Soccer lifestyle magazine The Green Soccer Journal launches issue three, focusing on soccer’s unsung heroes – goalkeepers. As a former goalkeeper, I look to this issue with great enthusiasm. Holding a skillset much different than anybody else on the pitch, it can be a lonely time in your own 18.
Graeme Bandeira is a football-mad caricaturist from England, but this is no “draw you driving a racecar in five minutes at your friend’s Bar Mitvah” guy. This is some seriously good football art featuring some true greats. And Sepp Blatter. He’s even been featured on Sky Sports.
London-based Diver & Aguilar hearkened back to days of yore for their series of FC Barcelona trading cards. Each card is a simple portrait with the frame “weathered” to resemble something you might find under glass in a sports memorabilia shop. These are the cards that might have been made …
Sad Goalkeepers is a strangely compelling little blog. There’s something about the looks on the faces of these men, men that have spent most of their lives becoming the most talented .01% in a globally competitive market, that reminds us of our own mortality, how no person is perfect, and …
After a week or so of holiday absence, I returned to the Hypebeast offices to see a mountain of packages. One particularly heavy box caught my attention, and a quick slice of the Xacto knife revealed two copies of adidas’ all-new brand history book The Story As Told By Those …
2011 was a pretty damn good year for new music (as evidenced by the exceptional FIFA 12 Soundtrack). Well, one fantastic new album that dropped recently was Hello, Sadness, by Anglo-Welsh indie outfit Los Campesinos!, whose track “Every Defeat A Divorce (Three Lions)” perfectly captures the feeling of allowing yourself …
In another life, Tinchy Stryder might have been a 5’1 professional footballer; his former youth coach at Wimbledon once compared him to Romario. Instead, he became a rapper, and subsequently, the shortest artist ever to score a number one hit on the UK top 40 charts. With that footballing pedigree …
You remember Zoran Lucić, don’t you? The man behind the gorgeous “Sucker for Soccer” series of posters we told you about in June sporadically adds to his collection, and we’re naturally always on the lookout for the latest and greatest. The newest additions are for a couple of Man City’s …
Unfortunate implication taken from this video: any picture of an RSL player is like those pictures in Harry Potter, only instead of talking to you, they’re choosing to silently watch what you’re doing most of the time, which is totally creepy. Although it might just be Will Johnson’s doing; we …
You know what my favorite thing about MLS expansion is? New stuff. New logos, new shirts, new rivalries, new storylines, and possibly most of all, new stadiums. Stade Saputo, home of 2012 debutantes Montreal Impact, will have a slightly different feel than most new MLS stadiums, having been expanded from …

The United Neighborhood Organization is a Chicago group that works to address local issues within the city’s Hispanic neighborhoods. One of those issues is schooling, and to that end UNO operates charter schools to serve their constituency. The newest addition to that list is the UNO Soccer Academy, which not …
Yesterday, Manchester United traveled to QPR and took a 1-0 lead just a minute in, courtesy of Wayne Rooney’s hairplugs. They scored their second and final goal in the 56th minute, off a long solo run by Michael Carrick, who had intercepted a stray pass by KCKRS favorite Joseph Anthony …
Landon Donovan is America’s most famous footballer. Just now, as he heads back to Everton on a short winter’s loan, enough people are talking about him that it amounts to a .1 on the Beckham Buzz Scale (Beckham is a 10. Donovan’s goal against Algeria at the World Cup is …
I have two words for you: “Football Philately.” “Philately”, for the uninitiated and those of you with dirty minds, is the study of stamps. Leave it to KCKRS to discover a site called “Football Philately” dedicated to the study of soccer-themed stamps that is no longer working (at least for …
