New Signings at Footballers Convention!

July 28th, 2010 by SeveSanchez

I’m very pleased to announce the signings of two new contributors to FootballersConvention.com.  Both Fabio Dicecca and Mark Brown recently put pen to paper and have hit the uh, interwebs running.  There were some big websites interested, but ultimately they opted for Champions League football and have taken their talents… right here!

Fabio will be specializing in Serie A (and all things Italian) in his deceptively named column, “Forza Italia.”  You can read his first post here.  If you want to get him going, tell him why his beloved AS Roma is doo doo.

Mark is our resident kaiser of German football.  A Bayern Munich and Mannschaft diehard, he’ll be sharing his Bundesliga insight in his own section, “Mia San Mia.”  Here is his first post.

And of course, you’ll continue to get a healthy dose of Sanchez as the new season launches.

Welcome to FootballersConvention.com!

June 8th, 2009 by SeveSanchez

Welcome, everyone, to the launch of FootballersConvention.com- the newest home to some obscure sport called football.

What is Footballers Convention? Footballers Convention is a blog dedicated to bringing you the very best of ‘The Beautiful Game.’  It offers analysis, news, musings, highlights, and everything in between from the top European leagues and world football.

The brainchild of Seve Sanchez, a pronounced Liverpool supporter and student of the game, Footballers Convention seeks to provide a unique voice to the sport: one accessible to the American fan that neither dumbs down nor taints the purity of football.   This Los Angeles-based blog brings you the game as it ought to be.

What’s in a name?  When Sanchez was in high school, he and his teammates would often fraternize away from the pitch; inevitably, hijinks and great football discussions occurred.   These storied gatherings become known as Footballers Conventions, and it is the hope of this site to foster a similar, but no less passionate discussion of all things football.

We’re very excited for all the new developments of the site and hope you’ll join us as we navigate the interesting, absurd, divine, raw, and downright brilliant world of football.   We’ll be offering (dangerously biased) coverage of anything and everything occurring in football that piques our interest.  But this is your chance to shine too.  Make yourself heard in the comments section following each post!  Engage one another; engage us.  Future posts can be tailored per your requests or questions.  You can even contact us, and we will do our best to respond.  We swear on Robbie Fowler.  In the meantime, feel free to peruse the site and make sure to check out the links in ‘Need More Football News?’

Watch this space…
