PLEASE EXCUSE THE POOR AUDIO QUALITY. TURN THOSE COMPUTER SPEAKERS ALL THE WAY TO 11! All in all it was a mediocre World Cup. Only a hand full of free kick goals with very low scoring games. It had its moments with the tournament favorites Spain winning it all but still lackluster with an abundance of 1-0 games. I'm glad there were no security issues or threats during the … [Read more...] about WORLD CUP FINAL FROM ALPINE

JERKO LEKO IN DUBROVNIK
By 41 CommentsI was sitting in Gradska Kavana in the center of Dubrovnik on Tuesday at 1:00pm when Jerko Leko sat down.
