My grandmother wants to get me a magazine subscription for Christmas. Last year she gave me Reader's Digest (ohboy), but this year she's letting me choose. I was curious if there were any weekly or monthly soccer magazines out there. I don't know of any, but I haven't looked at magazines for about 10 years. Any leads would be helpful. Thanks, and mods, move this if it's in the wrong place.
Soccer America Magazine is THE source for America's passionate, knowledgeable soccer fans. And it has been for 33 years http://www.socceramerica.com/subscribe.asp
Well, FourFourTwo in terms of sheer quality is the best out there right now. But you have to be a big fan of the British game to really appreciate it. I got a subscription back in 01, and decided not to renew when I moved down here. Superb articles, but I just haven't been into as I was back then. Soccer America is great, but isn't as half as indepth as FourFourTwo is. Websites like Bigsoccer have pretty much made it redundant for hardcore fans like us, but it's nice to see a quality bi-weekly devoted to US Soccer. World Soccer is the most comprehensive rag out there. Covers nearly every single league on the planet with extensive tables and statistics along with FourFourTwo calibre writing. Those are pretty much the big 3 you'll find at places like Borders, Barnes and Noble, etc. There are other, less well known titles like The Soccer Post and 90 Minutes, which also cover the American game. 90 really doesn't have a set distribution schedule, though. It seems to fluctuate between monthly and seasonal. Oh yeah, and a poster here named Andy Mead runs his own Fanzine out of North Carolina called the Emerald City Gazzette, but I don't know if he's still doing it.
Hm, I just wonder if Grandma's expecting to shell out $75 for a monthly mag. Readers Digest costs more like $10.
hello, i subscribe to both soccer america and 90:00. they are both great mags and differ greatly in their style and look. you can check them both out at: www.socceramerica.com www.90soccer.com merrry christmas! robb
SoccerAmerica is not a monthly magazine. I think they publish 20 issues/year. In addition, you get daily newsletters.
soccer america was the only real source of information about soccer in this country prior to the internet boom... try following wcq 1990 without it..... getting match features and player profiles in a leagueless country....wow!! think soccer america was every two weeks....
