One Love

All photos by Levon Biss.

There’s a book that’s taken up residence on a coffee table at our house. I’d seen it in a bookstore a few years ago and visited it from time to time before finally breaking down and bringing it home. It’s full of photos of soccer at both its highest and most basic levels. Every few pages there is quote about soccer, life, and the blurry line between the two.

A few samples are above and below, but Levon Biss‘ “One Love: Soccer for Life” is a better page one to three hundred and eighty one experience.

“Football is such a funny game. It’s a fairy tale really.” – Alex Ferguson
