What better way to start my group coverage than with a post full of national team love, right?
Chile’s players are all smiles in training:

But, of course, no one shows the love like La Roja. The Kings of Football are also the Kings of Bromance.

Santi and Brazuca:

Ooohhh! We need Spain’s roommate list!
Are the socceroos practicing the Haka?
spanish roommates list would be fab

We’ll have to track some Dahveed love down. I know that I definitely want to see some! 🙂
Oh, i have no doubt I’ll find lots of Daveed love for future postings! And, ugh, my firstborn child for that roommates list!! But… I seem to remember an interview Xavi did ages ago that said they don’t share rooms, so if that’s still true that’s a crime against bromance. Sigh.
