African Arenas
Just in time for the World Cup, there is a new photobook available called African Arenas by Thomas Hoeffgen, a german Photographer. It was a personal project for him that took 10 years to complete – and the results are very impressive. It appears to do justice in capturing the passion that the continent has for football. He visited several countries over 7 trips to find the right angles and timing to shoot the 85 images and stories that fill the pages of his book. Covering makeshift goalposts on flat pieces of land to concrete stadiums, all kinds of arenas are showcased.
The book can be ordered here.
Looking forward to getting my hands on this!

Stay healthy playing football
Every Wednesday The Ringleaders play 2 hours of football. We burn in between 700 to 900 calories playing matches of 5 on 5.
On Sundays both RFC squads play 1 hour of competitive football, burning in between 700 to 870. These are approximate numbers because many factors influence calorie count.
A true Ringleader’s Meal:
* breakfast: 1 cup of bran cereal with 1% milk+ 1 yogurt+(add 1 tea spoon of flax seed)
* snack: 1 kiwi+ 12 to 15 raisin grapes
In summary… to live better:
- Play football 3 to 4 times a week
- Don’t smoke. That goes for you Vince.
- Eat well and reasonably (fruits, vegetables, water, fish etc…)
Check out this site on cancer prevention. I found it very interesting how basic things make a difference!

CTRUS Football by AGENT
A secretive ’strategic intelligence embassy’ by the name of ‘AGENT’ just informed us of a new football they have designed called ‘CTRUS’. Billed as ‘the first soccer ball you can see through’ the design emulates the bounce of an inflated pneumatic soccer ball, but offers the advantage of not loosing air. An inner light also displays if the ball is over the goal line or outside the field of play.
See more on Designboom.

Best Dressed Men in Football
I was talking to Vince a few weeks ago about Pep Guardiola. As far as style, forget Beckham, Pep is the real deal. As far as football, Pep is the future. First time I saw him play was during World Cup’94. After that, since there wasn’t any football on Canadian Television, Pep and many others faded.
Vince again, introduced me to Shimon aka SFC. Homeboy is into fashion and football.
“This section is where the sartorial side of football kicks in. Jose Mourinho, the often controversial but often victorious skipper established a name for himself by winning the Champions League with FC Porto – a considerate underdog in the competition – and his dominance in the English game during his three year tenure at Chelsea. His counterpart, Pep Guardiola is a relatively new face among the coaching profession but his name graced the pages of Spanish press during the 90’s as he spent over a decade donning the red and blue stripes of Barcelona. As both men continue their journey this season to capture their second Champions League titles they will do so in style.”

One Shot!
Belgium’s gallery space, B.P.S.22 has scheduled an exhibitions dedicated to football and contemporary art. “One Shot” brings out the relationship that current artists hold with the world of football. There will be two works that illustrate the gradual installation of football media – a video portrait of Zidane by Douglas Gordon and Philippe Parrione and a video portrait of George Best by Hellmuth Costard.
According to the press conference release, “between these two filmed works, more than thirty years have passed, marked by fundamental changes in the world, for which the exhibition presented at the B.P.S.22 is intended to be an echo through works which approach or question football and its connections.”
One Shot! Football and Contemporary Art
B.P.S.22 space for contemporary creation, Charleroi – Belgium
6 march – 11 July 2010
One Shot will run from March 6th to July 11th 2010.

Hans van der Meer Awesomeness!
Hans van der Meer is a 54-year-old photographer living in Amsterdam.
Ten years ago he shot lower league soccer matches in fields across Europe.
The photographs are ridiculous. The site, not so much.
Spend an hour screen-shooting his site here.
Read his bio here.
Buy his books here and here.
And send them to me here.
