Steve Qua is a massive football fan. So much so that he makes hand linocut prints of every Liverpool FC match result. Now his hand printed results service extends to the World Cup scores. A lot of love goes into these prints. And they’re so beautiful.

Here are two things I love: Twitter and Football. Together. Only 2 more days before the action starts.
A Fix for Footy Nets
I am 5’2 and half. If I stand really tall I can be 5’3. this makes me about two whole feet too short to reach up to the top bar in a football goal. Why is this information relevant you might ask?
