I made the magazine

I picked up the current Australian FourFourTwo magazine, it is the August issue and for those of you who don't know how these monthly work that means it is the issue that came out in July, the first week of July for this magazine. I just thought I would comment on how ridiculous it is that they call it the August issue when at it's release all the articles would have been written in June, making all the information current as of June and then the issue released in July. So where does August come in there???
Anyway so back to what I was telling you, they published my letter I wrote to them, they titled it "There's More To Football" and it is actually the first of the published letters in the issue! They are at the very front of the magazine (page 11) and it was to my surprise as I went to read the letters I thought to myself this sounds a lot like something i would say, and then hold on I wrote them an email oh look that's my name at the end, cool!
So i am very excited by this. I always knew I would make a football magazine.
Also if you are puzzled by the name of the magazine 4-4-2 is a football formation, four defence, four midfielders, two forwards, this is often considered an English formation.

Homeless World Cup

I was listening to Triple j this afternoon as I drove home from work, and who did they have come on but a homeless guy who is about to head over to Copenhagen Denmark for the Homeless World Cup where the Street Socceroos will play along with more than 45 other nations in Street Football. It will be the 5th of the annual tornament that is set to make it to Melbourne in 2008. The Australian team is backed by The Big Issue Australia, and has teams who train in most capital cities as well as some rural centres like Ballarat one of my old stomping grounds. Go the Street Socceroos, I think I will have to follow their progress.
