Going Back To Cali (And That Hair? I Don’t Think So)

The team, joined by Xabi & Pepe, had their last training session before packing their headbands, Louis Vuitton washbags, murses and attendant Euro essentials (hair gel, Gucci belt buckles, etc.) and heading off to Los Angeles.

Throwback Thursday Hair Horror

As you all know, we here at HB & HB  love to bitch and moan about the horrific hairstyles ‘ballers foist upon us. But honestly, kids, we don’t know real pain. I thought I’d just remind y’all what that’s about. But warning: this is not for the faint of heart. Case in point: Luis Figo who is looking all suave and urbane in the fotito above. Sure, he sometimes wears challenging attire when playing golf, but that’s whimsical. Cute, right? Mildly quirky! Well, back in 1991, Figo looked like this…

World Cup 2014 – Karim Benzema: Menace II Society

I mean, it’s one thing if young ‘uns like Antoine Griezmann want to fangirl over Karim like he’s Harry Styles and emulate his poor hair choices. But it’s something completely different when Karim’s follicular tragedies unduly influence one of our best and brightest fully grown men.  Yes, someone else has fallen under the sway of the dead animal pelt coiffure. And it breaks my heart to tell you who.

An Itty Bitty Burrito Baby And What Hath Karim Wrought?

Marta captured Calleti and baby India napping on their vacation. She’s so tiny! (and four days younger than My Littler Pony) I love it when wee bebes are all wrapped up burrito-style. So sweet!

What’s not so sweet is Karim’s influence on the younger members of Les Bleus.

UPDATED: Bringing Home Big Ears, Family Love & Promises Kept

Martin uses his papi’s gold medal as a teething ring.

I’ve been watching the live feed of all the festivities and trying to catch up on the 8 bazillion pictures we need to post! Let’s start before the final…

The team had the support of their families & friends yesterday along with millions of Madridistas world wide.

Concentracion, Arrival, Starting Line Up & More

“I know what you’ve been saying about me and I DON’T APPRECIATE IT.”

Repeat after me: “It’ll grow back. It’ll grow back.” That said, it’s going to look like hot buttered ass while it grows out (as anyone who has ever shaved their head will tell you. I can attest).

Your Life Choices, Sergio: Examine Them

Yes, we won and kept a clean sheet yesterday, but everyone seemed laser focused on Sergio’s newest hairdo during the match. ::shaking my head::  Sigh. He will do what he will do. I’m also side eyeing the additions to his tattoo. It’s getting more challenging by the second. As long as he doesn’t touch his chest, I’ll tolerate it.  I still haven’t forgiven DAgger for defacing his fabulous chesticles.

Happy Birthday Maisougio!

Sese sternly invites you into the birthday celebration.

Today is the birthday of my partner in crime Maisougio! Please join me in wishing her a wonderful day and join in the hijinks after the jump…

First Match Of 2014!

The team is ready to face Celta. Earlier today, they got their concentracion on waiting for the match. Watcha carrying there, Arbie? I’m guessing 8″ by 10″ glossies of Chori that you’re going to hang up in your room at the residence. Am I right?
