Yes, I’m very scared about tomorrow’s game. In order to mentally prepare I made this quick sketch. Recognize him? Write down your best guess in the comments section.
Very rarely do you see anything like the goal Luis Angel Landín scored last Saturday during the Morelia VS Cruz Azul match. Impressive.
I’ve received a large number of emails these past few days from people that took part in the wildly successful FIFA World Cup 2006 and La Polla América 2007 pollas asking about the 2008 Europolla.

Jealous?
