I’ve found over the last few weeks that it’s a hell of a lot easier to write content for the blog when I’m not juggling a number of other side projects at the same time. And, thanks to all of you awesome readers, the WSOTP Soccer Pub Atlas project has been quite the time-consuming affair. So as I’ve been busy trying to dig myself out from the mountain of pub submissions in my email inbox, you can probably predict that my writing has taken a bit of a backseat to the action. That said, there are now over 120 soccer pubs in the directory, so if you’re looking for a place to enjoy a pint while enjoying this weekend’s action, you’re probably set now.

Anyway, as I work on getting my writing back on track, here are some quality links to keep you entertained and oblivious of my lack of creativity.
