2010 South Africa World Cup - A2B Editors
Matthew Pitt is a football fan hailing from Leeds, West Yorkshire
Matthew's first football memory is of the semi-final clash between England and West Germany, a game England lost 4-3 on penalties after drawing the match 1-1. The joy and exhilaration of seeing Gary Lineker equalize before enduring the heart-breaking penalty shoot out was enough to start the then nine-year old's addiction to the beautiful game.

Dave Allan was born and bred in Liverpool but currently lives in Berlin.
He organised and wrote most of the content on the A2B World Cup site for the 2006 Finals held in Germany, ending up editing the site from an Essen Internet cafe when the broadband connection went down in the flat he was staying in!
A staunch England fan despite having to support Scotland in his first two World Cups due to England failing to qualify, he has a dream that England's time has come after so many heartbreaking tournaments.

Kris Mole is a journalist/writer/degenerate who grew up in London and Brighton.
His biggest passion in life is the team from North London that plays in white. This has been the case since the times when top-flight football was still available live on terrestrial telly. After each game he’d go into the garden where he’d be Gazza, Lineker, Nayim, and even Erik Thorstvedt.
Kris turned out to be a half-decent player as he got older, and spent a couple of seasons playing in the Slovenian 3rd and 2nd divisions as a striker. His proudest moment came when he found himself lining up against Olimpija Ljubljana in a league fixture in the then national stadium (They’d been relegated for financial irregularities).
