I'm an "aspiring" (hah!) journalist from Liverpool whose foremost love in sport happens to be Liverpool and football. I'm also a contributor to a certain other open source websites. Tweet me at http://twitter.com/Solarisol87
I've had an intense passion for football (soccer) since I was about the height of an unusually small Hobbit. I became interested in American sports after Channel Five's establishment and fondly remember that veritable home run contest between Griffey, McGwire, and Sosa.
If I'm not distracted, I hope to publish my second article, focusing on French football, and perhaps a third, more sensitive article on various historical aspects of football in Britain. I'm eager to incorporate my interest in history and current events into sports-related articles; they're usually engaging.
I have a tendency to be sentimental and extremely nostalgic, so I often romanticise those who I admired and idolised in the, hah, 1990s, while unconsciously subscibing to a more cynical perception of current sports players. Which isn't actually sentiment that I sincerely adhere to..........I think it's the cruel assault of age.
Hey Joel, I just wrote a piece about the upsets of the world cup. Take a look if you have the time :)

Cheers for the pick Joel.
Hey Joel
As football fans , many of us dream of being footballers like Pele and Maradona (the legends), thats okay, but I think its time we learn a few lessons from those little kids on the street in India , with their goalposts made of sticks and bricks and their old white shirts with 'Beckham' written on it with Felt Tip Pens.
