Thanks to Tumblr and a boisterous welcome to new readers!

All of us here at A Football Report are proud to have been acknowledged by Tumblr as one of their favourite sites. But even before today’s Tumblr Tuesday mention, we have been committed to providing intelligent, entertaining, and insightful commentary on the beautiful game. Whether it has been an macroeconomic analysis on why Man City must be thwarted or a helpful guide to seeing beyond Barcelona and Real Madrid in Spain’s La Liga, we’ve been here and we’re here to stay.

In the past year we have built up a team of young writers from across the world (Boston, London, Lisbon, Los Angeles, Torino, Montreal, Sydney, New York, Paris, Atlanta, the list goes on..) and we have also interviewed the likes of Clint Dempsey, Landon Donovan, Clarence Seedorf, and Marta (full list of interviews here).

We’ve been constantly pushing ourselves to improve our coverage, splitting up content into our Cheeky Chip, Philosofooty, Match Centre, and Transfers sections. So here’s to appreciating the original supporters of AFR, but also to opening up our family to new lovers of the beautiful game!
