Erm, Arsenal? Please Don’t Quit Your Day Jobs

Mazel tov to Arsenal for winning the FA Cup again, but oh lordy, this sets the Cringe-O-Meter to overload. That said, Per, Ramsey & Koscielny certainly are game. Bless. (It’s still not as bad as that wretched NYC FC song) Oh and Mesut? One thing I need to say to you…

Mertesacker Emptiness

I posted this earlier today on my Facebook page and I’m still laughing hours later so I thought I’d share it with you all.

Replacing the lyrics of the Manic Street Preachers’ “Motorcycle Emptiness” (from 1992’s brilliant Generation Terrorists) with the names of German footballers is nothing short of genius. How on earth did this come about?

Think No One Is Reading Your Tweets? Think Again.

Watishista P sent this over to me yesterday and it gave me mad giggle fits. The best part is that the people who did the tweeting actually sheepishly apologized after the video was released. Hilarious.

Germany Gets Down To It

Argh, I am so exhausted! Here’s another picspam catching up with Germany that I hope I can actually stay awake to post. Mesut put this shot on Facebook today with the caption “Today I was at the press conference of the DFB. On the pitch I feel better – but media relations is one of them. But now is the concentration of the match against Italy.”  We know he’s shy with the press, but he looks so pretty talking to them!

Ah Germany!

Germany arrived in Poland yesterday looking all rumpled and casual in their traveling suits.
