What you said was very logical. However, think on this,
suppose you typed a catchier post title?
I mean, I don't want to tell you how to run your website, however suppose you added a title that grabbed folk's attention?
I mean "Fifa Beach Soccer World Cup Highlights & Overview" is a little
plain. You might glance at Yahoo's home page and watch how they create news headlines to get viewers interested. You might try adding a video or a related pic or two to grab people interested about what you've got to say.

Just my opinion, it could bring your blog a little livelier.

Currently it sounds like Wordpress is the top
blogging platform available right now. (from what I've read) Is that what you are using on your blog?
