Holy shit, Allister vs Vitor

hier baal ik dus best wel van!

Allistar kan dit winnen als hij maar geen respect voor Vitors verleden toont. Daar gaan altijd die partijen op fout. It's a job ...just win the bloody thing en continue to the next round!!!!

ik bedoelde het niet in de zin van dat hij dit niet kan winnen,
maar meer in de zin dat wie er ook wint er voor mij een favoriet afvalt!
