Soccer By Ives

Out with the old SBI, in with the new SBI (My farewell)

Good morning everybody. It is time to let you all know about the changes to Soccer By Ives that I have hinted about for months.

I am leaving the Herald News after 10 years at the paper in order to devote myself to launching and running a soccer news website that readers from all over the country, and American soccer fans all over the world, can come to for the best mix of news and analysis around. www.soccerbyives.net will be that site.

My plan is to make the new SoccerByIves a one-stop shop for all your soccer news needs. Curious about European transfers? Wondering who the next MLS coaching hire will be or whether a rumored trade is actually happening? Interested in hearing other people's opinions on the big soccer news of the day? You will find all of these elements on the new SBI just as you found them on the old SBI, only with more content on a wider range of topics.

www.soccerbyives.net launches live today, January 2, so you can feel free to change your bookmarks to the new site immediately.

If you have any questions, comments or suggestions you can contact me at soccerbyives@gmail.com. In the meantime, I look forward to seeing you at the new SBI.

Happy New Year from SBI

Good morning everybody. The new year is here and the soccer is already under way with Fulham suffering yet another heartbreaking loss, this time to Chelsea. Not exactly the way to start the year for American soccer fans, but 2008 should still be a fun one.

What will you be looking forward to in 2008 in the soccer world? World Cup qualifying? The Olympics? Euro 2008? US-Mexico for the millionth time? San Jose Earthquakes opening day?

I'm looking forward to all of it, as well as some major changes you will be finding out about very shortly.

For now, share with us what you will be looking forward to the most in this new year. Post your thoughts below.
