The problem with football is that it's absolutely done to death.
Just pick up any newspaper in the UK and the back 10 pages are full of nonsense about football.... everyone talks about it all the time.
Turn on Sky Sports and there's always some football on of some sort.
This website works so well because of the novelty of pro-gaming and an international community that shares a common interest.
With football, everyone has their strong favourites already, throw in national pride and it's not going to make for much constructive posting.
So you don't think it would be intresting for lets say a guy from italy or spain to find out about the swedish fans-culture, as its ranked top10 in the world? Or to discuss history of certain leagues and foreigners who succeeded in other countries, what did it mean to them? Whats their view on this and that league/country. And i do think that fans can have constructive discussion, but the site will be more about sharing your experiences and comparing different leagues, random xfer talk and prematch talk etc. I really don't think the people that would use this site are as one-sided in their opinions as you make it sound like. There are actually a great number of people who actually has a general intrest in football ^^ You don't actually learn much about the other leagues when reading the newspapers or following a normal net magazine, all you see is who scored and if anything stood out. No indepth analysis or actual intresting information about the leagues themselves.
I dont think it would be a bad idea. But maybe it should be something more than just a community where you talk about the big teams. It could be also for amateur players themselves where they can talk about soccer skills, learning, tourneys etc. of their level and region.
For instance, it could help students who are going abroad (erasmus for instance) to find a place or some people to play with. I myself am planning going abroad for a year and something like that would be really helpful.
