Thursday Training & More On The Champions League Draw/UEFA Awards

Before the reps of RM jetted off to Monaco for the Champions League draw, there was work to be done.

Ready For The Champions League Final!

Our capi looking totally badass.

Y’all ready for this? I’m never ready for the Champions League final but I’m going to put my nerves aside and cheer my heart out for the boys. Also, mygypsyspirit is back on US soil for a (too) short visit and I consider that a good omen! (Can’t wait to see you, girl!)

An Old Friend Returns

What is that I spy on Sergio? Could it be a headband? Why yes, yes it is. Lordy, we haven’t seen one of those on him in years. I can only see it as a good omen (and a shout out, because clearly he loves watishistas). Feels like an old friend has come back home.

Blancos Lend A Hand To Julio Iglesias…

…and hilarity ensues. Mad props to watishista Katie Ann for posting this to Twitter and mygypsyspirit for letting me know because this is pants-wetting hysteria at its best.

Cristiano, Iker, Raul, Figo and other celebs (Pepe Reina, Vicente Del Bosque, Rafa Nadal, Jose Merce, etc.) lip sync a song from Julio’s new album seemingly on Skype with Microsoft Movie Maker graphics. Let’s put it this way, these guys would make really bad drag queens with those lip syncing skillz (well, that’s one reason, also Del Bosque’s mustache). It’s UNBELIEVABLE (and excruciating). And if you thought poor Iker was uncomfortable and awkward in these situations before, well, let’s just say you’re in for a treat. And seriously, how did Sergio not end up in this? Was he too busy to Face Time? I am weeping. This made my Sunday.

El Clasico In The US: Miami Legends Cup

With all the World Cup uproar, I completely forgot to post this. El Clasico in the US -yep, you heard that right. The Real Madrid Legends are playing the Barcelona Legends. This is going to be a fun match and a chance to see some of the greats from both sides. Of course, they had to put it on a freaking Thursday night right after I get back from England so I can’t get there. Boooo! Anyhow, check out the confirmed players thus far. My head’s kinda exploding.

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…

International Break Means Get Your Worst Outfit Ready…

…at least for Sergio it does. What. The. Actual. Fuck. Is. He. Wearing. Dear Lord, just when you thought you’ve seen the worst from him!

Back To Training, A Visit From Luis & More

The boys got back to training today after a nice little break. Iker and Sergio joined the group while while Cristiano Ronaldo, Essien, Xabi Alonso and Modric received treatment inside the and didn’t come out to the pitch. Varane continued his recovery. Marcelo is in Brazil with his national team for the Confederations Cup while Nacho and Morata are with La Rojita preparing for the U21s European Championships.

Thursday Training, Corazon Classic, Another ICC Update and More Sese In Sevilla

Hey peeps, it was a hell of a long day and I’m only finally getting around to posting. Ugh. Can’t believe it’s nearly 10 PM. So here’s a quick and dirty catch up post (mea culpa!)

Training, Concentracion & So Much More

What’s caught your eye, Pipita? Looks like it’s Mesut.

The last training before the Super Copa final took place this afternoon. New dad Pepe was there along with new signing Modric (aka Null Null aka Nullie).
