Hopefully, I'll be preparing some things for this blog and for my other one(s), including Squirrels and Whatever Else. The hard part is getting around to that when all I do on the Internet is click and save, watch videos, play games, and the like. It's when I'm at home and off the Internet that I actually prepare things.
Anyway, I've already thrown together an all-time team and several all-decade teams, and the name of this blog came up during the assembly of the latter because I don't really know how to choose. As an American, part of me says I have no business with soccer. But my interest in this sport is derived from things I won't try to explain on the spot (like that it's a big, less-explored world for me, and all the kinds of matches that can be played), and although it's usually fleeting, I've been on a major kick lately (no pun intended).
These teams have been based on other all-time teams, lists of great players, and other stuff I found at the rec.sport.soccer pages. Of course there's going to be national bias in any such list, and the all-time teams you'll see above sometime will reflect the degree the original sources had. A fan in the US who knows what he's talking about might have a little less.
I should definitely work on ending every line with something snappy. And actually reading what I write before I send it.
I've had a fling with soccer, but baseball and I have an understanding.
