    I put together this excel file where I listed all football newspapers (and some general newspapers with football sections) I could find and informations about them.

    Any help is much appreciated!

    - There are Gazilions different magazines in Brazil starting in the 50s
    - Information about the magazine 'Fußball Woche' aka 'Fußball Woche merged with Sport' aka Fußball Woche merged with Sport, merged with Megaphon' would be great

    Yes, it worked for me.

    Good list. Anyone know if any of these magazines offer a back issue library online?

    I can see you have listed Onze Mondial and Mondial but not Onze (which is for a great part the pre-Onze Mondial, this is true)..

    Le Miroir des Sports offered a large room to football and the bnf has all the issues online from the start in 1920 until 1943 (le Miroir des Sports restart in '51).

    https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/cb38728672j/date.item

    As an example, here's an issue from Feb. '34 with an article about a tournament between regional teams from France, Germany, Czechoslovakia and Hungary.

    There was certainly some other publications from before the war until the 60s (omnisport most likely or mainly combining two sports like football and cycling, or cycling and football).
    There was plenty of magazines from the 70s to the 90s even 2000s surely called "something-football" or "Foot-something" that lasted more or less time. Especially since the 80s. That's for sure. Some of them were not bad at all.

    From my region, I can recall a magazine called Guadalajara which must be rare by now (I have one still). It had success among the specialists, the actors of world football and some people who were aware of their existence like me (thanks to the geographical proximity certainly) but when they just started to develop and had more ambitions they knew the bankrupt. It was very technical and deep analyses but also much humor, surreal humor.
    So Foot can be seen as their heirs although it is not exactly the same, not exactly the same style. Guadalajara was ahead of its time in the mid-90s.

    I tried to find out way to get hold of different magazines. It's difficulty:
    - Shoot and Charles Buchan's Football Monthly I found this, but I don't know if they finished anything:
    https://www.scan-film-store.co.uk/case-studies/magazine-book-scanning
    - Mundo Deportivo/Marca/ABC whole archive online
    - Sport back issues to 2002 (but Sport is really, really shit)
    - Nemezeti Sport seems to have their whole archive online
    - Kicker offers their wholes archive from 1963 online
    - You can get Corriere della Serras whole archive online for a small fee
    - La Stampa for free
    - FUWO (DDR) is mostly online
    - You can order reprints from L'Equipe/France Football from the French National Library
    - On pressreader.com you get back issue libraries of a lot of magazines, but just back to 2003
    - This site has Brazilian football magazines archives:
    http://memoria.bn.br/hdb/periodico.aspx
    - Lots of Placars on google books
    - Yugoslavian magazine Tempo:
    http://tempo-sportskilist.blogspot.com/
    - UK has a great archive for their general newspapers like Times, Telegraph etc.
    - GdS, CdSp, Tuttosport.. are available in microfilm at several libraries in Italy and easily to get

    I know I asked it some time before but have you ever seen some decade/all-time rankings or so there? Can be for teams as well or something like that (I already know and have seen France Football had a yearly 'best team' poll, for example). Especially older decades are interesting in that respect.

    How to get access to Daily Telegraph, Guardian articles from the 1970s and before?

    Sadly no. If I see find something, I will post it for sure.

    There is a site called Gale. I don't have access to it and don't know how hard it is to get/if it's even possible outside of the UK.

    https://www.gale.com/intl/c/the-telegraph-historical-archive

    Other newspapers have easier accessible archives from what I've seen

    For Guardian you could get acces by buying this:

    Thanks, mate.

    Anyone know which of these magazines offered the best international coverage? I especially need something that would cover the pre-60s era of the game. I could use a replacement for World Soccer for those early years.

    France Football has quite a few pages dedicated to international football from what I've seen even in the 50s

    The other magazines are really focused on their own league, though there might be something I'm missing
