Nice sight, story isn't needed, picture says it all... Maybe you just had to play with DOF to make it perfect...

Nice headline. But it could be better if you have the players' face in the picture.

Nice picture but typically I think a newspaper would have a shot of the players. This is a little too abstract for a newspaper IMHO

Comment by melismatica:
This is not really a photojournalistic type of photo. It doesn't show a timely event, just a random deflated soccer ball that could be found in any back yard. Subtlety isn't effective in photojournalism which is meant to inform a wide public.

I find this composition rather mundane. The colors are drab and the lighting on the ball is flat. The ball just isn't a compelling enough subject.

Just my opinion, but I rarely (if ever?) see recent sporting events covered by "illustrative"-type photographs. They are always action shots from the game that include the players.

Too tight of crop for my tastes. A shot of the game would be more newspaper worthy in my opinion.
