EXTRA TIME

(Issue 1.1)

Alice Jones – Soccer Editor at BellaOnline.com

Thank you for the feedback that some of you sent me last week. It was great to hear from you, it makes me happy to know that you are enjoying the new Soccer Site at BellaOnline.

This week on BellaSoccer I have published some new articles about the forthcoming World Player of the Year Awards in 2007, discussing the nominations in depth for both men's and women's awards. The Winners will be announced later this month.

The nominations are:

Mens Award: Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

I hope you enjoy the article which you can read here on BellaOnline.

Women's Award: Cristiane, Bergit Prinz and Marta.

You can read my views here in this article.

I have also set up a vote on the forum, so that you can choose your favourite player from those nominated, or discuss it. The forums have been very quiet, as there has not been a Soccer Editor but I would love to get them busy again. If you have any thoughts on these articles, your favourite players, or anything else I would love to hear from you on the forums.

You can log onto the forums by clicking the above link, or following the link beneath the articles on the main site. If you have forgotten your password, there is a form to get a new password emailed to you.

Also this week I have taken a look at how transfers of players work in Europe and the United States. I have published an article on the soccer site as described below.

Differences in the Transfer System between Major League Soccer and Europe.

I always like to hear from readers, so feel free to email me with suggestions, and comments. I promise only to reply if you specifically ask for a reply, or have a question. I will never send you any unsolicitated mail.

I hope to hear from you sometime soon, either in the forum or in response to this email message. I thrive on your feedback!

Have fun passing this message along to family and friends, because we all love free knowledge!
