Kaká <3 Milan (and vice-versa)

By: Moka | Comments 3 Comments

Enter Kaká..

By: Moka | Comments 15 Comments

Welcome!!
So a few days ago, I was randomly browsing The Offside, only to stumble upon an Aquilani Fan Blog. The first thing that came to my mind was, ’so Aquilani has a blog, but Kaka doesn’t?’ and that prompted me to write to Daryl, and he was kind enough to give me the green-light..
