Now there's another Man United fan on this forum. That will drive Sam more than ever to sing triumph songs about his club.

Hi. My name is Marcin and I live in Warsaw, Poland. When I signed for this forum during 2006 World Cup, it was very small - I was only 14th registered user then. I was looking for a place on internet where football joins people, instead of dividing them if you know what I mean. I have seen too many forums, where I could find 30 posts in the topic, with only 1 or 2 of them interesting. It is interesting to me to know other people opinions abouth the game.
I am 28 now and I first bought World Soccer 11 years ago. Not that I am month-to-month reader since then, but I really like the magazine. Even if I could only understand 20% of texts when I first bought it, it was clear to me that this is something on much higher level than polish football magazines, both in articles quality and graphical side. I dreamed then that I could have a job connected to football one day. It came true, as I am editor of sport section of Canal+ polish website.
I'll be back there to follow your discussions and maybe I'll write something too. Sorry for any mistakes in my english.

Hi, what's up, I'm Dalbs. I'm 15 soon to be 16 and I'm a Barca fan. I follow football from most countries and I like a few different clubs in each country but will always support Barca. Some of the clubs I like are Santos, Independiente, Inter, Roma, Palermo, Atletico Madrid, Sevilla, Tottenham, Reading, Bremen, Lyon, Hamburg, CSKA Moscow and Ajax. I hate Real Madrid and all of Englands top 4. I do however respect every club. I am a fan of young players and always like to know of the best youngsters so give me a message if you know any. Thanks. Some of my favourte players are Messi, Kaka, Ronaldinho, Etoo, Puyol, Gerrard, Xavi and Terry. Although I support Barca I always watch and support England in international matches. I would also like to mention that I get every issue of World Soccer. Other than football I also enjoy comedy and Wrestling. Thanks for reading. Talk to you later, Dalbs

G'day all, I'm 33-year-old Mike from Sydney, Australia. My club team (as such) is Sydney FC in the new A-League, which is currently struggling to establish itself after the old national competition in Australia, the NSL, died in 2003/04.
I've been subscribing to WS for about eight years now...and receiving the mag is still my highlight of the month. Last year I managed to get to the World Cup to see my beloved Socceroos in action, and while there had the good fortune to meet some of my journalistic heroes from WS - including the irrepressible Brian Glanville.
I have a little blog on Australian and world football: www.thefootballtragic.blogspot.com.

Sindelar - the site sounds interesting and since I know how it is running one myself, I'd love to give it some support - but the link you've posted doesn't work for me... have you mis-typed anything?

Whoops, yep, done that before...the full stop at the end prevents it from working. This one should be OK: www.thefootballtragic.blogspot.com

Looks good. I'll be back when I'm not phenomenally tired (well it's 3:30am here and I'm only still up due to technical issues with my own site!). By the way - your name. Do you have any Austrian in you? He's an unusual player to reference...

Dalbs: It's interesting that you should support Barca and England. May I know which country you come from? Presumably not from Spain?

Yep, I'm Australian but my grandparents are Austrian. My grandfather was a Rapid Vienna fan, and saw Sindelar in his prime...

I'm actually from England but prefer Spanish football as I find it more exciting and to my style. Also, I know your from India so you may be interested to know that I am from Indian descent.

Good to hear that. I was just wondering. Do you use the BBC's 606 forum? I ask this because there is a person going by the member name of messiisgod there who suports Barca and is an Englishman.

No I don't but I might check it out. I also consider Messi as my favourite player so guess I would get along with that person.

Hi, I'm Adrian, Southampton supporter with keen interest in leagues all over the world. Been reading World Soccer for years as it offers a more informed, insighful and intelligent look at the game around the world. Also, it allows me to read about football while escaping the pain of following Saints!

You've gotta be proud of the youths eg Walcott, Bale. Both brilliant players who will bring in a lot of money for Southhampton. Potentially £12 million for Walcott (if all the bonuses pull off) plus probably the same or more for Bale.

Hi, I'm GillsMan, I've been around on fan sites for the Football Manager games for a while, and I'm a subscriber to World Soccer mag. Primarily, I'm a Gillingham fan, but my second team is West Ham, and I'm a season ticket holder there, in the Bobby Moore stand. Hope to be able to contribute to these forums.

Good grief a Gillingham fan. Welcome to the forum. My best mate supports them (and Bristol Rovers, and Fulham... he likes to spread the love around a bit - at least I keep my clubs in separate countries!). Welcome also to Adriansfc.

Yeah the youth system is brilliant, just be nice to keep them a bit longer! Surman is a very good young player who might stay a while though.
