My nephew Kyle is a soccer (football) king. He has helped to lead his High School team to the finals for the last three years, and hopes to go to college on a soccer scholarship when he graduates next year. His family pretty much lives and breathes the game. I had introduced him to the Footbo.com site over the Christmas Holidays....and was actually tickled that I could lead him to a website he had not known existed. This is a pretty cool site for any of you that are fans of soccer.
One of Kyle's favorite parts of the site was that they had a whole section devoted to amateur clubs of the game.
He spent a good part of the afternoon reading stats and in general seeing how his high school team stacked up against those he read about. Amateur teams can create their own personal team page, with a team photo, logo, other photos/videos, and team history. Team pages give players the ability to let the Footbo community get to know their team and keep track of the latest events.
He also really liked that they have sections of the site devoted to certain teams complete with fan clubs and message boards. His favorite team is Manchester United and he enjoyed reading the messages written by their fans.
It was really nice for me to be able to share the Footbo.com site with someone that I knew adored the game of soccer, and if you are a fan you can also follow the Footbo network through Twitter:www.twitter.com/footbo and join fans on Facebook.

HOLY COW! Thanks for the post/giveaway! My husband and I are both huge fans of football! I found that I can connect with other Gooners (ARSENAL!) fans like me, and my husband can talk about his joke of a team (Manchester City, NOT UNITED!) with other True Blue fans!! Thank you!!!
I enjoyed reading the predictions section. Very interesting.
My oldest granddaughter and middle grandson are both soccer players and would love this site. As the site says, they could "Connect with your friends & other football fans from around the world" How cool would that be?

I learned that some of those Soccer team logo's are pretty darn cool looking. :)

i like the team player info thanks for the giveaway
I like that they have adult and youth league information for EVERYWHERE.
Just because you don't play at Old Trafford, Maracana or Camp Nou doesn't mean you don't belong alongside the big boys. Whether you play in local amateur league or you're a devoted park player, Footbo is the online home ground for you and your team.

I learned that the Manchester United is the most popular team.
I learned that Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo(Red Devil) has the most fans. He comes from the small island of Madeira and he started kicking a football (soccer to us in the US) at 3 years old. Wow!
I will be honest, I know hardly nothing about soccer but that it is my daughters long term boyfriends sport of choice and being that he will probably be my future son-in-law I need to learn more about it. I never knew much about football until meeting my husband, I learned that so I should do okay with soccer, I hope!
Thank you for the chance. If I win it will be a gift to him, kinda a future mother-in-law brown nosey, lol.
Have a good day.

Cristiano Ronaldo (Red Devil) began kicking a football when he was three. By the age of twelve Ronaldo had established himself as the best player on the Island and Madeira's top two teams, CS MarÃtimo and CD Nacional were both keen on signing him. Thank you for the opportunity to win!
