Excellent magazine with in-depth interviews and news coverage not easily-available here in the U.S. At times it pokes fun at the games stars, management, officials, and even its fans, yet it also is not afraid to tackle important issues in the game. Also includes fun contests in every issue.

Aside from the fact that the photographers go out of their way to insure that athletic company logos appear as often as possible in the magazine's many photo spreads, Four Four Two is an excellent read.

Four Four Two is a great magazine. It has great stories by some of the best football writers and is also often very funny. I have learned a great deal about the game reading it. Unfortunately, I still have not received an issue through my Amazon order. Completely ridiculous. I placed the order more than two months ago and still no magazine. Amazon works with an outside company to fill magazine orders and they are horrible. I tried to contact the outside company on at least 3 occasions and did not even receive the courtesy of a response to my e-mail. Amazon promised to look in to the matter 8 days ago but still no word from Amazon. This is a great magazine but if you can buy it at a news stand or a brick and mortar book store buy it there. The Amazon price is not much of a bargain over what I pay for it at my local Barnes and Noble anyway. I can not say enough good things about the magazine and I can not say enough bad things about my experience trying to subscribe to it through Amazon!

I lived in England until I came out to the States a few years ago. I had a subscription to this magazine then, and I depend on it even more now. For someone addicted to the REAL football in a town like Cincinnati isn't easy- but this magazine is like you're back in England. It is thhe best football magazine by far, you can't really go wrong with it. It has excellent, original stories and great interviews. It's a real life-saver!

FourFourTwo is full of ads and reflects the corporate side of our national game. The interviews are often anodyne and it tends to concentrate on the big clubs. When Saturday Comes is better reflecting football culture in all its various forms, unfortunately you'll have to search for it stateside. That said, this is ok and, in the land of the ball game, it must be manna from heaven.

This is the best magazine my wife and I have come across when it comes to football (soccer), particularly focusing on the UK, but with good features on football throughout the world. If you don't follow the Premier League or the other British leagues, this may not be the magazine for you, but if you do, it's simply the best. Unlike many other football magazines, it goes into quite some depth with some excellent feature articles that are long, substantial, and well written. It's generally an intelligent magazine, and now that the world cup is fast approaching in 2010, we've renewed our subscription so that we can stay in touch. The internet is a great resource for football information if you're stuck in the US like we are (we do watch Setanta and FSC, too) but there's something about getting and reading a magazine that the internet cannot quite replace. Definitely recommended!

Being from Montana you always get the best football news or football for that matter. I am forced to rely on 442 and never am I dissapointed. From news of trades, fights or simply Sir Bobby Robson's take on the latest news you can't go wrong with this magazine.

I love this magazine because the articles can make you howl with laughter (and they printed my e-mail!). It is very corporate and flashy but the columns, letters, and monstrous close-up photos give it a lot of personality. The information is sometimes a bit dodgy. If the cover says a manager has professed his love for his team, by the time the magazine has hit the stands, said manager has been paid off and sent off. And in the "Boy's a bit special" section, I've been reading 442 for 9 years and a tiny handful of those players make it to the premiership.

Their best material is their surveys. Best players, richest players, richest teams, most important managers, etc. And they put together some pretty good supplements. The subscription price is worth it to stay connected to the inside track.

For the soccer mad guy who has everything this is a great magazine to subscribe to. I got it for my hubby who is a mad Liverpool fan and he read and rereads this magazine and passes it to his friends. We live in the USA and can only get this by subscription. It is like the equivalent of People mag. for guys - full of gossip and facts.

I've paid for a year's subscription but three months later no magazine. If you want this magazine strongly consider going to your local bookstore and do not risk throwing away your money here.

My son loves this magazine and we are always buying at the newsstand at a hefty price. So, I thought my son would enjoy a subscription for his birthday. I ordered the magazine on December 4, over a month before his birthday. However, no issue has arrived yet and his birthday is long past. It is now February 28 and still no magazine. Our order states to expected delivery by February 20. How long does it take to fulfill a magazine subscription?

UPDATE: I sent an email to the vendor on February 28 requesting a status of my order, but received no response to date. The first issue finally did arrive on March 5.
