By: Sam | Comments 12 Comments

Camo?
Camo???
I may have thought this looked cool back in elementary school, but since I’m quite past that, this shirt is just horrible.
Sorry for the absence of late, I’m really busy with school and my band and stuff. I’ll have lots to say this weekend.

Goal of the Week: Round 6

By: Sam | Comments No Comments

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.
