I may have thought this looked cool back in elementary school, but since I’m quite past that, this shirt is just horrible.

Goal of the Week: Round 6
By: Sam |So basically, last round had no contest. Daisuke Matsui’s ninja flick has to be one of the best scored in Europe this year. Which is a bit of a letdown for this week, which produced many, many, ball-is-loose-in-the-area goals. Regardless, here are, in alphabetical order of keeper scored against, the candidates for this week’s goal [...]
