Outcasts arrives


No need to be as glum as Greenland captain Niklas Kreutzmann after his side were knocked out of last year's ELF Cup.

Outcasts! The Lands That FIFA Forgot has finally come back from the printers. It will take a short while for the books to go to the warehouse and then be sent out but anyone who has kindly ordered the book should get a copy very soon.

Play The Game in Reykjavik

I have just been at the latest Play The Game conference in Reykjavik in Iceland, where I gave a presentation on the role of football in the political conflict in Cyprus, which is available here (pdf).

I was also interviewed for a short video piece about sport & conflicts in places such as Cyprus and Kosovo, which you can see here.

I have also written a piece on non-FIFA football for the latest issue of an Indian sports magazine called All Sports.
