New Year & Holiday Fun

Hope everyone had a lovely New Year’s Eve and have been enjoying the day today. As promised, a bumper crop of what various ‘ballers have been doing on their holidays. There have been engagements, baby announcements, singing in the mirror while dressed in a towel (Cristiano), blue gradient shoes (Sergio), celebrating on a camel (Mateo & Lukita) and a rather ungracious joke about a rival (Toni Kroos, being a bit rude, IMHO).  Let’s dig in! (It’s long so be prepared!)

Happy Halloween!

Although he posted it early, I can’t help but feel this is Cristiano’s costume and in my mind, it’s clear who he is this Halloween…

Back To Madrid, Accolades & Families

The team returned to Madrid after Wednesday’s win over Bayern Munich arriving home on Thursday. The game was fun but exhausted (the trip back seemed to take forever). Mygypsyspirit and I spent the following day recovering and hanging out. She left today so I’m getting back to work on things with a very quick catch up. 

G-Money Returns To Training, I Return To Posting, Awards, Interviews & Marcelo Is A Year Older!

First and foremost, I’d like to thank mygypsyspirit for holding down the fort during my move. I couldn’t have done it without her. It’s going to take me awhile to get settled but this first week has been especially busy with guests in town from overseas and a whole host of other things. I’ve barely been home to sleep, much less unpack. I’m looking forward to settling in and things getting back to normal (well, as normal as can be in my world!)

The FInal Final Pre-Sevilla Session & Happy Papi’s Day

Okay, the mothership was full of shit yesterday. Today was the final training session. Sigh.

Okay, the universe obviously hates me. Zoolander came to the Bernabeu but THE TEAM WASN”T THERE! WTF, WORLD?!

And I totally spaced about posting this over the weekend, but congratulations to Alvaro & Carlota who welcomed their third child, a girl named Vega, on January 27th but just announced it on Sunday. Big siblings Alba & Raul must be so excited! Well, perhaps only Alba, Raul always looks disapproving which is why I love him.  I’m looking forward to another extremely adorable little old person baby.

Mazel tov!

The NYE pictures are starting to roll in. None from Sergio…yet. But here are some fun ones. Jese saw Karim’s WTF-ness and raised the bar even higher.

While Marcelo is tending to his boys Liam and Enzo, some other ‘ballers we know and love are also going to be gearing up for those middle of the night feeding sessions.

The Winners Return & The Newest Muppet Baby

The team arrived back in Madrid this morning in what is essentially a drive by as they have the Audi Cup in Munich on August 4th & 5th.
