Ever want to watch TV sports without the distracting play-by-play from the broadcast booth? Can you imagine just hearing the thump of the ball, the barked commands of coaches & captains, the songs of the fans?

The feature appeared in indie soccer magazine Howler (in glorious print format) --> read it here.
