Tonight I’ll [hopefully!] be taking a rest from Street Fighter IV after two full nights of X-Box Live championship battles; I’ve gotta say though, last night was pleasantly different as the last hour or so I just spent sparring with … Continue reading →

I joked a while ago (actually around this time 3 years ago) about how if he kept up his goal-scoring form, he could make Lippi’s world cup team… well that did turn out to be a joke after all, but … Continue reading →
