there's a fire starting here.
Thoughts on a final that I did not watch:
- Fernando Torres's effect is that of necessary wartime encryption, like Enigma -- what I feel about him is a scramble of delight and wariness, wracked with historical animosity, yes, but also judgement weighted by fan positivism. It's still difficult, but I'm glad to be learning.
- Less problematic for me is ( Read more... )

training ground bust-ups are my favorite.
From this piece of hilarity (bracketed interpretation for your convenience):
"There are certain codes of football Sergio has to understand [LIKE DEFENDING, OR NOT SUCKING METAPHORICAL COCK]," Aragonés said yesterday. "The better player you are, the more discipline you have to have in every sense [FOOL BEST NOT GO CLUBBING WITHOUT ME AGAIN]. He is ( Read more... ) -

HOLY SHIT, KLASNIC.
(HOLY SHIT, RUSTU??)
HOLY SHIT, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO SCORED FOR TURKEY JUST THERE.
HOLY SHIT. I'm so glad I'm deathly ill and didn't go to work today. -
as delirium sets in.
- Those new Liverpool away kits are so fucking misguided. I understand the retro aesthetic, but if we're going retro, why not actually do like, mid-1970s throwback? WHY GIVE US THE FUCKING 1989 AWAY KIT??? (Especially since it doesn't also come with the Candy sponsor!!)
Fucking kits, they never get them right.- Seven years is a long time, and like tasheila, ( Read more... )

I DON'T HAVE TIME TO MAKE THIS ENTRY MORE COHERENT, SORRY!
- WHAT (although the reunion with Ramon Diaz would be epic, let's not lie)
- GTFO
- GTFOOOOOOOOO
- DO IT
- DON'T DO IT

for thought.
Jesus Christ, Sergio Ramos's hair is approaching Harry Kewell samurai-topknot levels of absurdity.
On the Valencia front (don't feel like translating any of these bitches):
- Villa "passes" on the millions of Abramovich. Most players have said "money isn't the issue" at least once in their careers, but I really want to believe Villa when he says it ( Read more... )

just bullfighters.
Worlds collide. Last night I skimmed through the Spain-Sweden match (the knowledge that Albiol will be in black and white next season cures most of the restlessness I have about Valencia's current woes). Today, on the way home from work, I read this passage in The Ball Is Round about the first-ever Spain-Sweden match. Interesting how things change ( Read more... ) -
too many spanish words, slipping into coma (part 1)
- YOU NEED TO TONE DOWN YOUR GOAL CELEBRATIONS, HOMBRE.
David Villa will be subject to a round of X-Rays in order to determine if he has suffered another fracture in his right index finger, which he injured while celebrating his first goal [against Russia] with Fernando Torres ( Read more... ) - YOU NEED TO TONE DOWN YOUR GOAL CELEBRATIONS, HOMBRE.

lol, actual content to come later.
- Can I just say that those Kaka baby photos freak me the fuck out? Why is it dressed so nicely, for one? And why do the parents look as if they've just returned from a pleasant polo-ground luncheon instead of, you know, GOING THROUGH CHILDBIRTH? Why are these photos so staged? Why were these photos released at all? Do I care about the Jesus spawn? I ( Read more... )

good news first.
- What a cute story:
Pepe Reina was the makeshift translator in his efforts to persuade Austrian referee Konrad Plautz to give David Villa the match ball, a tradition after a player scores a hat trick ( Read more... ) - What a cute story:
