NFL Still Struggling with International Marketing " style="border: 1px #ccc solid;margin: 2px 4px;"/></a>It’s fun to watch the National Football League try to find its way into international markets, especially since there’s no way it could possibly get any bigger in America. Of course, with NFL Europa officially calling it a day, commissioner Roger Goodell has new challenges ahead of him — like how to keep Europeans interested in a game that’s kinda like rugby, but not quite.</p><p>pitchinvasion.net posted 7/2/2007 from www.davesfootballblog.com </p><p>Find more top sports news, videos, and blogs on BallHype: <a href="http://ballhype.com/nfl/">NFL</a>, <a href="http://ballhype.com/nfl/roger_goodell/">Roger Goodell</a>, <a href="http://ballhype.com/nfl/ladainian_tomlinson/">LaDainian Tomlinson</a>, <a href="http://ballhype.com/nfl/new_england_patriots/">New England Patriots</a>, <a href="http://ballhype.com/nfl/jeff_ireland/">Jeff Ireland</a>, <a href="http://ballhype.com/nfl/miami_dolphins/">Miami Dolphins</a></p> http://ballhype.com/story/mei_shi_gan_lan_wha_nfl_still_struggling_with/ Mon, 2 Jul 2007 21:49:29 +2000 NFL Roger Goodell LaDainian Tomlinson New England Patriots Jeff Ireland Miami Dolphins http://ballhype.com/story/no_one_wants_god_on_their_side/ <p><a href="http://ballhype.com/story/no_one_wants_god_on_their_side/"><img src="http://images.ballhype.com/media/img/story/058/58209.thumb.jpg" width="100" height="100" align="right" alt=" No one wants God on their side " style="border: 1px #ccc solid;margin: 2px 4px;"/></a>Or Robbie Fowler.</p><p>pitchinvasion.net posted 7/2/2007 from www.theoffside.com </p><p>Find more top sports news, videos, and blogs on BallHype: <a href="http://ballhype.com/soccer/">Soccer</a>, <a href="http://ballhype.com/general/bob_costas/">Bob Costas</a>, <a href="http://ballhype.com/soccer/major_league_soccer/">Major League Soccer</a>, <a href="http://ballhype.com/national_teams/australia/">Australia</a>, <a href="http://ballhype.com/national_teams/scotland/">Scotland</a>, <a href="http://ballhype.com/soccer/premiership/">Premiership</a></p> http://ballhype.com/story/no_one_wants_god_on_their_side/ Mon, 2 Jul 2007 18:05:58 +2000 Soccer Bob Costas Major League Soccer Australia Scotland Premiership http://ballhype.com/story/a_prime_example_of_the_disparity_between_the_u_s_men_s/ <p><a href="http://ballhype.com/story/a_prime_example_of_the_disparity_between_the_u_s_men_s/"><img src="http://images.ballhype.com/media/img/story/056/56284.thumb.jpg" width="100" height="100" align="right" alt=" A Prime Example Of The Disparity Between the U.S. Men's and Women's World Cup Teams " style="border: 1px #ccc solid;margin: 2px 4px;"/></a>Last weekend the new jerseys for the U.S. women's World Cup team were unveiled, and they turned out to be gold. Apparently, since the team is #1 in the world, and because they were somewhat upset in the last World Cup by Germany in the semifinals, they've started using the slogan "Take Back The Gold".</p><p>pitchinvasion.net posted 6/28/2007 from sportsoasis.blogspot.com </p><p>Find more top sports news, videos, and blogs on BallHype: <a href="http://ballhype.com/soccer/">Soccer</a>, <a href="http://ballhype.com/national_teams/germany/">Germany</a>, <a href="http://ballhype.com/general/greg_gumbel/">Greg Gumbel</a></p> http://ballhype.com/story/a_prime_example_of_the_disparity_between_the_u_s_men_s/ Thu, 28 Jun 2007 17:20:19 +2000 Soccer Germany Greg Gumbel http://ballhype.com/story/mlsnet_com_site_redesign/ <p>MLSnet.com has been redesigned . I like the subtitle of the article: New, improved features keep MLSnet.com as nation's leading soccer Web site . There's nothing like good old-fashioned humility, proclaiming themselves the #1 US soccer site! Personally, I am not yet convinced that the changes are anything more than aesthetic.</p><p>pitchinvasion.net posted 6/27/2007 from mlsviews.blogspot.com </p><p>Find more top sports news, videos, and blogs on BallHype: <a href="http://ballhype.com/soccer/">Soccer</a>, <a href="http://ballhype.com/soccer/major_league_soccer/">Major League Soccer</a></p> http://ballhype.com/story/mlsnet_com_site_redesign/ Wed, 27 Jun 2007 16:21:16 +2000 Soccer Major League Soccer http://ballhype.com/story/big_league_clubs_from_small_towns/ <p><a href="http://ballhype.com/story/big_league_clubs_from_small_towns/"><img src="http://images.ballhype.com/media/img/story/054/54613.thumb.jpg" width="100" height="100" align="right" alt=" Big League Clubs From Small Towns " style="border: 1px #ccc solid;margin: 2px 4px;"/></a>I’m from a town of 4,000 people . The idea that my hometown would host any kind of professional team is laughable. So I was surprised recently to find out about Gretna FC, a Scottish club from a town of 3,000. Gretna won promotion last season and will play in the Scottish Premier League for the first time ever beginning this year.</p><p>pitchinvasion.net posted 6/26/2007 from cultureofsoccer.com </p><p>Find more top sports news, videos, and blogs on BallHype: <a href="http://ballhype.com/soccer/">Soccer</a>, <a href="http://ballhype.com/national_teams/scotland/">Scotland</a>, <a href="http://ballhype.com/national_teams/england/">England</a></p> http://ballhype.com/story/big_league_clubs_from_small_towns/ Tue, 26 Jun 2007 00:03:49 +2000 Soccer Scotland England
