This is a case study about the possible community formation on the website www.soccernet.com. The aim of the case study is to determine whether or not this site has formed a community based around the interest of football and also sport in general.
To achieve this aim the case study will look first of all into a brief background and history of Soccernet in ‘What is ESPN Soccernet?’, followed by the features and content provided on Soccernet. To look into the community aspect of the website the question ‘Is there a community formed behind the guise of Soccernet?’ is discussed and also the influences of football and peoples interest in forming the community, whilst also taking into account theory’s on virtual communities and its definition in certain scholarly circles.
