Mundial #34

Mundial #34 – Sex & Love & Rock & Roll

From Jack Grealish’s lovely calves to love on the terraces, Mundial #34 is a wild, heartfelt and sometimes ridiculous celebration of everything that makes football so much more than a game.

This issue dives into sapphic love in the women’s game, Louis van Gaal’s chaotic genius, carnivals, Pele, York City, Merthyr Town, ultras, Puma Kings, and one unexpected zoo trip with Cole Palmer. There's a tragic love story in the stands of Ahlawy, a nostalgic spin through France in the 1980s, and a fresh take on Bend It Like Beckham.

Featuring words and photos by Tim Vickery, Joel Golby, Naomi Accardi, Emma Garland, and many more of the finest minds to ever write about football and feelings.

Love, chaos, kits, heartbreak, nostalgia, and a fair bit of rock & roll. It’s Mundial, baby.
