mrw072 Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 When Saturday Comes is the only football magazine I buy now - i'd thoroughly recommend that. You'll get a wall chart as well. I used to buy World Soccer too - but I think over the years the quality has gone down a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1981 Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 I nearly bought Four Four Two the other day, then realised it was £8 Been subscribing to WSC for longer than I can remember though, so I've got their wallchart. Might get World Soccer as well if I go anywhere near a shop that sells it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_jagster Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 I liked World Soccer but that was about 10 years ago when newsagents and Sainsbury's sold it. I stopped when too many of their pieces were squad lists and tables and I felt there were fewer features. The world cup one was good last time tbf as they cover every team in depth. The lighter tone of the WSC one is good with which former players are pundits and who has endorsement deals, shouldn't really work but just does. I also used to get France Football but print media is dying in France too and it's just a monthly insert in L'Equipe now. No idea if they have a WC special this year.

Maybe someone can make use of this free subscription from vodafone? I have used a free trial before so can't use it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same...I had a subscription for years but ended it probably a good 5 years ago, maybe more. The quality just ended up being nowhere near as what I remembered it being like.

thefmveteran86 Posted November 10, 2022 Author Share Posted November 10, 2022 Forgot to ask anyone know where to get a decent wallchart so you can fill in the tables where the teams ended up with W D L GD PTs then Round of 32, 1/4 final, 1/2 semi then final?

The_jagster Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 No World Soccer in local Smiths The Athletic did a great podcast series called Euro Stories where they had journos from major countries and Denmark, Greece etc going through past tournaments but I must have been one of about 3 listeners because it hasn't appeared in the same feed for the World Cup Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFuller Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 (edited) The FFT wallchart looks great, but there are no tables to fill in (if that's what you are looking for). The preview magazine is always good reading, but not as in depth as something like World Soccer.

The Guardian or The Observer usually put out a little booklet just before a tournament. The Guardian did one just before the women's Euros (still have mine), and I'd imagine they'll do the same for this. Worth keeping a look-out for over the weekend.
