“He’s been waiting for this moment his entire life. He’s just minutes away from hoisting up the trophy of his dreams. Holland has stayed up all night to watch their beloved Dutch maestro make history. They said it was impossible. Hell, I said it was impossible. Well, we’ve all been proved wrong by Mr. Cruyff. He has been absolutely phenomenal all series and is...

The Ongoing Learning Process
afootballreport:
“For me, life is just an ongoing learning process.” - Jurgen Klinsmann

A Supportive Saturday Afternoon - A short film by Eric and Jordan Beard
The texture of passion often lacks definition. However, when loyalty befriends sheer strength in numbers, clarity arises.
64,121 people showed up to Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts to see the United States Men’s National Team play Spain on Saturday, June 4th. Some supported Spain, some...

Interview by Eric Beard, writing from Barcelona. Illustration by Jon Horner.
I often assume the role of a romantic or even an idealist when writing about football. When Grant Wahl announced his intention to oppose Sepp Blatter, it was genuinely invigorating. What would FIFA be like under, more or less, a man of the people? For football fans everywhere it is an intoxicating...

By Eric Beard, a Bostonian writing from Emory University
Ask any New Englander and you’ll find that there’s only one football to be found in the region. Sure, the local MLS side, the New England Revolution, may play in the same stadium as the NFL’s New England Patriots (both owned by billionaire Robert Kraft), but the general public consciousness and amount of media coverage...
