This guy obviously doesn't have a girlfriend, as he probably would be doing something else with his balls. He is bloody excellent at pool though.

It is apparently quite a bit faster than any other browser, so, if you want to try it out, you can download it here

The hand of God, act II

Lionel Messi really is the new Maradona. After his wondergoal two months ago against Getafe, he added a new Maradona copy to his acts. During saturday's game against Español, he temporarily gave hope to the Barcelona fans of retaining tlast years title with a copycat goal of Maradona's against England in Mexico '86. A late Español goal, and the simultaneous one for Madrid in Zaragoza, both for a 2-2 draw, give Madrid the upper hand in the title race, only having to win against Mallorca at home next week.
