I imagine that 90% of the time, the English FA will be the topic of anything that anyone writes for Skinbyrd on the subject of soccer/association football (from here out to be referred to as fussball so as not to offend/annoy anyone). But not right now. This weekend gone by was the start of the African Cup of Nations, hosted this time around by Ghana, and the tournament will continue through February 10. There has been a lot of whining coming from England and France in particular, two nations whose domestic leagues have increasingly come to rely on African players at all positions. Why can’t Africa have their national tournament in the summer when the European leagues are off? I can’t think of a better excuse than this: there is no amount of air conditioning that would help people trying to play 90 minutes in the summertime in Africa. So here we go. 
Ok, no real trouble, not yet at least–though my own byrd stopped me from trying to take a picture of random byrd at the chippy the other night… happily, though, things seem to be picking up around here at skinbyrd.com. So, I just wanted to check in and spread the news of just a few of the things we have planned for you in the coming weeks…. 
We’re not 100% sure of what we’re doing but the one thing we all agree on is that we like skinhead girls. So most likely this site will be a lot of picture posts detailing beautiful skinbyrds and talking about the style, music and fashion of the greater skinhead culture. Please send us your pictures and stories or anything you think we should write about. feel free to comment and join the ranks! Send your tips to tips @ skinbyrd .com.
