Manchester United sign Michael Owen - the good, the bad and the insane (20) - 07/03/09

Author: Victor Li

Profile: Victor Li is a writer who does live blogging and features for Soccerlens. He has a law degree, but, unfortunately, he spent more time in law school studying David Beckham’s contract situation at Manchester United than he did learning about actual contracts. He roots for Manchester United and, because he’s an eternal optimist, the U.S. National Team.

Editor: Marco Pantanella

Profile: Marco Pantanella has been a soccer enthusiast from a very early age, ever since he started kicking the ball around as a little baby in his garden. From then on, enthusiasm became a passion, and passion eventually lead to the creation of his mCalcio.com Soccer Blog in July 2007. Eventually, fate brought Marco Pantanella to write for Soccerlens, and a new Serie A-reporting dynasty was born.

On top being the Chief Editor and a regular writer for Soccerlens, Marco is also responsible for many of the artwork pictures you see on the website. His best images include ‘Share Your Football Experiences’ Contest, The Ultimate 5-a-Side Team, Top 50 Most Exciting Teen Footballers (2007), Barcelona vs. Real Madrid: El Clásico Is Almost, Almost Upon Us, Inter Milan vs. AC Milan - A Preview of the ‘Derby della Madonnina’, and All-Time Premier League Top Scorers.

Marco has been a vivid Juventus supporter ever since the Roberto Baggio era. His favorite players are Paolo Maldini and Alessandro Del Piero.

Interview with Heather Mitts, USWNT, Olympic Gold Medalist, Boston Breakers Defender and ESPN’s “Sexiest Female Athlete” (4) - 05/17/09

Guest Columnist: Neil Jones

Profile: Right, where to start? My name is Neil Jones, I’m 23 years old and from Liverpool- therefore I’m a Liverpool F.C. supporter. I have been writing football related bits and bobs for as long as I can remember. It was a massive ambition of mine right the way through school to be a sports writer, until the smell of money distracted me from University at 18! But now I’m determined to give it another go, starting from now! I guess I find it easy to write about something I seem to spend most my life talking/thinking/reading about, and have an awful lot of passion for. Hope you enjoy reading my pieces, and don’t be afraid to cut me down if you disagree with my opinions. After all, that’s what football is all about isn’t it?

Why Gerrard and Iniesta are better than Messi and Ronaldo (60) - 05/31/09

Guest Columnist: Hugo Steckelmacher

Profile: Hugo Steckelmacher has loved football since he can remember - indeed, his mother often jokes that he kicked so much as a baby due to his eagerness to get out of the womb and play football!

Of German-Jewish descent, a rocky love-affair with Tottenham began at a young age, and his favourite players
as a child were Nick Barmby and Gary Mabbutt. At the age of ten, he began to watch La Liga football and fell in love with the league and especially with the “juego bonito” of the two biggest clubs, Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Now living in Barcelona, Hugo regularly [sic] writes on La Liga and Tottenham.
