Sports Illustrated Launches 'Planet Futbol' Site

Interest in soccer content has grown 'exponentially'

Just in time for the World Cup, Sports Illustrated is expanding its soccer blog, Planet Futbol, into a stand-alone site set to roll out later this week. SI made a similar (and very successful) move last year when it launched MMQB, a spinoff site based on football writer Peter King’s popular Monday Morning Quarterback blog.

PlanetFutbol.com will also be led by one of SI’s star writers, Grant Wahl, who has overseen the Planet Futbol blog since its launch last September.
