      Yes it does actually. Approved it. Add to the England section so that you'll get more comments and discussions on it.

      You know it ;) Got injured 25 minutes into my debut today though, very pissed off.

      shit bad injury?

    4. BenMWard

      BenMWard

      Nah, just a quad strain. But it was enough to make running up and down the wing a bitch, plus their was no point risking it getting worse as we were only playing a friendly.

  8. Going to the Olympics again tomorrow to see Brazil vs South Korea :)

  9. Gonna start on a new article today, it'll go up on Monday/Tuesday. Putting a lot of effort into this one so I hope you guys enjoy it :)

      Took me a minute to correlate that with the US release, but I knew it looked familiar. It was released as the HTC Status here. Reminds me a lot of a Blackberry, with the unfortunate addition of a Facebook button.

    3. BenMWard

      BenMWard

      By brother has a BlackBerry and it's head and shoulders above that. The Facebook button is just a gimmick really and I don't use it at all, I've pressed it once and that was by accident.

    4. frstplce

      I used to have a Blackberry. They just couldn't keep up. Todays tech market moves quickly and Blackberry is still hanging onto an OS that is way outdated. I've got a Motorola Photon now and Android is wonderful.

  11. Had a charity game for the team I play for today. Good fun, free buffet afterwards!

    1. frstplce

      frstplce

      Sounds fun. The trick though is that you're supposed to offer the opposing team the free buffet *before* the game. :P

    2. BenMWard

      BenMWard

      It was the first team vs the second team so everyone got in on it anyway :P

  12. Had a double session at the gym today (strength and cardio) followed by a session of badminton. If anyone wants tips on how to become a physical machine then just drop me a PM ;)

      @komodo

      Actually the way I play I might pick up injuries. There are times I even dive like Tsonga in tennis. :P

      @TNB brutal stuff mate....do you also celebrate like Tsonga when you win? lol

    4. komodo

      @Ben I only do about 5hrs a on the bike and 4hrs on heavy bags a week plus do some sparring when I can. I use to run but found it really boring. I try to keep the cardio to a bare minimum don't really want to lose any muscle. But I can see why people would enjoy it I prefer doing strenght work peronally.

  13. Happy new year!

      Been there pal. Drink plenty of water and get some rest

  15. I can only apologise to other members and the staff. My activity levels have been terrible lately as I've had lots of Uni assignments, plus I have a second job on top of my coaching. Things have calmed down a bit now, so I'm back!

      My come back has sucked due to Uni work. Just 1200 more words on my biomechanics assignment and you'll all have to put up with my again full time!

  16. I met John Farnworth at the weekend, that name should be familiar to freestyle football fans! Turns out that he works with the company I'll be working with this summer in the US and Canada.

    1. BenMWard

      I should also say that he was the nicest guy ever. Stopped and talked to me for a good 15 minutes even though he had to get ready for a show and he let me grab a quick picture with him.

      I think I know this lad, not personally, but I watched some of his videos year ago or so on youtube, while watching some great freestyle footy footage indeed. Talented and skillful, he's so calm and chilled. He also made the impression of very nice person so it does not suprise me :) That's nice Ben, let us know if you'll meet him again later on during the summer!

    3. BenMWard

      BenMWard

      Yeah, I used to watch his video from the age of about 14 so it was pretty special to meet him! I'll certainly let you guys know if I end up working with him!

  17. I think I'm done with the post count games for a while! What a big effort over the last 24 hours that was!

  18. I was keeping quiet on this until it was confirmed, but it's official now - I'm gonna be spending the summer in Ontario, Canada coaching football!!! :D

  19. If SS were a family, Luke would be the creepy Uncle . . . ;)
