EDITORS COMMENTS
In anticipation of the 2014 Brazil World Cup, soccer enthusiasts around the world are not only gearing up to watch their favorite professional players battle it out on the pitch but also taking to the field themselves. This print captures a makeshift soccer goalpost standing proudly near Molweni, west of Durban. The image, taken by Reuters photographer Rogan Ward on June 5th, showcases the passion and dedication that fans have for the beautiful game. From China to the Czech Republic and every continent in between, photographers were dispatched to capture images of these humble goalposts used by players to practice their skills. These snapshots provide a glimpse into how soccer transcends borders and unites people from all walks of life. The simplicity of this particular scene is striking; a single wooden pole stands tall against an open landscape. It serves as a symbol of hope and dreams for aspiring young athletes who dare to chase after glory with nothing more than determination and love for the sport. As we prepare ourselves for one of football's most prestigious events, let us remember that beyond all glitz and glamour lies a universal language spoken through grassroots play.
