Simply post sites names and/or sources that you look to for your football information (and ones people should tend to stay clear of).
If you also want you can probably say whether or not a site is particularly good for news of certain clubs.

My topic headline was supposed to read
'New Sources (Online & Newspaper) - The Good and the Bad'

that's my basic 3, i don't think those sites would miss any piece of news!!!

Fixed. And hopefully my computer won't crash halfway through the post this time.

Here's a start. Note that I tend to look first at Italian-language sources.

http://www.acmilan.com/

AC Milan official website. Where official announcements are made, etc. More tidbits on the Italian version than the English version, which is frequently poorly translated.

http://www.gazzetta.it/

Gazzetta dello Sport. Italy's best sports daily. Not perfect, but generally very reliable. Website includes text play-by-play of games. Print edition includes post-game player ratings and amusing sport-related horoscopes.

http://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/

Tuttomercatoweb is a website that collects news from various sources. It's a good place to check to see what's going on -- and it lists its sources so you can go to look at the original articles. As reliable as the sources it quotes.

http://www.milannews.it/

New website that's a sub-section of Tuttomercatoweb devoted exclusively to Milan-related stuff. Includes player ratings and editorials from the Curva.

http://www.datasport.it/

Datasport is a site similar in many ways to Tuttomercatoweb. It also includes post-game player ratings.

http://www.sportmediaset.it/

Mediaset sport. Generally reliable for Milan related news, given who owns Mediaset.

http://www.lega-calcio.it/

Lega Calcio is the Italian football league for Serie A, Serie B and the Primavera. Site includes official rosters (useful to look at during transfer season), official calendars, and sporting decisions (on things like suspensions).

http://www.figc.it/

FIGC is the Italian football association. The official site for stuff related to the Italian national team.

http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/

Football Italia is an English website devoted to calcio. Articles are usually translations of articles from the Italian press. Sometimes things are sensationalized and they include articles from Tuttosport and Corriere della Sport, which aren't terribly reliable.

http://www.goal.com/

Goal.com is a website covering world football. Culls its articles from a whole bunch of sources, some of them more reliable than others. Treat with caution.

http://www.tribalfootball.com/

Tribal football is...really not reliable. At all. Get confirmation from 2-3 other places of anything you read here.

http://www.uefa.com/

Official UEFA website. Has good features and is reliable for what it is.

Stop trying to impress her with your manners. If you want to hook up with her, you better stand in the end of a looooooong queue. As of now I think Max leads the pack.

Even dst (when he was a woman) wanted some.

ITALY

Tennie almost said them all but:

http://www.skylife.it/html/skylife/sport/home.html - SKY, good web with daily videos [I video di SKY... on the right].

http://sports.alice.it/ - ALICE, average webbie with news.

PORTUGAL

http://www.maisfutebol.iol.pt/indexnoticias.php - MAISFUTEBOL, probably the best in Portugal.

http://www.abola.pt/ - ABOLA, the major newspaper in the country. Benfica-reliable.

http://www.record.pt/ - RECORD, another paper from Lisbon. Sporting-reliable.

http://www.ojogo.pt/ - OJOGO, paper from the North. Porto-reliable.

BRAZIL

http://globoesporte.globo.com/ - GLOBOESPORTE, If something has to do with Brazil... then it's here.

Thanks, Porty!

The fish doll gives you some pasteis.

Posted by: acid911 May 8 2008, 03:27 PM

Thanks, Port. I've bookmarked a bunch of foreign website!

Posted by: Tennie Aug 5 2008, 09:56 PM

Pinned this one because I didn't want it to get lost.

Can anyone give a list/review of sources in Spain? How about Germany?

Corriere is the Rome-based paper and tends to cover both Rome squads (and to an extent also the 'southern' squads) reasonably well.

In case anyone is interested, AC Milan has redesigned its website.

Posted by: Jack Sparrow Oct 5 2010, 03:55 PM

I saw that. Good one.

Well, the site may be different but their Engrish hasn't changed ("the passion to be shared"). And the very first news bit I saw on there was in Arabic.

Nice.
