We Are Looking for a Beckham Blogger

First and most important: Stop back by here around 6:00 Pacific if you’re watching the game at home. (Or, I suppose, if you’re watching somewhere else but have an internet connection.) Leave lots of comments. It’s always more fun to have company while I’m watching, and I consider you guys are my own personal online soccer bar.

I may be liveblogging the game — I’m out all day, so we’ll see how much energy I have. I need to get some liveblogging practice in before Euros, when we’ll be liveblogging all of the games over on our brand spankin’ new Euro page at World Cup Blog. (Stop by and say hi and vote for your favorite team.)

But now the point of this post: The Offside is starting up player blogs for specific, very popular players, and we’re looking for a Beckham blogger. Beckham blogger: n. Somebody to write a blog devoted to David Beckham.

I would love to see it be done by a reader of this blog, because I’d personally love to see it in the hands of somebody who loves the player, the team and the game. And not necessarily in that order. I know there’s somebody out there reading this who fits the bill.

If you’d like to see what’s involved, you can check out our first player blog, the Cristiano Ronaldo blog, which has been up and running a couple of weeks. I think Ale, our CR7 blogger, finds a good balance between all the aspects of the player and his play.

And no, this will not change how I write this blog, although I do see myself linking to the Beckham blog on a regular basis when we cover the same topics.

This isn’t a paid position, but it’s fun. If you’re interested, drop a note and a sample post to our editor Daryl at daryl[at]theoffside[dot]com.

Looking forward to blogging with you!
