Training & Valentines

Someone’s gonna get sued by Bale.

I’m so pissed! I thought the match was tomorrow so I scheduled something for Sunday morning that I now can’t get out of. DAMN IT! I’m going to miss the first half. Sigh. So anyhow the team trained again today for the dang match on Sunday. ::pouts::

Ringing In The New Year: Baller Style

How did some of our faves ring in the New Year? Well, Marcelo started by posting this, but had to share quite a few more pictures.

Bitsy Bobsy – Part I

I have not done a bits & bobs round up in over a month. I’ve been stockpiling pictures like crazy. That was the plan this weekend, but it didn’t exactly work out. Anyhow, Chori is indoctrinating his boy Romeo into the sports world!

Thursday Bits & Bobs

Lordy, I have so many bits & bobs, I don’t even have a clue where to start. Ugh. How’s about I just begin with our boys? Here’s Iker (or rather Geeker from the looks of it) with a fan. Our intrepid capi also posted a  shot of his good friend Roy Batty from Blade Runner who was enjoying some LA poolside tanning. 

He’s Gone, Oh I, Oh I, I Better Learn How To Face It And More

The Double As, as they were meant to be. Ah, it fills me with such sadness! Alvaro posted this with the caption (excuse the approximate translation: “Do not strive to make your presence noticed but your absence felt. Yours is going to be felt a lot. I wish all the best to the 5! See you soon, brother!” and then he added ” In bocca al lupo!!” which is Italian for ‘best of luck‘ WAH!

Sunday Bits & Bobs: Part I

And now we’re on to the first of the evening’s bits & bobs posts. Here’s Albiol with his girls. Look at how Alma is looking adoringly up at her papi. Alicia must be due any day now.  I can’t wait to see their baby boy. I’ll miss this family if they head off to Napoli but just as with Calleti, I will keep track of them.

Updated: Sunday Bits & Bobs, Part I

Okay, by opening with this Kaka in China shot, I’ve just assured that Shigs will not read the post ever. Girl, think of it as ripping off the Bandaid quickly. There’s more Kaka within, but I’m getting it out of the way first.

This is what happens when you basically take a weekend off from posting. Tonight will be a two post mammoth bumper crop of photos. Please bear with me as its more or less a photo dump. The weather here is too bloody hot and I’m too tired to do much more. All I can say is thank god for air conditioning otherwise, I’d be a puddle on the floor somewhere. Without further ado here’s A-L of the Bits & Bobs! (Updated to add pictures of Enzo, Guti, Antonella & Thiago. Please note Guti has a terrible hat on. Enzo does not)

Tuesday Bits & Bobs: More Enzo, Isco Arrives, Guti Drives & More Vacation Goodies

More Enzo! Always welome news. Here’s some more recent shots from our favorite boy and his family as they spend time in Brazil over the past month.

Monday Bits & Bobs

Work again has kept me from updating until quite late. Bah humbug! Pretty much all anyone was talking about today was the Confederations Cup. How about that goal line clearance from David Luiz? EPIC. Here he is carting Enzo around. Too much adorable for one picture. 

Saturday Bits & Bobs: Missing Marcelo, Happy Families & PDA

I’ve been missing Marcelo a lot lately. It’s going to suck to see our boys divided on the pitch tomorrow but such is the nature of national team duty.
