    Great content.

    Not a big fan of the design though. Header i would have liked something with more football. Rather than just the red and green stripe.
    Also the black to white gradients on the blocky section heading is a bit distracting from the content. But this is just my opinion on the design, good job on the website overall.

    The layout is simple but it's nice. We all know that content is the king. And you did a great job in it. Keep rocking, man!

    You could do better on the designs. Layout and content are great! I also suggest you put detailed statistics of game/leagues for the past 3 years or so. That'll really help boost your traffic.

    Now you have to get those traffic you need! And make sure you keep it updated as site like this needs to be updated daily.

    How will you monetize it?

    Thanks all for the feedback.

    i agree with the part about the header. It needs to be looked at. Will get onto that soon.

    In terms of monetizing. Anyone know about what works best for sports/football sites?

    -Perhaps Sports Betting banners
    -Memorabilia Banners
    -google ads perhaps?

    Any ideas?

    i like the site.

    the content is good.

    for the monetizing i would go for google adsense, and perhaps one banner on top.

    Whats your reasoning ?

    I would have thought adsense would cheapen the site.

    I agree. Try to monetize through affiliate programs on bookmaker/sportsbook, casino and adult.

    Nice. Clear and easy to navigate. The one thing i would change is to have just headlines in the latest news section rather than an article. The headlines can then link to the full article.

    Just a personal preference.
