    Hi, My name is Samiul Awal. I saw while reading a blog on google that you have a Soccer-related resource page. Url- https://sites.duke.edu/wcwp/about-this-blog/resources/
    It looks excellent. I have a Soccer-related website, would you like to include my site on your resource page?
    If yes then great, here is my website link- https://soccred.com/
    No worries, if not. Are you active on social media? If so I’d be happy to connect with you and talk Soccer.
    Regards,
    Samiul
