Unquantifiable Genius: Neymar as Messi
afootballreport:
By Eric Beard
“Pelé doesn’t know sh*t.”
That was Sid Lowe’s response to James Richardson’s teasing statement on The Guardian’s Football Weekly Podcast. Richardson, of course, was referencing Pelé’s opinion that Neymar is better than Lionel Messi. With Pelé getting up there in age, Sid might be on to something. But that’s neither here nor there. The fact is that Neymar couldn’t...

Corinthians x Time Lapse
Roberto Massao Kumamoto is an expert when it comes to all things Time Lapse and Tilt Shift, and his videos primarily capture Brazilian culture. In his most recent work, he took in a Corinthians match and the results are just about as spectacular as you would expect.

Keep It Clean Clásico Contest!
afootballreport:
Don’t give up hope just yet. Yes, we know. It got ugly last time around. Very, very ugly. Nevertheless, El Clásico is back and the expectations are bigger than Nicklas Bendtner’s ego. It might be a little optimistic, but we want to see a good, clean game between two of the best football clubs in the world. Is that really too much to ask for? Probably. And that’s the basis of...

Is this the Clásico of the future on Pro Evolution Soccer 2022?
