Alan Hylands is a soccer journalist from the UK and has been About.com's World Soccer Guide since 2006.
Experience:
Eager to give a voice to a new breed of online football writers Alan started UK soccer discussion site State of the Game in 2005 and quickly grew the site into one of the most read and hotly debated independent soccer websites in the UK with an editorial staff of over a dozen writers. He has also edited Canadian venture capital funded blog network b5media's soccer blog The Footie and is currently writing his first book on the England national soccer team.
From Alan Hylands:
I hope that World Soccer at About.com covers all bases when it comes to watching, understanding and following soccer at the highest level all over the world. Whether it is profiles of the top soccer stars, histories of the world's biggest clubs or some heartfelt analysis of the latest news and scandals to affect the sport, I believe that About.com is one of the media's foremost centres of soccer knowledge and expertise and always dedicated to broadening the soccer knowledge of our readers, regardless of which country they play or follow the beautiful game from.
