I saw Rasho has 57 write-in votes, which is coincidentally the same number of days that Angel_Luv has had a chance to vote for him since Nov. 17.
I voted for Rasho, too. He is our national team captain. Watch the WC draw on Saturday.
unfortunately, but at least he'll be in the game
Duncan comes from behind to beat KG in the votes, pretty good since he was trailin him by nearly 100k votes
