I’m a big VFF fan so I wanted to share this real-life VFF tryout with you but oh my sweet merciful fates the dude’s website is called My Achilles Rupture which is pretty much the most disgusting thing ever, especially when he shows the scars from his freaking rupture.

New season, new ball. The three big football leagues—England’s Premier League, Spain’s La Liga, and Italy’s Serie A—begin in just a few weeks, and Nike has developed a fancy, new ball for them that’s loaded with all types of hi-tech goodness that may pique your interest. It’s called the T90 Ascente
