http://www.roadto2010final.blogspot.com is an exceptional read as far as the 2010 World Cup from an African perspective goes.

BBC and Guardian for me. BBC mainly for things I want to confirm.

LigTv is good for Turkish footy as they post high quality vids along with their news.

galatasaray.org does a good job of giving a daily log of what’s going on with the CimBom.

-for Juventus news I read LaStampa.it
-i like the live game casts on espnsoccernet.com
-im also guilty of perusing goal.com from time to time. it’s like watching a reality tv show that you know is complete trash and a waste of time, but you just can’t stop looking…
