It should come as no surprise that Soccer City USA is a hotbed of soccer blogging (and Twittering). Behold below, the definitive list (i.e. let me know if I overlooked any) of Portland soccer blogs; not blogs about Portland soccer, but rather blogs about soccer written by Portlanders.
(Special thanks to Mao’s Football, Hammer in the 503, and The World is Round for help in compiling this list.)
* Indicates a blog that is possibly defunct, or as I prefer to think of it – on hiatus.

Thanks for giving me ‘Honorable mention’ in the general category, and thanks for putting together this list. I’ve been wondering who else in town does this stuff–and have also thought it might be fun at some point to see about getting any local soccer-inclined bloggers together for beers and brainstorming (ideally while watching a game). If there’s any interest?
Hello,
I hope you are enjoying the Mundial.
I will be teaching ayh a class on the History and Culture of Soccer at PSU this summer, June 22nd- July 15th.
I am looking for guest speakers who could come and share their knowledge and love of the Portland Timbers and/or of the game in other lands.
Please feel free to distribute.
Thanks,
