I’d been meaning to do this for a few days now but I’ve been totally swamped. But today I was finally able to get caught up on my work assignments, and I don’t know how else to celebrate. :’D
So here are photos of some of my favorite Spaniards (in order of whom I find most attractive, LOLOLOL). I do not own these photos, btw, just found them around the internets.
Oh, and–you’re welcome. :D
Out with it: even if Spain doesn’t win the finals, I’ve become more of a fan of theirs than of Argentina. It isn’t too easy to admire Argentina after that dismal display against Germany, where they seemed to lack not just technique but also heart.
This may be horribly biased because Messi is my favorite, but I think one of the reasons Messi couldn’t shine within the Argentinian team is that they couldn’t give him enough to work with. In Barca, Messi had incredibly smart players like Xavi and Andres Iniesta working with him. Argentina doesn’t have midfielders of the same caliber, and for the most part they had trouble even getting the ball to him.
As for the Spanish national team, these past games have shown just how smart they were as a team. They’ve survived even though Fernando Torres has yet to remember how to play football (he has an excuse, he’s still not in top form after his injury). I’ve already said enough in praise of Villa and Casillas, but again, Xavi and Iniesta are among the world’s finest. Then there’s Ramos, who I don’t even want to like because he plays kind of dirty, but I love the guy’s fire and fighting spirit, especially after that match against Paraguay, in which he kept on playing after taking a boot to the face and getting a bloody head.
And for the sake of non-football fans who don’t care about all that *points up*, here are photos (unceremoniously snatched from the FIFA website) of the Spanish national team being their silly, lovable selves. :D
David Villa scored a goal and now he’s running away from Sex Cesc Fabregas, who looks like he really, really wants to hug him.
If you know me personally or even though Facebook, you’d know that I’ve been nothing but football these past few weeks, investing a tremendous amount of emotion into rooting for my favorite, Argentina, and my second pick, Spain. Of course, I don’t want my obsession to completely alienate anyone, so here–for the sake of people who are not into the sport–I’ll shut up and just post photos of extremely hot men.
Who just so happen to be football players. :D
(Of course, if you are a dude who is not into the sport, and not into looking at pictures of beautiful men, then I HAVE NOTHING TO OFFER YOU HERE. Shoo.)
Just because I need a teaser to go before the jump: let’s start with…
David Villa 
I ordered these babies earlier today, from a Multiply shop.
I’ll make the bank deposit tomorrow, then try to stay distracted for the next two weeks so the wait doesn’t kill me. This is my first time buying footwear online so I hope they’re comfortable (but since they’re flats I’m not too worried). At around P1100 they’re cheap for boots, much better than mall prices (and the stuff at the mall really isn’t even that great anyway). So yay! :D (more…)
