On behalf of the team at World Soccer Talk, we’d like to wish you and your family a very Happy Thanksgiving Day.

We here at the World Soccer Talk HQ have a lot to be thankful for. First and most importantly, we want to thank you — the reader — for your continued support and loyalty. The past 12 months has been our most successful ever in our 8-year history. Since this past summer, we’ve made a ton of changes including rebranding the name of the site and expanding its focus to cover the world game, so we’re thankful to you for continuing to come to the site, as well as participating in the debates in the comments section, and sharing your ideas, news tips and stories.

We’re also thankful for all of the hard work by our team of writers and the podcast/video crew (Laurence, Morgan, Kartik, Matt and Kris).

Happy Thanksgiving Day!
