Recovery, Edith Extends & Ice Buckets Galore

The team had a recovery session today before they get back into preparing for Friday’s second leg of the Super Copa.

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.

Thursday Late Night Bits & Bobs

How does this always happen? I get home from work late, eat dinner and then sit down to post – poof! – it’s close to 11 PM. I give up. Here’s a quick rundown.

First, congrats to Nacho who yesterday extended his contract with Real Madrid for an additional 4 years.

Wednesday Night Bits & Bobs

That awkward moment when you meet the guy you named your dog after.

An eagle-eyed cule (Photo by @barzaboy) spotted Messi & Cesc chatting with Isco in Ibiza and thankfully, snapped a picture. Ha!  I can see it now:

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.

Monday Bits & Bobs: Bebes, Daddies, Vacation Time

Yesterday was Father’s Day and many of our faves posted tributes. Carlota posted this great shot of little Raul with his binky that says his papa is the best.

Mesut & Mandy’s Excellent Adventure, Cristiano’s In The Pink

If I can make it there…

Hi folks, just wanted to drop these here and then run because A) I have lots of stuff to do this weekend and B) Any potential shrieks of despair/elation will undoubtedly give me a headache. So here you go! I’ll disappear for awhile until the internet gets this out of their system. (Yes, I’m avoiding Twitter, Tumblr, LJ, etc. today).

Mesut and Mandy were PDAing all over the West Village yesterday. Ah, young love.

Updated: Bits & Bobs: Icky Mouse, Deafening Fangirl Screams & More

I know Shigs would take one look at all these pictures of Kaka with America’s favorite rodent and say “Icky Mouse” as sure as I’m standing here.  Speaking of, I had a lovely time with with watishistas Shigs, P, forzasusan & Baby Girl last night at the Spain vs. Ireland game. It was a drive by for me. I pretty much arrived and hit my seat right before the national anthem and tore out of there right after. Week night games suck.  Ireland did a great job much to the delight of forzasusan. I spent a lot of time sneaking peeks at Nando bitchfacing non-stop on the bench.  He did bust out a big grin and a hug for Robbie Keane though.

Fred & Ginger Make A Recommendation, Historic Remontadas, Iker For Adidas & Double Datin’

Ah, Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers! When I was a woobins-sized Lozil and had major disappointments, my mom would always sing this song to me. So here it is, boys. I love you! Hala Madrid and let’s kick some arse next week!
