Top stories from 2009 and thank you from PSW

You could argue it’s not a fair “fight” to compare articles they may have only just come out lately to ones they may have been posted back in January, but with several in the top 10 having been posted in the last 90 days, I don’t think it’s too unfair.
 
Speaking of fight, the top two “articles” included video’s of girls fighting on the soccer field. We considered not including them in this list on the grounds that a video is not an article, but that standard would cut out some other good articles that also have videos attached. The fact is, they’re something we posted that you read, so they deserve to be on this list, even if the players involved don’t deserve to be on the field.
 
Thanks for a great 2009, and hoping you’ll join us for a fantastic 2010. It will be our biggest year yet, with more expansion and new features then ever before – like a truly national version of our news coverage, a new and improved web site platform to enable more social interaction, and some really cool new features that we think will improve the information flow around the soccer world like nothing else since the invention of the web site itself! Hope you’ll stay with us, and continue to invite your soccer friends to join or growing community as well.
 
Thank you for reading!
