This deal is no more than Sportingo hiring CaughtOffside.com's blogger, but they also get the blog brand and traffic as well. Founded in 2006, CaughtOffside is a popular football blog. Sportingo is a user generated content site run by ten people or so in Israel. It was founded by Tal Barnoach and Ze’ev Rozov, who previously lead a sports multimedia encyclopedic DVD company that went public in London in 1996.

Sports social networks have proven to be very valuable in the US and Sportingo is showing some momentum in Europe.
