    The Sexy Football Calendar of 2014

    In 2013, it was all about the managers. In 2014, the sexy football calendar takes shots at the big wigs of the sport (Sepp Blatter, Michel Platini) and a player or two as well, giving a sexy, funny and insulting vision on some of the sport’s most powerful people, which shouldn’t be taken seriously all the time.

  • Champions League Winners, Losers and Suspicions

    Plenty of drama, disappointments and surprised filled the final group stage night of the 2011-2012 Champions League with a tad of conspiracy in mind.
