If Soccer Bloggers Ruled the World
By: Laurie | November 12th, 2008
We at The Offside love being football/futbol/soccer bloggers. We really do. But we have noticed that there are some things in life that make our jobs harder.
If we ruled the world (and we genuinely believe that we should), here are a few things we’d change:
If Soccer Bloggers Ruled the World
- All player names would be capped at seven letters, tops. Diniyar Bilyaletdinov, you’re outta here!
- YouTube’s Terms of Service would allow English-language videos to stay up just as long as pirated ones in Chinese.
- Someone would invent a special Soccer Bloggers’ Keyboard, so we could type “Emre Belözoğlu” without having to copy and paste from Wikipedia.
- That ubiquitous “10% luck, 20% skill etc” song would be banned from player highlight reels. We get it, he’s good.
- Someone would invent a special universal currency for use in football transfers, so we don’t have to type €15m (£11.88m, $23.44m etc). The new currency will be called transfer vouchers. So it would be “Aston have offered Portsmouth 10 transfer vouchers for Niko Kranjčar.”
- When liveblogging, we could decide which games go to extra time and penalties, according to our own personal and family schedules.
- Big football news wouldn’t break while we were out buying groceries.
- The NFL would start describing its sport as something other than “football”, to make searching for proper football news much much easier. May we suggest “throwball”?
- We’d tip the scales so that mainstream media sites would love it when we link to them because of all the extra traffic it brings. But we’d be really tight and hardly ever do it.
- It would pay a lot better.
