Football Photography

So, the stage is set for the South African 2010 World Cup Final, Spain v Holland.

It’s been fairly eventful, with Ghana being the first African nation to reach the semi finals. Argentina’s finest volleyball player entertaining the world’s press by slagging off the French, singing in press conferences and telling Pele he should be put in a museum. And England have gone home after performing like a bunch of over paid girls, who can’t keep it in their shorts.

However, there’s one group of people who you can guarantee will be at every World Cup to the end. And that’s Magnum’s Photographers. (A bit of a tenuous link, I know, but it gives us a chance to show you some of the pictures taken from Magnum's new essay titled 'Football Around The World.)

Shown below are a few examples.

The full version can be seen on their excellent website.
