Oh, that crazy cup: Rosenborg ravished by pretty men in pink.

23. September 2010

Oh yeah, in addition to the league being just as delighfully wacko and devoid of logic as we should hope for – not to mention making up for often lacking in true quality – there’s also been a cup this year that is also showing some surprises; one of the biggest ones happening last night.Tweet
