Good, very readable issue. Highlights include great articles on recent summer tournaments like the ridiculous Club World Cup, the Women’s Copa American and WAFCON. Richard Purden’s interview with Peter Hook is also excellent, as is the Greatest Game segment. I found Alan Macdougall’s article on Liverpool to be quite cliche and insubstantial though.
