Swarup Pokhrel

- Much like arts and music, football for me is a way of expression. The individual flair of the Argentines is as much intriguing to me as the cynical (or pragmatic) defending of the Italians. Started watching Serie A around the mid nineties to follow the great Oruindi of the time. After all these years, still stuck in the debate between aesthetics and pragmatism. Always up for a few drinks and lively football conversation so feel free to follow me on twitter @argeniter or add me up on Facebook!
