There's something about soccer (and as a Brit, by that I mean football, puh-lease...) that seems to have captured investors' imaginations of late. Case in point: FTBpro, a large fan-generated content platform, has now secured $5.8 million from Battery Ventures and Gemini Israel Ventures to fund global expansion. The site currently has 20 million monthly page views, over 1,000 contributing fan writers, covers all major leagues worldwide and publishes content and tools in a variety of languages.?On FTBpro, fans can publish and interact with each other and FTBpro?s editors. The site features match predictions, videos, imagery slideshows, team line-ups and player rankings amongst other features.
