About Austin »

My name is Austin Lindberg, I graduated from the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota with a degree in print journalism. I primarily focus on world football/soccer, mostly the English Premiership and La Liga but have quite a passion for baseball, hockey and motorcycle racing as well.

Growing up in Minnesota, hockey is in my blood but after briefly living in West London, soccer became my passion. You can look forward to (or not, that's your business) pieces on the transfer window, the US Men's National Team, Chelsea, the Twins and the Wild.

I hope some of you enjoy my work, if you would like to get in touch with me I can be reached at lindberg.austin@gmail.com and I'm on facebook. After a fair bit of hesitance, I finally joined twitter. You can follow me there at https://twitter.com/austinlindberg

Thanks for the time.

Austin, after the Henry handball yesterday, I have decided that replay must be implemented in the beautiful game somehow. Please tell me your reaction.

Hi Austin, noticed you are the FC for Chelsea and thought this little stat might be a useful point to kick-start an analysis.

12 games into the season (roughly a third of the way through, so long enough to detect a trend) and Chelsea have 30 points. If you extrapolated that out for the rest of the season they'd end up with 95 points. (30/12 * 38 = 95)

Last time a team got 95 points in a Premier League season? Chelsea won the title in 2004/05...

Might be worth a discussion =D

No problem, man. I look forward to your upcoming soccer article(s). Admittedly, I'm not the biggest follower of the sport, but I can already tell editing here is changing that.
