    Hi Guys,

    Please review my site Soccer Gossip, the link is in my sig.
    It's a football fan social network which is anchored by football forums.

    Please take a look and tell me what you think.

    Thanks in advance.

    The theme and the color scheme is nice but I think the site
    looks cluttered.

    I agree it does look a bit cluttered. I like the buttons that you use, but I think the images make it look cluttered. Personally I think you should go for one or the other. Also I like the header and the banner that changes every few seconds.

    First of all you have got a perfect domain name SoccerGossip.com :). The site has a clean and sleek design. I think the contents inside latest news box is little big font sized you can minimize them and make it more neat. The buttons below Join Soccer Gossip Today!!! can be minimized and made more neat. Also the buttons are not that matching with your site's template. You need to work on slight improvement in the design.

    Good Luck :)

    Thanks for all the comments guys, those are really helpful. I'm probably going to eliminate a lot of the pics from the frontpage and maybe minimize the button sizes. I'll try and streamline everything.

    Thanks again!

    I think the best thing you can do is to resize it - once it becomes popular 800x600 wide isn't going to do it. Also that image is far too big - people want to see the content, not pretty pictures, especially on a social networking site, I think.

    I think the join soccer gossip box is a bit excsive thoses boxes struck me immediately, I like the animated banner though and the drop down menus so there cool! Also have you thought about uploaing the videos to your own host so you could have a snazy football video player? I feel this would give your site an edge, and maybe have a section where users could upload videos on your host to share them with other users? Theres loads of ways you could expand this site. Have you though of a live football widget? Ok I guess I wilkl stop there but I think just edit the join soccer gossip section and your site will be very good.
