Are You Ready?

Yeah, neither am I, but the big day is upon us! The team did their stretchies atop the hotel and we were treated to more behind the scenes goodies.

Cristiano (In The Buff) And Irina For Vogue España

The much talked about photo shoot with Mario Testino for Vogue España is finally upon us and the cover is breathtaking! Can’t wait to see the rest. Interview here and “Making of” video after the jump! It totally cracks me up though at how much it reminds me of Sami & Lena’s controversial GQ cover. However this time, the roles are reversed. But as you can see from the video, there’s plenty of equal opportunity nudity to go around.

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 II

Yeah, I’m about 2 months behind on Bits & Bobs so I’ve prepared a bunch. First up, I MISSED ENZO’S BIRTHDAY! That is unacceptable. It was 2 days ago. Our favorite bebe is now 4 years old. Wow. He’s getting so big. His proud parents along with Tia Yasmin & Tio Caio had a party for him.  

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!

Thursday Night Bits & Bobs

Oh, Karim.

I just even know what to do with him at this point. Here’s some quick bits & bobs before I hit the hay. Click on the galleries after the jump to scroll through the photos & captions.

Tuesday Bits & Bobs, Part II

So, I’m teetering on the edge of exhaustion here, peeps. It’s been a long ass day. I’m going to catch up on things as quickly as I can. Please forgive me for my lack of, um, brains? typing? everything? At this point, I’m about to fall asleep on my feet.

First up is David Villa. Many of us were taken by surprise when his transfer to Atleti was announced. As for that bargain price, well, it’s not as bad as we thought.

Sunday Bits & Bobs, Part II

I’m back! I took a brief cupcake break and will have a proper dinner once I finish this. Here’s the rest of the Bits & Bobs, starting with Marcelo.

Marcelo is still in Brazil with Clarice, Enzo, Caio & Yasmin. They look like they’re having a good time seeing friends & family.

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.

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.
